Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2017 Jan 2;36(1):66-82. doi: 10.1080/15257770.2016.1218023. Epub 2016 Oct 19.

Abstract

A novel series of tetrafluoro and hexafluoro acyclic nucleosides and their phosphoramidates were successfully prepared from commercially available 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoro-1,4-butanediol and 2,2,3,3,4,4-hexafluoro-1,5-pentanediol in four to six steps. Their ability to block HIV, HCV, HSV-1, and HBV replication along with their cytotoxicity toward HepG2, human lymphocyte, CEM, and Vero cells was assessed.

Keywords: Fluorine; acyclonucleoside; antiviral agent; phosphoramidates.
