Abstract

routes to these compounds and several base-modified analogues are presented. The effects of such side-chain alterations and base variations on enzymatic phosphorylation, DNA polymerase inhibition, and inhibition of HSV-1 and HSV-2 replication in cell culture are discussed. Subsequent to the completion of this work, recent reports from other laboratories have described several of the olefinic and acetylenic analogues. 1" 22
