title: First synthesis and anti-HIV evaluation of 4'-methyl-cyclopentanyl 9-deazaadenosine.
abstract: The first synthesis of a 4'-methylated carbocyclic C-nucleoside 16 was achieved via the mesylate intermediate 10, which was prepared using ring-closing metathesis and S(N)2 alkylation from acetol 5. When antiviral evaluation of synthesized compound 16 was performed against various viruses such as HIV, HSV-1, HSV-2, and HCMV, it showed moderate anti-HIV activity in MT-4 cell line (EC(50) = 14.7 micromol).
