Synthesis and Anti-Viral Activity of Novel 3,6-dioxa-[3.2.0]bicyclonucleoside Nucleotide Analogs Open Access

Abstract

This study involves the design and synthesis of novel 3,6-dioxa-[3,2,0]bicyclonucleoside analogs as potential hepatitis C virus RNA-dependant RNA polymerase inhibitors. Both enantiomers of thymidine, 5-Fluorocytidine, cytidine, 6-Methoxypuridine and adenosine analogs were synthesized respectively. A convergent strategy was employed in the synthesis. The sugar moieties were synthesized from a chiral source, including carbohydrates and amino acid and coupled with various nucleoside bases though Vorbrüggen reactions. An intramolecular SN2 reaction completed the synthesis. The bicyclic nucleoside analogs were tested in HCV replicon assay in Huh 7 Clone B cells for anti-HCV activity. Triphosphates of some chosen analogs were also synthesized for biological testing in order to exclude overlooking any potent inhibitor because of a poor phosphorylation step. The triphosphate compounds were tested in HCV RdRp enzymatic assay.
