A novel microbial method for the production of 2',3'-dideoxynucleosides by transdideoxyribosylation has been developed. By screening microorganisms producing 2',3'-dideoxyadenosine (DDA) from 2',3'-dideoxyuridine (DDU) and adenine, Escherichia coli AJ 2595 was selected as the best producer. Optimal pH and temperature for

2',3'-Dideoxyuridine (ddUrd) exhibits poor if any anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) activity in ATH8 and MT-4 cells. This is in agreement with the failure of ddUrd to be efficiently anabolized intracellularly to its 5'-triphosphate metabolite. However, 2',3'-dideoxyuridine-5'-triphosphate (ddUTP) proved to be

In this article, we describe the synthesis of 5-nitro-1-(2-deoxy-alpha-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)cytosine (4alpha), 5-nitro-1-(2-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)cytosine (4beta), 5-amino-1-(2-deoxy-alpha-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)cytosine (5alpha), 5-nitro-1-(2-deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)cytosine (5beta), 5-nitro-1-(2,3-dideoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)uracil (6beta), 5-amino-1-(2,3-dideoxy-alpha,beta-D-ribofuranosyl)uracil (7), 5-nitro-1-(2,3-dideoxy-alpha,beta-D-ribofuranosyl)cytosine (8) and 5-amino-1-(2,3-dideoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)cytosine (9beta). The prepared compounds were tested for their activity against HIV and HBV viruses, but they

We report the synthesis of 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxyuridine (d4U) and 2',3'-dideoxyuridine (ddU) phosphoramidate 'ProTide' derivatives and their evaluation against HIV-1 and HIV-2. In addition, we conducted molecular modeling studies on both d4U and ddU monophosphates to investigate their second phosphorylation process. The

As part of our effort to deliver masked phosphates inside living cells we have discovered that certain phosphate triester derivatives of the inactive nucleoside analogue, dideoxy uridine (ddU) are inhibitors of HIV replication at microM levels. Moreover, we note that
