A convenient stereospecific synthesis of 6'-fluoro-3-deazaneplanocin (6) has been accomplished from d-ribose in 15 steps. It is reported to possess significant activity towards Ebola (Zaire, Vero, μM: EC < 0.36; CC 125; SI > 347) with moderate inhibition of the target enzyme (S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase), which did not correlate directly with its anti-Ebola effects. Compound 6, with limited cytotoxicity, also displayed activity against measles, H1N1 and Pichinde.
