Abstract

A number of 2',3'-deoxynucleosides have been discovered to possess significant antiviral activity against HIV-1 and other viruses. Since it has been suggested that proper conformation of the dideoxynucleosides in terms of ring puckering of the five-membered sugar moiety is required for them to exhibit antiviral activity a number of nucleoside analogues to fix sugar-ring puckering have been synthesize and evaluated for antiviral activity.
