The two chiral spiro nucleosides 4 and 5 containing the barbituric acid moiety were efficiently synthesized from optically pure precursors, and their properties were studied. The carbocyclic nucleoside 5 is considerably more stable against ring opening than the deoxyribosyl derivative 4. Both compounds present enhanced hydrogen bonding capacity with diacetyladenosine.

This is a personal review of my chemistry research on retirement from Teikyo University. Under the guidance of Prof. Masaji Ohno of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, The University of Tokyo, my research career started with the synthesis of water-soluble basic natural compounds, including the first artificial bleomycin showing potent molecular-oxygen activation effects and DNA binding abilities.

As a typical RNA virus, the genetic information on HIV-1 is entirely stored in RNA. The reverse transcription activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) plays a crucial role in the replication and transmission of the virus. Non-nucleoside RT inhibitors (NNRTIs) block the function of RT by binding to the RNA binding site on RT, with very few targeting viral RNA.

The non-natural nucleosides with a quaternary stereogenic center at C2' are crucial to drug discovery. They have become a cornerstone for the treatment of cancer and various viral infections as exemplified by gemcitabine and sofosbuvir. Major research effort has been expended to gain synthetic access to these nucleoside analogues with a significant steric bulk at C2' in the furanoside ring.

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), an economically important pathogen of cloven-hoofed livestock, is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus classified in the family. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of RNA viruses is highly conserved. Compounds that bind to the RdRp active site can block viral replication.

In continuation of our efforts of finding novel nucleoside inhibitors for the treatment of viral diseases, we initiated a discovery research program aimed at identifying novel nucleos(t)ide inhibitors for emerging diseases like Dengue and Chikungunya. Based on the previously reported 2'-spiro-oxetane uridine derivatives active against Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), we envisaged its sulfur analogue as an interesting congener both from a synthetic as well as biological point of view. Surprisingly, we found the 2'-spirothietane uridine derivatives not only to be active against HCV and Dengue virus (DENV), viruses belonging to the flavivirus family, but also to demonstrate activity against alphaviruses like Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and Sindbis virus (SINV).
