Abstract
A series of 4'-[1,2,3]triazole-2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-β-d-arabinofuranosylcytosines (9-17) were prepared by Cu(I)-mediated [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions (CuAAC) of 1-(4'-azido-2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-β-d-arabinofuranosyl)cytosine (1) with appropriate alkynes in good yields. Their structures were fully established by (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, HRMS, and elemental analysis. Most of these nucleoside analogs exhibited potent anti-HIV-1 activity with no cytotoxicity observed at the highest tested concentration up to 25 μM. Among them, compounds 9, 10 and 13 exhibited extremely potent antiviral activity, thus had a great potential for further development as novel nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Besides, the anti-HBV activity of compounds 10, 11 and 17 had been investigated.
