Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2011 Jan 1;21(1):574-6. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2010.10.054. Epub 2010 Oct 19.

Abstract

Novel pseudonucleosides with benzylamino group on 5'-position (4) were synthesized by using the microwave-assisted one-pot tandem Staudinger/aza-Wittig/reduction reaction in good yields of 55.2-71.7%. The deacetylation of 4 afforded compounds 5. HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitory and antitumor activities were preliminarily evaluated with 5. The results showed that the new pseudonucleosides (5) could effectively inhibit HIV-1 RT activity, but no antitumor activity.
