First synthesis of double headed 1,3,4-oxadiazino[6,5-b]indole acyclo C-nucleosides

Synthesis, conformational analysis and antimicrobial activity of 10-benzyl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]1,2,4-triazino[5,6-b]indole acyclo C-nucleoside analogs

Condensation of 5-benzyl-3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazino[5,6-b]indole with various sugar aldoses or ketoses gave the corresponding sugar hydrazones as single geometrical isomer or exist in E/Z tautomeric isomers. The hydrazones underwent heterocyclization with Fe(Ш)Cl3 to give the N2-adduct acyclo C-nucleosides: 3-(alditol-1yl)-10-benzyl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]1,2,4-triazino[5,6-b]indoles rather than the N4-adduct: 10-(alditol-1-yl)-3-benzyl-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-c]1,2,4-triazino[5,6-b] indoles on the basis of chemical and UV spectral proofs. Conformational analysis of their polyacetates were studied. The new acyclo C-nucleosides were evaluated for antimicrobial activity.

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of 1,3,4-Oxadiazoline, 1,3-Thiazolidine, and 1,2,4-Triazoline Double-Tailed Acyclo C-Nucleosides

The condensation products of terphthaloyl bishydrazide with two equivalents of various monosaccharide aldoses were found to have a bis(sugarhydrazone) form or bis-glycosylhydrazide structure or coexist in tautomeric equilibrium depending on the sugar configuration. The condensation products were substantially utilized as 3-acetyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoline, 1,3-thiazolidine, and 4-amino-1,2,4-triazoline double-tailed acyclo C-nucleosides synthons. The preliminary antimicrobial activities of representative examples of the prepared compounds were evaluated.

Double-headed nucleosides: Synthesis and applications

Double-headed nucleoside monomers have immense applications for studying secondary nucleic acid structures. They are also well-known as antimicrobial agents. This review article accounts for the synthetic methodologies and the biological applications of double-headed nucleosides.

Synthesis and antiviral activities of new acyclic and "double-headed" nucleoside analogues

To develop an understanding of the structure-activity relationships for the inhibition of orthopoxviruses by nucleoside analogues, a variety of novel chemical entities were synthesized. These included a series of pyrimidine 5-hypermodified acyclic nucleoside analogues based upon recently discovered new leads, and some previously unknown "double-headed" or "abbreviated" nucleosides. None of the synthetic products possessed significant activity against two representative orthopoxviruses; namely, vaccinia virus and cowpox virus. They were also devoid of significant activity against a battery of other DNA and RNA viruses. So far as the results with the orthopoxviruses and herpes viruses, the results may point to the necessity for nucleoside analogues 5'-phosphorylation for antiviral efficacy.
