Abstract

Several types of novel apio nucleosides were synthesized starting from 1,3-dihydroxyacetone and evaluated for antiviral activity. Among compounds tested, amino substituted apio dideoxynucleosides exhibited anti-HBV activity, while thioapio dideoxynucleosides were found to be active against HIV-1. Apio dideoxydidehydro nucleosides showed moderate to potent anti-HCMV activity, but their bioisosteric thioapio dideoxydidehydro nucleosides did not exhibit any significant antiviral activity.
