Several potent anti-herpes virus nucleosides, 2'fluoro-2'-deoxyarabinofuranosyl pyrimidine nucleosides, were prepared in good yields by a new condensation method using sodium iodide and a new solvent system, and FMAU could be also prepared directly from thymine by this method.

The DNA nucleosides(dA, dC, dG, dT)bound to gold nanoparticles (~13 nm) in aqueous solution has been studied as a probe by the SERS and their coordination structures have been proposed on the basis of them. According to UV-Visible absorption of gold nanoparticles after modifying with DNA nucleosides, the rates of absorption of dA, dC, and dG were much faster than that of dT as monitored by the aggregation kinetics at 700 nm. These data indicated that the nucleosides dA, dC, and dG had a higher affinity for the gold nanoparticles surface than nucleoside dT. As the result of SERS spectra, the binding modes of each of the nucleosides on gold nanoparticles have been assigned. A dA binds to gold nanoparticles via a N(7) nitrogen atom of the imidazole ring, which the C(6)-$NH_2$ group also participates in the coordination process. In the case of dC, it binds to the gold surface via a N(3) nitrogen atom of the pyrimidine ring with a partial contribution from the oxygen of C(2)=O group. A coordination of dG to the gold surfaces is also proposed. Although the dG has the two different nitrogens of a pyrimidine ring and the amino group, the N(1) nitrogen atom of a pyrimidine ring has a higher affinity after the hydrogen migrates to the amino group. Conversely, dT binds via the oxygen of the C(4)=O group of the pyrimidine ring. Accordingly, these data suggest that the nitrogen atom of the imidazole or the pyrimidine ring in the DNA nucleosides will bind more fast to the gold nanoparticles surfaces than the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group.

Eight new D-1.3-dioxolanyl and L-1,3-oxathiolanyl nucleosides containing 5-phenyl- selenyl pyrimidine bases which are expected to have antiviral activity were synthesized. Condensation of D-1,3-dioxolane acetate and L-1,3-oxathiolane acetate with 5-phenylselenyl pyrimidines gave anomeric mixtures of their nucleosides which were separated by silicagel column chromatography.

A series of novel exomethylene cyclopropyl nucleosides have been synthesized starting from Feist's acid. Classical nucleophilic substitution conditions ($K_2CO_3$, 18-crown-6) of the tosylate 2 as well as Mitsunobu reaction (DEAD, $PPh_3$) of alcohol 1 with pyrimidine bases afforded a series of novel cyclopropyl nucleosides. Compound 4b displayed moderate anti-HBV activity without any cytotoxicity up to $100{\;}{\mu}M$.

Two kinds of nucleoside hydrolases (NHs) encoded by rih1 and rih2 were cloned from Corynebacterium ammoniagenes using deoD- and gsk-defective Escherichia coli. Sequence analysis revealed that NH 1 was a protein of 337 aa with a deduced molecular mass of 35,892 Da, whereas NH 2 consisted of 308 aa with a calculated molecular mass of 32,310 Da. Experiments with crude extracts of IPTG-induced E. coli CGSC 6885(pTNU23) and 6885(pTNI12) indicated that the Rihl enzyme could catalyse the hydrolysis of uridine and cytidine and showed pyrimidine-specific ribonucleoside hydrolase activity. Rih2 was able to hydrolyse both purine and pyrimidine ribonucleosides with the following order of activity-inosine>adenosine>uridine>guanosine>xanthosine>cytidine-and was classified in the non-specific NHs family. rih1 and rih2 deletion mutants displayed a decrease in cell growth on minimal medium supplemented with pyrimidine and purine/pyrimidine nucleosides, respectively, compared with the wild-type strain. Growth of each mutant was substantially complemented by introducing rih1 and rih2, respectively. Furthermore, disruption of both rih1 and rih2 led to the inability of the mutant to utilize purine and pyrimidine nucleosides as sole carbon source on minimal medium. These results indicated that rih1 and rih2 play major roles in the salvage pathways of nucleosides in this micro-organism.

Pyrimidine bases and their mucleosides were oxidatively iodinated at C-5 position by the reaction of iodine in DMF (dimethylformamide) with MCPBA (m-chloroperbenzoic acid) under mild conditions. For uracil derivatives such as uracil 1a. 1, 3-dimethyluracil 1b, uridine 1c, and 2'-deoxyuridine 1d, the corresponding 5-iodo derivatives were obtained in high yields (71-95%). The iodination of cytidine 3a and 2'-deoxycytidine 3b was achieved in moderate yields (41-56%).

We synthesized D-1,3-dioxolanyl acetate from D-mannose using Frazer-Reide reaction and D-1,3-oxathiolanyl acetate from either D-mannose or D-galactose in good yields. These acetates were conjugated with various disilylated pyrimidine base using trimethylsilyl trifluoromethane sulfonate as a Lewis acid catalyst to obtain 32 different D-nucleosides.

In a continuation of our studies to discover bioactive secondary metabolites from marine sources, we further investigated samples from a tryptamine and phenyl-alkane producing sponge, which resulted in the isolation of four uncommon small molecules and five nucleosides. Their structures were determined to be 7,8-dihydroimidazo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-5(6H)-one (1), 5-chlorocavernicolin (2), maleimide-5-oxime (3), 3-methylmaleimide-5-oxime (4), uridine (5), 2'-deoxyuridine (6), thymidine (7), adenine (8), and adenosine (9) by spectroscopic analyses. The isolated compounds were evaluated for inhibitory activity against soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) as well as the Wnt/${\beta}$-catenine signaling pathway.

Degradation of deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA) and ribonucleic acid(RNA) by cell-free extract of mixed rumen protozoa of buffalo rumen was investigated. DNA was observed to be degraded rapidly during an initial incubation period of 2 hr with simultaneous appearance of degradation products. RNA on the other hand recorded a rapid degradation during an initial incubation period of 1 hr. RNA degradation products appeared upto an incubation period of 2 hr. DNA was observed to degrade into oligo- and mononucleotides. pyrimidine nucleosides, purine nucleoside adenosine and bases xanthine, hypoxanthine and thymine. Degradation products of RNA comprised of pyrimidine nucleosides, purine nucleoside, adenosine and bases xanthine, hypoxanthine and uracil besides oligo- and mononucleotides.

The synthesis of 4',5'-doubly branched carbocyclic nucleosides was accomplished in this study. The selective methylation in the 5'-position was made by Felkin-Anh controlled Grignard addition. The construction of the required 4'-quaternary carbon was carried out by using a [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. Bis-vinyl 6 was successfully cyclized using a Grubbs' catalyst II. The natural pyrimidine bases (cytosine, uracil, thymine) were efficiently coupled using a Pd(0) catalyst. When the synthesized compounds were examined for their activity against several viruses such as the HIV-1, HSV-1, HSV-2 and HCMV, the cytosine analogue 13 exhibited weak antiviral activity against the HCMV.
