ChemInform Abstract

The effects of combining the structural feature of the oxygen containing sugar of (-)-L-β-1,3-dioxolanyl cytosine with various bases of active azanucleosides are investigated. A novel class of dioxolane azapyrimidine nucleoside analogues is synthesized. Azacytosine derivative (V), having L-configuration, shows significant activity against HBV, whilst the D-configuration analogue reveals potent anti-HIV activity. The 6-azathymine analogues display no activity.
