Novel anomeric branched carbocyclic nucleosides were synthesized from 1,3-dihydroxy acetone. 4'-Hydroxymethyl was installed by [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement reaction and 1'-methyl group was introduced by carbonyl addition of methylmagnesium bromide. The coupling of nucleosidic bases and desilylation afforded a series of novel nucleosides. The synthesized compounds $16{\~}19$ were evaluated for their antiviral activity against HIV-1, HSV-1, HSV-2, and EMCV. Compounds 16 and 19 exhibit toxicity non-related to any anti-HIV-1 activity.

Synthesis of novel 9-fluoroanthracyclines carrying L-fucose as a sugar component is described. Compound 3 containing a fluorine at the C-9 position was synthesized from an epoxide 2 and HF/Pyr (7 : 3). Bromination and hydrolysis of compound 3 resulted in synthesis of an aglycone, 9-fluoroanthracyclinone 6. The α-(1b) and β -anomers (1a) of the final product were obtained in high yields by a coupling reaction with the L-fucose.

Seven cali[4]arenes, having two different substituents in AAAB or AABB pattern at the upper rim of calix were synthesized by fragmentation condensation reaction of p-substituted phenol trimer (AAA) with 2,6-bishydroxymethylated 4-substituted phenol (B) or that of dimer (AA) with 2,2'-bishydroxymethylated dimer (BB). An equimolar mixture of the coupling components (trimer and monomer or dimer and dimer) was refluxed in dioxane in the presence of TiCl4to afford calix[4]arene 6 and 7 in 15-38% yield. The structure of calix[4]arenes was confirmed by elemental analysis and the 1H/13C NMR spectroscopy.

New cyclophanes having multilactam linkages were synthesized and characterized. One-pot coupling reaction of 2,6-pyridinedicarbonyl dichloride and a diamine gave a tetralactam, a hexalactam, and a octalactam in good yields. The TLC behaviour, the molecular symmetry shown by 1H NMR spectrum, and the fragmentation patterns shown by FAB mass spectrum of the octalactam support its monocyclic structure.

Galactosyl ceramides paly important roles in biological system as immunomodulator and essential constituents of membranes and cell walls. An efficient synthesis of $\alpha$-galactosyl ceramide, KRN 7000, derived from marine sponge Agelas mauritianus as accomplished via a short reaction involving the coupling ceramide moiety and trichloroacetimidate as glycosylation donor. We could synthesize $\alpha$-galactosyl ceramide stereoselectivity without $\beta$-anomer formation on a multigram scale.

PPARs (peroxisome proliferator activated receptors) are member of nuclear hormone receptors superfamily. Activations of PPARs upon binding with ligands modulate glucose metabolite, differentiation of adipocyte, inflammation response, and so on. Thiazolidinedione analog is one of the potential antidiabetic drug that binds and activates PPAR selectively and enhances insulin sensitivity. In an effort to develop novel and effective antidiabetic thiazolidindione analogs, we have synthesized tetrahydroquinoline and para-substituted benzene-linked thiazolidinedione analogs by coupling reaction of the hydrophobic segments with hydroxybenzylthiazolidinedione.
