Synthesis and evaluation of 5′-modified 2′-deoxyadenosine analogues as anti-hepatitis C virus agents
摘要:
In order to study the effect of 5'-modification of 2'-deoxynucleoside on its anti-HCV activity, several analogues were synthesized and evaluated. Among the analogues, a 5'-deoxy-5'-phenacylated analogue exhibited a good anti-HCV activity with an EC(50) of 15.1 mu M. This compound is expected to operate via a type of mechanism that does not involve a generally known 5'-O-triphosphorylation process. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
