Here we report the synthesis and biological activity of new 5′-norcarbocyclic derivatives of bicyclic pyrrolo- and furano[2,3-d]pyrimidines with different substituents in the heterocyclic ring. Lead compound 3i, containing 6-pentylphenyl substi...

Pyrimidine nucleoside analogues are widely used to treat infections caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and DNA viruses from the herpes family. It has been shown that 5-substituted uracil derivatives can inhibit HIV-1, herpes family viru...

Carbocyclic nucleoside analogues are an essential class of antiviral agents and are commonly used in the treatment of viral diseases (hepatitis B, AIDS). Recently, we reported the racemic synthesis and the anti-human immunodeficiency virus activities...

A series of novel 5′-norcarbocyclic derivatives of 5-alkoxymethyl or 5-alkyltriazolyl-methyl uracil were synthesized and the activity of the compounds evaluated against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The growth of Mycobacterium...

The life cycle of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 includes several steps that are supposedly mediated by liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) of the viral nucleocapsid protein (N) and genomic RNA. To facilitate the rational des...

Carbocyclic nucleosides have long played a role in antiviral, antiparasitic, and antibacterial therapies. Recent results from our laboratories from two structurally related scaffolds have shown promising activity against both Mycobacterium tuberculos...

The mechanisms of action of pyrimidine nucleoside derivatives on model lipid membranes of various compositions were studied. A systematic analysis of the tested agents’ effects on the membrane physicochemical properties was performed. Different...

A variety of ribo-, 2′-deoxyribo-, and 5′-norcarbocyclic derivatives of the 8-aza-7-deazahypoxanthine fleximer scaffolds were designed, synthesized, and screened for antibacterial activity. Both chemical and chemoenzymatic methods of synt...
