9-(cis-3-Hydroxymethyl-2-methylenecyclobutyl)guanine (3b) and 9-(3-methylene-trans-2-hydroxymethylcyclobutyl)guanine (4b) were prepared from N2-isobutyryl-9-[trans-trans-2,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclobutyl]guanine (2f) or 2,3-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1-cyclobutanol (7b). Carbocyclic oxetanocin analogues (A, 1d; G, 2d) and related compounds including 4b were assayed against a broad variety of viruses. It appeared that the activity of 2d against herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) at least partially depends on phosphorylation by the virus-induced thymidine kinase (TK). Although 1d and 2d are inhibitory to the replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), they are quite toxic to proliferating human T-lymphocytes.

A synthesis of cyclobutene nucleoside analogs in which the nucleobase is tethered by a methylene group is described. The coupling of 6-chloropurine with 3-hydroxymethyl-cyclobutanone proceeds via its triflate to give both N-7 and N-9 regioisomers with relative yields corresponding to the calculated charge distribution of the 6-chloropurinyl anion. The stereoselective reduction of the N-alkylated ketones yielded quantitatively one stereoisomer in each case.

Five novel nucleoside analogs with mono or bis-hydroxymethylated cyclopropane rings at the N-position of the 2-chloroadenine moiety (2-chloro-carbocyclic oxetanocin A [COA-Cl] analog) were synthesized and evaluated using human umbilical vein endothelial cells. All the prepared compounds (2a-e) showed good to moderate activity with angiogenic potency. cis-2'-(Hydroxymethyl)cycloprop-1'-yl derivative (2b) at 100 µM had greater angiogenic activity than the other compounds did, with relative tube areas of 2.

Six novel carbocyclic oxetanocin A analogs (2-chloro-C.OXT-A; COA-Cl) with various hydroxymethylated or spiro-conjugated cyclobutane rings at the N(9)-position of the 2-chloropurine moiety were synthesized and evaluated using human umbilical vein endothelial cells. All prepared compounds (2a-f) showed good to moderate activity with angiogenic potency.

This review describes the synthesis and evaluation of novel nucleic acid derivatives performed by our research group to date. We developed a new method for the synthesis of 2-alkoxyadenosine analogs via nonaqueous diazotization-dediazoniation reactions. By applying these reactions, we effectively synthesized four types of carbocyclic oxetanocin analogs (2-alkoxy-C.

The synthesis of the trisubstituted cyclobutane 7, which is a suitable precursor for the preparation of oxetanocin carbocyclic analogues, is described. The key step involves a regio- and diastereoselective [2 + 2] photochemical reaction of ketene diethyl acetal with (S)-5-pivaloyloxymethyl-2(5H)-furanone, 3. As an application of this methodology, (-)-cyclobut-A has been prepared from the intermediate 7.
