Unique Purine Nucleosides with Broad-Spectrum RNA Antiviral Potential

Abstract

This project is concerned with the biochemically-based rational design, synthesis, purification, complete spectral characterization, and antiviral evaluation of some unique adenine and hypoxanthine deoxynucleosides. A total of seven compounds were produced through complex multi-step syntheses and submitted for antiviral evaluation. The work at present is right on schedule and in complete accordance with the contract agreement. Based on previous results from our laboratory, information on the exotic ribonucleic acid viruses and their key enzymes, rational design, and the current status of antiviral research in this and related areas, this project has a very high probability of producing antivirally active compounds of relevance and importance to the drug development program of the USAMRDC.
