Nucleophilic displacement of the tosyloxy group in 7-(2-hydroxy-3-p-toluenesulfonyloxypropyl)theophylline (1) with azide anion afforded 7-(3-azido-2-hydroxypropyl)theophylline (2). Reduction of the 3-azido group in 2 with Ph3P/Py/NH4OH afforded the 3-amino derivative 4, alternatively obtained by regioselective amination of 7-(2,3-epoxypropyl)theophylline (3). Selective acetylation of 4 gave the N-acetyl derivative 5. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of the azide group in 2 with N1-propargyl thymine (6) afforded the regioisomeric triazole 7.

This study extends previous research, particularly focusing on patented scientific objects No. ID: PL 240 353 B1, investigating the physicochemical properties of the methyl 3-azido- and 3-amino-2,3-dideoxysaccharides with a nucleoside scaffold similar to 3'-azidothymidine (AZT). The study utilizes multiwavelength spectrophotometric and potentiometric methods to evaluate the ionization of the saccharide units in aqueous solutions.

The inhibition of HBV DNA and elimination of HBsAg has already been established as an indicator for HBV clinic cure, and a novel dual-targeting inhibitors of HBV polymerase/entry are designed and synthesized in this study. Pentacyclic triterpenes (PTs) scaffold of exhibiting a high affinity to NTCP, including glycyrrhitinic acid (GA), oleanolic acid (OA), ursolic acid (UA), and betulinic acid (BA) were linked neatly with the nucleoside drug zidovudine (AZT) through a molecular hybrid strategy to synthesize twenty of PTs-AZT conjugates for targeting HBV polymerase as well as sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP). The conjugates showed significant inhibitory effects on the secretion of HBsAg and HBeAg in HepG2.

Pronucleotides, after entering the cell, undergo chemical or enzymatic conversion into nucleotides with a free phosphate residue, and the released nucleoside 5'-monophosphate is then phosphorylated to the biologically active form, namely nucleoside 5'-triphosphate. The active form can inhibit HIV virus replication. For the most effective therapy, it is necessary to improve the transport of prodrugs into organelles.

Drug level feedback (DLF) can support dose optimization and timely interventions to prevent treatment failure, but current tests are heavily instrumented and centralized. We developed the REverse-transcriptase ACTivity-crispR (REACTR) assay for rapid measurement of HIV drugs based on the extent of DNA synthesis by HIV reverse transcriptase.

Since the discovery of penicillin, the forerunner of the most widely used class of antibiotics ( β-lactams), natural compounds and their derivatives represented a major source of antibacterial therapeutic products whose availability enabled modern medical practices (invasive surgery, organ transplant, .). However, the relentless emergence of resistant bacteria is challenging the long-term efficacy of antibiotics, also decreasing their economic attractiveness for big pharma, leading to a significant decay in antibacterial development in the 21 century and an increased use of last-resort drugs such as carbapenems or colistin.
