This work describes the application of thermophilic microorganisms for obtaining 6-halogenated purine nucleosides. Biosynthesis of 6-chloropurine-2'-deoxyriboside and 6-chloropurine riboside was achieved by Geobacillus stearothermophilus CECT 43 with a conversion of 90% and 68%, respectively. Furthermore, the selected microorganism was satisfactorily
A new method to introduce a benzyl group onto the 2'-OH of purine ribonucleoside is described. Thus, 6-chloropurine 3'-O-benzoylriboside and its 5'-O-trityl congener were condensed with benzyl alcohol using the Mitsunobu reaction to give the 2'-O-benzyl derivative. The yields were

On the basis of our previous study on antiviral agents against the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus, a series of nucleoside analogues whose 5'-hydroxyl groups are masked by various protective groups such as carboxylate, sulfonate, and ether were synthesized
