  • Publication number: 20220227720
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound, or a dimer or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate of said compound or dimer, for use in a method for the treatment of a disease, disorder or condition caused by an RNA virus, said compound having the general structure shown in Formula (I).

  • Patent number: 10131685
    Abstract: Compounds which can be used as prodrugs, in particular nucleoside diphosphate and triphosphate prodrugs, and a method for producing these compounds. The aim is to provide improved di- and/or triphosphate prodrugs, in particular nucleotide or nucleotide analog prodrugs. This is achieved in one aspect by providing bioreversibly and asymmetrically masked di- and triphosphate compounds, in particular nucleoside diphosphate and nucleoside triphosphate compounds or the analogs thereof. The masking only occurs at the terminal phosphate, i.e. at the ?- or ?-phosphate, whereas the masking of the internal phosphate is omitted.

  • Publication number: 20150361124
    Abstract: A method for producing phosphate-bridged nucleoside conjugates, in particular poly- or oligonucleosides. In the method, an immobilized cyclosaligenyl derivative of a nucleoside, nucleotide, poly- or oligonucleotide, poly- or oligonucleoside, or an analog thereof, is synthesized, and the subsequent reaction with a nucleophile yields the desired phosphate-bridged nucleoside conjugate, which may subsequently be released from the solid phase.

  • Patent number: 8742094
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing phosphate-bridged nucleoside conjugates. In the method, a cyclosaligenyl nucleotide is produced first, to which a linker is added, which is used to perform the immobilization on a solid phase. A subsequent reaction with corresponding nucleophiles results in the desired phosphate-bridged nucleoside conjugates, which can then again be cleaved from the solid phase-bound linker.

    Date of Patent: June 3, 2014
    Assignee: Universitaet Hamburg
    Inventors: Chris Meier, Viktoria Caroline Tonn
  • Patent number: 8629265
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing phosphate-bridged nucleoside conjugates. In the method a nucleophile is first dissolved in a non-aqueous solvent and dried, and a cyclosaligenyl phosphate compound is subsequently added to the solution.

  • Patent number: 8350022
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for stereoselective synthesis of phosphorus compounds, whereby in the first reaction step a chiral auxiliary on the phosphorus atom of phosphoryl chloride, thiophosphoryl chloride or phosphorus trichloride is covalently bonded, the product from the first reaction step is reacted in the following step with an alcohol, thiol, or amine as the nucleophile in the presence of a base, and in the last step the chiral auxiliary is displaced from the product of the following step by a nucleophile.
