Novel C-nucleosides as selective binders of prokaryotic ribosomal A-site RNA and promising scaffolds for therapeutic RNA targeting.
Using C-furanosides as chiral precursors of (Z,E) 1,3-dienes has permitted the synthesis of two leukotriene B4 analogues: 3-thia-LTB4 and 3-thia-20,20,20-trifluoro-LTB4.
