Novel 2-amino substituted adenine compounds and their use as antiviral compounds are disclosed. In particular the compound 2-amino-9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl) adenine is particularly advantageous as an antiviral in that it has high oral absorption and that upon metabolism in mammals, it has the property of being converted to 9-(2-hydroxyethoxymethyl) guanine which is also a highly active antiviral.
本发明揭示了新型2-
氨基取代
腺嘌呤化合物及其作为抗病毒化合物的用途。特别是化合物2-
氨基-9-(2-羟乙氧甲基)
腺嘌呤具有高口服吸收性能,在哺乳动物体内代谢后,具有被转化为9-(2-羟乙氧甲基)
鸟嘌呤的性质,后者同样是一种高度活跃的抗病毒化合物,因此该化合物在抗病毒方面具有特别的优势。
