The first synthetic route of novel 2'(beta),3'(beta)-C-dimethyl carbodine analogues is described. The key intermediate cyclopentenyl alcohol 11(beta) prepared from Weinreb amide 4 via ring-closing metathesis (RCM) and vicinal dihydroxylation. Coupling of 12 with nucleosidic bases via the Pd(0) catalyzed reaction followed by stereoselective dihydoxylation and deprotection afforded the target carbocyclic nucleoside analogues. The synthesized compounds were evaluated as inhibitors of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in Huh-7 cell line in vitro. However, the nucleosides failed to inhibit HCV RNA replication in the cell-based replicon assay (EC(50) > microM).

Synthesis of Fluorinated Nucleosides/Nucleotides and Their Antiviral Properties.

The FDA has approved several drugs based on the fluorinated nucleoside pharmacophore, and numerous drugs are currently in clinical trials. Fluorine-containing nucleos(t)ides offer significant antiviral and anticancer activity. The insertion of a fluorine atom, either in the base or sugar of nucleos(t)ides, alters its electronic and steric parameters and transforms the lipophilicity, pharmacodynamic, and pharmacokinetic properties of these moieties.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder marked by high blood glucose levels, impairing glucose production in the body. Its prevalence has steadily risen over the past decades, leading to compromised immunity and heightened susceptibility to microbial infections. Immune dysfunction associated with diabetes raises vulnerability, while neuropathy dulls sensation in the extremities, reducing injury awareness.

(Re)emerging RNA viruses have been major threats to public health in the past years, and from the few drugs available, nucleoside analogues are still at the cornerstone of the antiviral therapy. Among them, the synthesis of carbocyclic -nucleosides is suffering from long syntheses and poor yields. Herein we report a concise stereoselective synthesis of rare carbocyclic -nucleosides (11a-l) bearing non-canonical nucleobases through a cobalt-assisted-route as key step starting from the optically pure (-)-cyclopentenone 1.

Reversal of Enantioselectivity for the Desymmetrization of -1,2-Diols Catalyzed by Pyridine--oxides.

The desymmetrization of --diols with a reversal of enantioselectivity catalyzed by chiral pyridine--oxides with l-proline as a single source of chirality is reported. With chiral 3-substituted ArPNO and 2-substituted 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine--oxide as catalysts, a wide range of monoesters were obtained with satisfactory results with a complete and controlled switch in stereoselectivity (up to 97:3 and 1:99 er). Chiral six-membered carbocyclic uracil nucleosides were generated with excellent enantioselectivities after derivatization.

The nucleotidase ISN1 is a potential therapeutic target of the purine salvage pathway of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. We identified PfISN1 ligands by in silico screening of a small library of nucleos(t)ide analogues and by thermal shift assays. Starting from a racemic cyclopentyl carbocyclic phosphonate scaffold, we explored the diversity on the nucleobase moiety and also proposed a convenient synthetic pathway to access the pure enantiomers of our initial hit (compound (±)-2).
