A practical, efficient synthesis of 1, a hepatitis C virus RNA replication inhibitor, is described, which features a novel stereoselective rearrangement to prepare the key crystalline furanose diol intermediate.
Abstract
A practical, efficient synthesis of 1, a hepatitis C virus RNA replication inhibitor, is described. Starting with the inexpensive diacetone glucose, the 12-step synthesis features a novel stereoselective rearrangement to prepare the key crystalline furanose diol intermediate. This is followed by a highly selective glycosidation to couple the C-2 branched furanose epoxide with deazapurine.

2-branched nucleosides and flaviviridae mutation

TL;DR: A method for the treatment of Flaviviridae infection that includes the administration of a 2-branched nucleoside, or a pharmaceutically acceptable prodrug and/or salt thereof, to a human in need of therapy in combination or alternation with a drug that directly or indirectly induces a mutation in the viral genome at a location other than a mutation of a nucleotide that results in a change from serine to a different amino acid in the highly conserved consensus sequence, XRXSGXXXT, or is associated with such a mutation as discussed by the authors

Vaccines to prevent viral hepatitis

TL;DR: At least five different viruses cause hepatitis in humans, and two — hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis E virus (HEV) — are nonenveloped RNA viruses that are spread predominantly by fecal–oral transmission and cause acute self-limited disease.
