Novel 1'-methyl-5'-norcarbocyclic adenosine phosphonic acid analogues were synthesized using an acyclic stereoselective route from commercially available 3,3-diethoxy-propan-1-ol 4. The synthesized nucleoside phosphonate 19 and phosphonic acid 21 were subjected to antiviral screening against various viruses.

A very simple synthetic route of a novel SATE prodrug type of 6'-fluoro-6'-methyl-5'-noradeonosine carbocyclic nucleoside phosphonic acid is described. The key fluorinated alcohol intermediate 7 was prepared from the epoxide intermediate 6a via selective ring-opening of epoxide. Coupling of 7 with $N^6$-bis-Boc-adenine under a Mitsunobu reaction followed by phosphonation and deprotection afforded the carbocyclic phosphonic acid. The chemical stability of the bis(SATE) derivative 13 was measured at neutral (pH 7.2) and slightly acidic (Milli-Q water, pH 5.5) pH. The antiviral activity test of the SATE prodrug 13 and its parent nucleoside phosphonic acid 11 were evaluated against HIV-1.

Efficient synthetic route to novel 2'-spirocyclopropanoid 4'-deoxythreosyl phosphonic acid nucleosides was described from 1,4-dihydroxy-2-butene. Cyclopropane moiety was prepared via ester enolate alkylation using (2-chloroethyl)dimethylsulfonium iodide. Synthesized nucleoside analogues 16, 19, 23 and 26 were tested for anti-HIV activity as well as cytotoxicity. However, none of them showed any anti-HIV activity or cytotoxicity up to 100 ${\mu}M$.

Steric and electronic parameters of 4'-substituents play significant roles in steering the conformation of nucleoside analogues. In order to investigate the relationship of 4'-substituent with antiviral enhancement, novel 4'-phenyl-5'-norcarbocyclic adenosine phosphonic acid analogues were racemically synthesized via de novo acyclic stereoselective route from propionaldehyde 5. The phenyl substituted cyclopentenols 15a and 15b as key intermediates were successfully constructed via reiterative carbonyl addition of Grignard reagents and ring-closing metathesis of corresponding divinyl 14. The synthesized nucleoside phosphonic acids analogues 19, 20, 21, and 23 were subjected to antiviral screening against HIV-1.

Racemic synthesis of novel 5',5'-difluoro-2'-methyl-apiose nucleoside phosphonic acid analogs was achieved as potent antiviral agents. Phosphonation was performed by direct displacement of triflate intermediate with diethyl (lithiodifluoromethyl) phosphonate to give the corresponding (${\alpha},{\alpha}$-difluoroalkyl) phosphonate. Condensation successfully proceeded from a glycosyl donor with persilylated bases to yield the nucleoside phosphonate analogs. Deprotection of diethyl phosphonates provided the target nucleoside analogs. An antiviral evaluation of the synthesized compounds against various viruses such as HIV, HSV-1, HSV-2 and HCMV revealed that the pyrimidine analogs (cytosine, uracil, and thymine) have weak anti-HIV or HCMV activity.

Efficient synthetic route to novel 4'-fluorinated 5'-deoxythreosyl phosphonic acid nucleosides was described from glyceraldehyde using Horner-Emmons reaction in the presence of triethyl ${\alpha}$-fluorophosphonoacetate. Glycosylation reaction of nucleosidic bases with glycosly donor 14 gave the nucleosides which were further phosphonated and hydrolyzed to reach desired nucleoside analogues. Synthesized nucleoside analogues 18, 21, 25 and 28 were tested for anti-HIV activity as well as cytotoxicity. Adenine derivatives 18 and 21 showed significant anti-HIV activity up to $100{\mu}M$.

Novel 2'(${\beta}$)-methyl-5'-deoxyapiose purine phosphonic acid analogues were designed and synthesized from 2-propanone-1,3-diacetate. Condensation successfully proceeded from a glycosyl donor 9 under Vorbr${\ddot{u}}$ggen conditions. Condensation of aldehyde 14 with Wittig reagent [(diethoxyphosphinyl)methylidene] triphenylphosphorane gave the desired nucleoside phosphonate analogues 15. Ammonolysis and hydrolysis of phosphonates gave the nucleoside phosphonic acid analogue 17 and 19. The synthesized nucleoside analogues were subjected to antiviral screening against HIV-1. The adenine analogue 19 exhibited weak in vitro activities against HIV-1.

A novel 2',4'-dimethyl carbocyclic adenosine 5'-phosphonic acid analogue (20) was prepared using acyclic stereoselective route from commercially available 4-hydroxybutan-2-one (4). To improve cellular permeability and enhance the anti-HCV activity of this phosphonic acid, a 3',5'-cyclic SATE phosphonodiester nucleoside prodrug (22) was prepared. The synthesized phosphonic nucleoside analogues, (20) and (22), were assayed for their ability to inhibit HCV RNA replication in a subgenomic replicon Huh7 cell line.

Novel 4'-ethyl-5'-norcarbocyclic adenosine phosphonic acid analogues were synthesized from propionaldehyde 5 through a de novo acyclic synthetic route using reiterative Grignard additions and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) as key reactions.

Steric and electronic parameters of 4'-substituents play significant roles in steering the conformation of nucleoside analogues. In order to investigate the relationship of 4'-group with antiviral enhancement, novel 4'-hydroxymethyl-5'-norcarbocyclic adenosine phosphonic acid analogues were designed and synthesized from 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-ethanol (5) using reiterative Grignard addition and ring-closing metathesis (RCM) as key reactions. The synthesized adenosine phosphonic acids analogues (22) and (23) were subjected to antiviral screening against HIV-1. Compound (23) exhibited moderate anti-HIV activity ($EC_50$ = 8.61 ${\mu}M$) in the CEM cell line.
