Journal ArticleDOI

Potential anti-AIDS drugs. 2',3'-Dideoxycytidine analogues.

TL;DR: An attempt was made to utilize ddCMP, ddTMP, and ddAMP as preformed nucleotides in order to circumvent the generally low level of phosphorylation achieved with dideoxynucleosides which function as relatively poor substrates for the cellular kinases.
Journal ArticleDOI

2′-deoxy-4′-C-ethynyl-2-fluoroadenosine: A nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor with highly potent activity against wide spectrum of HIV-1 strains, favorable toxic profiles, and stability in plasma

TL;DR: The study based on the hypotheses proved the validity of the hypotheses and resulted in the development of 2′-deoxy-4′-C-ethynyl-2-fluoroadenosine, a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, with highly potent activity against all HIV-1, very favorable toxic profiles, and stability in plasma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemistry and anti-HIV properties of 2'-fluoro-2',3'-dideoxyarabinofuranosylpyrimidines.

TL;DR: 2'-Fluoro substitution confers increased chemical and enzymatic stability on dideoxynucleosides and gives complete protection against the cytopathic effects of HIV in both host cell lines.
