- METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR TREATING HEPATITIS C VIRUS
-
The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of a hepatitis C infection in a host, comprising an antivirally effective amount of a 2'-C-branched nucleoside or a 2'-C-branched ribofuranosyl nucleoside, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or esters thereof, in combination with one or more other anti-HCV agent. The present invention further provides the use of a 2'-C-branched nucleoside or a 2'-C-branched ribofuranosyl nucleoside, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or esters thereof, in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a hepatitis C infection in a host.

- 2′-C-alkylribonucleosides: Design, synthesis, and conformation
-
Certain 2′-C-alkylribonucleotides have been designed as potential mechanism-based inactivators of ribonucleotide reductases. A short, flexible route toward the corresponding nucleosides and NMR evidence concerning their preferred solution conformations are discussed. Copyright

- A short, flexible route toward 2'-C-branched ribonucleosides
-
A five-step synthesis of 2'-C-branched ribonucleosides from commercially obtained 1,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-α-D-ribofuranose (4) is described. The free hydroxyl group of 4 was oxidized in high yield with Dess-Martin periodane reagent. The resultant 2-ketosugar was treated with MeMgBr/TiCl4, CH2=CHMgBr/CeCl3, or TMSC≡CLi/CeCl3, and in each case addition to the ketone proceeded stereoselectively to provide 2-alkylated ribofuranosides. After conversion to the corresponding tetrabenzoyl derivatives, the 2-alkylribofuranosides were coupled to nucleobases under Vorbruggen persilylation conditions, giving the β-nucleosides with high stereoselectivity. Deprotection with methanolic ammonia provided the title compounds in 17-49% overall yields from 4.
