This invention pertains to nucleoside analogs which have antiviral activity and improved metabolic stability. More specifically, this invention pertains to modified sugar benzimidazole nucleosides, as exemplified by compounds such as benzimidazole nucleosides possessing a fluorinated sugar-like moiety (for example, a 2'-fluoro-furanosyl moiety or a 3'-fluoro-furanosyl moiety), and may be represented by the following formula, ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is a fluorinated sugar-like moiety; and R.sup.2, R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are benzimidazole substituents, such as --H, halogens (e.g., --F, --Cl, --Br, --I), --NO.sub.2, --NR.sub.2 (where R is independently --H or an alkyl group having 1-6 carbon atoms), --OR (where R is --H or an alkyl group having 1-6 carbon atoms), --SR (where R is --H or a hydrocarbyl of 1-10 carbon atoms), and --CF.sub.3. In one embodiment, R.sup.1 is 2'-fluoro-furanosyl or 3'-fluoro-furanosyl; R.sup.2 is --H, --F, --Cl, --Br, --I, or --NR.sub.2, wherein R is independently --H or an alkyl group having 1-6 carbon atoms; R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6 and R.sup.7 are independently --H, --F, --Cl, --Br, or --I.
这项发明涉及具有抗病毒活性和改进的代谢稳定性的核苷类似物。更具体地说,这项发明涉及经改造的糖苯并咪唑核苷,例如具有类似于氟代糖的基团(例如,2'-氟基呋喃糖基团或3'-氟基呋喃糖基团)的苯并咪唑核苷,可以用以下公式表示,其中R.sup.1是类似于氟代糖的基团;R.sup.2、R.sup.4、R.sup.5、R.sup.6和R.sup.7是苯并咪唑取代基,例如--H、卤素(例如,--F、--Cl、--Br、--I)、--NO.sub.2、--NR.sub.2(其中R独立地是--H或具有1-6个碳原子的烷基基团)、--OR(其中R是--H或具有1-6个碳原子的烷基基团)、--SR(其中R是--H或具有1-10个碳原子的烃基)、和--CF.sub.3。在一个实施例中,R.sup.1是2'-氟基呋喃糖基团或3'-氟基呋喃糖基团;R.sup.2是--H、--F、--Cl、--Br、--I或--NR.sub.2,其中R独立地是--H或具有1-6个碳原子的烷基基团;R.sup.4、R.sup.5、R.sup.6和R.sup.7独立地是--H、--F、--Cl、--Br或--I。
