Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for the preparation of substituted pyridine compounds of formula (I), comprises a step in which vinylogous nitriles of formula (II), are obtained from substituted ?,?-unsaturated nitrile compounds of formula (III), and a further step of converting the vinylogous nitrile compounds of formula (II) into substituted pyridines of formula (I); wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and LG are as defined in the description.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides nucleoside analogs of Formula (I) or (II). The nucleoside analogs are expected to show multiple tautomerism and may increase the mutation of an RNA and/or DNA (be mutagenic) of a virus or cancer cell. The multiple tautomerism and mutagenesis of the nucleoside analogs may be adjusted by substituting the nucleoside analogs with one or more electron-donating groups and/or electron-withdrawing groups to increase or decrease the pKa (e.g., to a pKa between 5.5 or 8.5). The present disclosure also provides pharmaceutical compositions and kits including the nucleoside analogs and methods of treating a viral infection (e.g., influenza, HIV infection, or hepatitis) or cancer using the nucleoside analogs, pharmaceutical compositions, or kits.
