Abstract

S-Adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (SAH) catalyzes the hydrolysis of S-adenosylhomocysteine to adenosine and L-homocysteine and has been an attractive target for the development of broad spectrum antiviral agents. Based on the potent inhibitory activity of neplanocin A against SAH, we have reported the synthesis and novel mechanism of action of fluoro-neplanocin A. (omitted)
