Bitriazolyl acyclonucleosides synthesized via Huisgen reaction using internal alkynes show antiviral activity against tobacco mosaic virus
摘要:
A family of novel bitriazolyl acyclonucleosides were synthesized using a simple and convenient one-step synthetic procedure via the Huisgen reaction by addition of NaN3 onto triazole nucleosides bearing internal alkynyl groups introduced at the 5-position of the triazole ring. Some of the compounds exhibited interesting antiviral activity against tobacco mosaic virus, demonstrating the importance of the bitriazolyl motif for the observed antiviral activity.

A novel arylethynyltriazole acyclonucleoside inhibits proliferation of drug-resistant pancreatic cancer cells
摘要:
Novel arylethynyltriazole acyclonucleosides were synthesized and assessed for their anticancer activity on drug-resistant pancreatic cancer MiaPaCa-2 cells. One lead compound was found to have much more potent apoptosis-related antiproliferative effects than gemcitabine, the current first-line treatment for pancreatic cancer. Further investigations showed that this active compound did not inhibit DNA synthesis, which means that it does not resemble gemcitabine and may involve a different mechanism of action.
