Abstract
Nucleoside analogues play an important role in antiviral, antibacterial and antineoplastic chemotherapy. Herein we report the synthesis, structural characterization and biological activity of some 4′-C-methyl- and -phenyl dioxolane-based nucleosides. In particular, α and β anomers of all natural nucleosides were obtained and characterized by NMR, HR-MS and X-ray crystallography. The compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity against some representative human pathogenic fungi, bacteria and viruses. Antitumor activity was evaluated in a large variety of human cancer cell-lines. Although most of the compounds showed non-significant activity, 23α weakly inhibited HIV-1 multiplication. Moreover, 22α and 32α demonstrated a residual antineoplastic activity, interestingly linked to the unnatural α configuration. These results may provide structural insights for the design of active antiviral and antitumor agents.File | Size | Format | |
