Abstract

In an effort to search for the chemically and enzymatically stable carbonucleoside. we designed [1'-fluoro-2', 2'-bis-(hydroxymethyl) cyclopropyl methyl] purines. The underlying concept for our design is to seek relatively conformationally-locked compound with minimal structural disturbance from acyclic carbonucleoside such as acyclovir or penciclovir. To meet such a requirement. we need to introduce cyclopropane and fluorine moiety. (omitted)
