Antiretrovirus activity of a novel class of acyclic pyrimidine nucleoside phosphonates.

Antiviral activities of novel 5-phosphono-pent-2-en-1-yl nucleosides and their alkoxyalkyl phosphonoesters.

Three acyclic nucleoside phosphonates are currently approved for clinical use against infections caused by cytomegalovirus (Vistide), hepatitis B virus (Hepsera), and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (Viread). This important antiviral class inhibits viral polymerases after cellular uptake and conversion to their diphosphates, bypassing the first phosphorylation, which is required for convent...

Novel acyclic nucleoside phosphonate analogues with potent anti-hepatitis B virus activities.

Novel acyclic nucleoside phosphonates with a pyrimidine base preferentially containing an amino group at C-2 and C-4 and a 2-(phosphonomethoxy)ethoxy or (R)-2-(phosphonomethoxy)propoxy group at C-6 selectively inhibit the replication of wild-type and lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B viruses. The activity of the most potent compounds was comparable to that of adefovir.

Inhibition of herpesvirus replication by hexadecyloxypropyl esters of purine- and pyrimidine-based phosphonomethoxyethyl nucleoside phosphonates.

Patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) often suffer from herpesvirus infections as a result of immunosuppression. These infections can occur while patients are receiving antiretroviral therapy, and additional drugs required to treat their infection can adversely affect compliance. It would be useful to have antivirals with a broader spectrum of activity that included both HIV...

Inhibition of Herpesvirus Replication by Hexadecyloxypropyl Esters of Purine and Pyrimidine Based Phosphonomethoxyethyl Nucleoside Phosphonates Running Title: Antiherpes activity of nucleoside phosphonates

Differential antiherpesvirus and antiretrovirus effects of the (S) and (R) enantiomers of acyclic nucleoside phosphonates: potent and selective in vitro and in vivo antiretrovirus activities of (R)-9-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)-2,6-diaminopurine.

The (S)- and (R)-enantiomers of acyclic purine nucleoside phosphonate analogs (i.e., 3-hydroxy-2-phosphonomethoxypropyl [HPMP] derivatives, 3-fluoro-2-phosphonomethoxypropyl [FPMP] derivatives, and 2-phosphonomethoxypropyl [PMP] derivatives of adenine [A], 2-aminopurine, 2,6-diaminopurine [DAP], and guanine [G]) have been synthesized and evaluated for antiviral activity. As a rule, the HPMP der...
