Abstract

The synthese of the 5-(3-oxopropen-1-yl) derivatives of dU (5) and ddU (6) and their biological activity are reported. Good antiviral activity (EC50, 1.4 μg/mL) and selectivity (SI > 71.4) is shown by 5 against VZV, whereas in the case of 6 the antiviral activity (EC50, 2.6 μg/mL; SI > 38.5) against EBV is greater than that of Acyclovir (EC50, 9.3 μg/mL).
