Disclosed are compounds comprising an azasugar attached to a heterocyclic base, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, suitable for use in inhibiting viral RNA polymerase activity or viral replication, and treating viral infections. The compounds are characterized, in part, by favorable pharmacokinetics for the active pharmaceutical ingredient, particularly in conjunction with enteral administration, including, in particular, oral administration. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more compounds mentioned above, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, as well as methods for preparing same. Also provided are methods for inhibiting viral RNA polymerase activity, viral replication, and treating viral infections.

The aza-C-nucleosides, Immucillin-H and Immucillin-G, are transition state analogue inhibitors of purine nucleoside phosphorylase, a therapeutic target for the control of T-cell proliferation. Immucillin analogues modified at the 2′-, 3′-, or 5′-positions of the azasugar moiety or at the 6-, 7-, or 8-positions of the deazapurine, as well as methylene -bridged analogues, have been synthesized and tested for their inhibition of human purine nucleoside phosphorylase. All analogues were poorer inhibitors, which reflects the superior capture of transition state features in the parent immucillins.
