The synthesis of a series of purine analogues of the acyclonucleoside compound A* (A-Star, 1) is described. Compounds in this series have been shown to have pronounced activity against herpesviruses. These compounds have been designated "the glycerosides". The glyceropurines are described in this report. Nucleotides have been constructed containing glyceroadenine (A*, compound 1). These nucleotides are resistant to degradation by phosphodiesterases. The compound A* is both a poor substrate and a poor inhibitor of adenosine deaminase.
描述了一系列嘌呤类似物A*(A-Star,1)的无环核苷化合物的合成。该系列化合物已被证明对疱疹病毒具有显著的活性。这些化合物被命名为“甘油苷”。本报告描述了甘油嘌呤。已构建含有甘油腺嘌呤(A*,化合物1)的核苷酸,这些核苷酸对磷酸二酯酶的降解具有抵抗性。化合物A*既是腺苷脱氨酶的劣质底物,也是劣质抑制剂。
