Abstract
Influenza viruses belong to the Orthomyxoviridae family and cause acute respiratory distress in humans. The developed drug resistance toward existing drugs and the emergence of viral mutants that can escape vaccines mandate the search for novel antiviral drugs. Herein, the synthesis of epimeric 4'-methyl-4'-phosphonomethoxy [4'-C-Me-4'-C-(O-CH2 P═O)] pyrimidine ribonucleosides, their phosphonothioate [4'-C-Me-4'-C-(O-CH2 P═S)] derivatives, and their evaluation against an RNA viral panel are described. Selective formation of the α- l-lyxo epimer, [4'-C-(α)-Me-4'-C-(β)-(O-CH2 -P(═O)(OEt)2 )] over the β- d-ribo epimer [4'-C-(β)-Me-4'-C-(α)-(O-CH2 -P(═O)(OEt)2 )] was explained by DFT equilibrium geometry optimizations studies. Pyrimidine nucleosides having the [4'-C-(α)-Me-4'-C-(β)-(O-CH2 -P(═O)(OEt)2 )] framework showed specific activity against influenza A virus. Significant anti-influenza virus A (H1N1 California/07/2009 isolate) was observed with the 4'-C-(α)-Me-4'-C-(β)-O-CH2 -P(═O)(OEt)2 -uridine derivative 1 (EC50 = 4.56 mM, SI50 > 56), 4-ethoxy-2-oxo-1(2H)-pyrimidin-1-yl derivative 3 (EC50 = 5.44 mM, SI50 > 43) and the cytidine derivative 2 (EC50 = 0.81 mM, SI50 > 13), respectively. The corresponding thiophosphonates 4'-C-(α)-Me-4'-C-(β)-(O-CH2 -P( S)(OEt)2 ) and thionopyrimidine nucleosides were devoid of any antiviral activity. This study shows that the 4'-C-(α)-Me-4'-(β)-O-CH2 -P(═O)(OEt)2 ribonucleoside can be further optimized to provide potent antiviral agents.

Abstract
2′-Deoxynucleoside conjugates of 13α-estrone were synthesized by applying the copper-catalyzed alkyne–azide click reaction (CuAAC). For the introduction of the azido group the 5′-position of the nucleosides and a propargyl ether functional group on the 3-hydroxy group of 13α-estrone were chosen. The best yields were realized in our hands when the 3′-hydroxy groups of the nucleosides were protected by acetyl groups and the 5′-hydroxy groups were modified by the tosyl–azide exchange method. The commonly used conditions for click reaction between the protected-5′-azidonucleosides and the steroid alkyne was slightly modified by using 1.5 equivalent of Cu(I) catalyst. All the prepared conjugates were evaluated in vitro by means of MTT assays for antiproliferative activity against a panel of human adherent cell lines (HeLa, MCF-7 and A2780) and the potential inhibitory activity of the new conjugates on human 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (17β-HSD1) was investigated via in vitro radiosubstrate incubation. Some protected conjugates displayed moderate antiproliferative properties against a panel of human adherent cancer cell lines (the protected cytidine conjugate proved to be the most potent with IC50 value of 9 μM). The thymidine conjugate displayed considerable 17β-HSD1 inhibitory activity (IC50 = 19 μM).

Abstract
4'-Alkoxy-oligothymidylates were prepared as model compounds to study the influence of a C4'-alkoxy group on hybridisation. The phosphodiester homooligomers (15 units long) containing either a 4'-methoxy or 4'-(2-methoxyethoxy) group were found to display increased hybridisation with both dA(15) and rA(15) complementary counterparts compared to the natural oligothymidylate. In addition, we found their hybridisation behaviour to be similar to that of the regioisomeric 2'-O-methyl-oligothymidylate. The formed complexes (duplexes and triplexes) were studied using UV spectroscopy and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Structural background of the hybridization behaviour was examined using NMR and MDS. The favourable hybridisation properties of the 4'-alkoxyoligothymidylates indicated that 4'-alkoxy modified nucleotides are promising compounds for the assembly of chimeric oligonucleotides with tunable properties.

Abstract
New isoelectronic, non-isosteric phosphonate analogues of nucleoside 5′-phosphates featuring the phosphorus moiety directly attached on the sugar ring in the C4′ position are described. The analogues were synthesised by a nucleosidation reaction from tetrofuranosyl phosphonate synthons and silylated nucleobases. The pyrimidine compounds with erythro and threo configuration in both D- and L-series were prepared, and the structures were assigned by NMR spectroscopy. The results of NMR conformational studies show that all calculated conformers have a maximum pucker in the range typical for nucleosides. In all compounds, the S-type conformer is preferred and is more significant in α-D-threo-compounds. Studies on inhibition of thymidine phosphorylase revealed that one of the prepared phosphonic acids was a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme (Ki = 4 μM).

Abstract
The synthesis of the novel nucleotide analogues 5'-deoxynucleoside-5'-S-methylphosphonates, starting from 5'-deoxy-5'-haloribonucleosides, 5'-O-tosylribonucleosides, and 2'-O-triflylnucleosides, is described. The phosphonothiolation of these compounds was achieved using S-(diisopropylphosphonomethyl)isothiouronium tosylate, a new, odourless, and efficient equivalent of mercaptomethylphosphonate. The thiolate anion of mercaptomethylphosphonate was generated in situ from the isothiouronium salt in both protic and aprotic solvents using two equivalents of sodium iso-propoxide. The prepared nucleoside 5'-S-methylphosphonates were deprotected, and the free phosphonic acids were transformed into diphosphoryl derivatives (the NTP analogues). Both mononucleotides and NTP analogues were studied as substrates/inhibitors of several enzymes that are involved in the nucleoside/nucleotide metabolism.

Abstract
In an attempt to prepare a library of short oligoadenylate analogues featuring both the enzyme-stable internucleotide linkage and the 5'-O-methylphosphonate moiety and thus obtain a pool of potential RNase L agonists/antagonists, we studied the spontaneous polycondensation of the adenosin-5'-O-ylmethylphosphonic acid (p(c)A), an isopolar AMP analogue, and its imidazolide derivatives employing N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide under nonaqueous conditions and uranyl ions under aqueous conditions, respectively. The RP LC-MS analyses of the reaction mixtures per se, and those obtained after the periodate treatment, along with analyses and separations by capillary zone electrophoresis, allowed us to characterize major linear and cyclic oligoadenylates obtained. The structure of selected compounds was supported, after their isolation, by NMR spectroscopy. Ab initio calculation of the model structures simulating the AMP-imidazolide and p(c)A-imidazolide offered the explanation why the latter compound exerted, in contrast to AMP-imidazolide, a very low stability in aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Modified internucleotide linkage featuring the C3'-O-P-CH(2)-O-C4'' phosphonate grouping as an isosteric alternative to the phosphodiester C3'-O-P-O-CH(2)-C4'' bond was studied in order to learn more on its stereochemical arrangement, which we showed earlier to be of prime importance for the properties of the respective oligonucleotide analogues. Two approaches were pursued: First, the attempt to prepare the model dinucleoside phosphonate with (13)C-labeled CH(2) group present in the modified internucleotide linkage that would allow for a more detailed evaluation of the linkage conformation by NMR spectroscopy. Second, the use of ab initio calculations along with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in order to observe the most populated conformations and specify main structural elements governing the conformational preferences. To deal with the former aim, a novel synthesis of key labeled reagent (CH(3)O)(2)P(O)(13)CH(2)OH for dimer preparation had to be elaborated using aqueous (13)C-formaldehyde. The results from both approaches were compared and found consistent.
