A series of 9-(2'-beta-C-methyl-p-D-ribofuranosyl)-6-substituted purine derivatives were synthesized as potential inhibitors of HCV RNA replication. Their inhibitory activities in a cell based HCV replicon assay were reported. A prodrug approach was used to further improve the potency of these compounds by increasing the intracellular levels of 5'-monophosphate metabolites. These nucleotide prodrugs showed much improved inhibitory activities of HCV RNA replication. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
