Synthesis of carbocyclic and acyclic nucleosides possessing 2-fluoroadenine derivatives and their inhibitory activities against Plasmodium falciparum SAH hydrolase.
Carbocyclic and acyclic nucleosides possessing 2-fluoroadenine, such as 2-fluoronoraristeromycin (6) and 2-fluoro-9-[(2S,3R)-2,3,4-trihydroxy-butyl-1-yl]adenine (8), were synthesized and their inhibitory activities against human and Plasmodium falciparum recombinant SAH hydrolase were investigated.
