Reverse nucleoside derivatives of 2-(methylsulfanyl)uracils 6a-d were prepared by treating of the sodium salt of 2-(methylsulfanyl)uracils (5a-d) with methyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-O-p-toluenesulfonyl-beta-D-ribofuranoside (2). The alkylation of 2-thiouracils 4a-d with methyl 5-deoxy-5-iodo-2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-ribofuranoside (3) afforded the corresponding S-ribofuranoside derivatives 8a-d. Deisopropylidenation of 6a-d and 8a-d afforded the corresponding deprotected derivatives 7a-d and 9a-d, respectively. The Anti-HBV activity of selected compounds was studied.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a significant global health challenge, often leading to severe liver complications such as cirrhosis and cancer. Current treatments rely heavily on nucleos(t)ide analogues like adefovir and tenofovir due to their potent antiviral effects. However, their clinical utility is limited by insufficient liver targeting, leading to off-target side effects, particularly nephrotoxicity.

Sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) has been identified as an entry receptor for hepatitis B virus (HBV), but the molecular events of the viral post-endocytosis steps remain obscure. In this study, we discovered that manganese (Mn) could strongly inhibit HBV infection in NTCP-reconstituted HepG2 cells without affecting viral replication. We therefore profiled the antiviral effects of Mn2+ in an attempt to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms involved in early HBV infection.
