Disclosed are novel 2'-alkylidenepyrimidine nucleoside derivatives represented by formula [I]: ##STR1## R.sup.1 is an amino group or a hydroxy group, R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a lower alkyl group, R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, and R.sup.4 is a hydrogen atom or a phosphate residue, or salts thereof. These novel compounds can be produced from uridine or cytidine derivatives by alkylidenating the 2'-position in the sugar moiety thereof with Wittig's reagent. Furthermore, the compounds have remarkable antiviral activities and therefore can provide novel antiviral agents.
本发明涉及一种新型2'-烷基亚
嘧啶核苷衍
生物,其
化学式表示为[I]:##STR1##其中R.sup.1是
氨基或羟基,R.sup.2是氢原子、卤原子或低碳基,R.sup.3是氢原子或低碳基,R.sup.4是氢原子或
磷酸盐残基或其盐。这些新化合物可以通过使用Wittig试剂烷基化糖基中的2'-位点,从
脲苷或
胞苷衍
生物中制备而来。此外,这些化合物具有显著的抗病毒活性,因此可以提供新的抗病毒药物。
