Abstract: The present invention relates to 1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-4-thio-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)cytosines having excellent antitumor activity, represented by formula [I]: ##STR1## wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or a phosphoric acid residue, and to a process for the production and use thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to 9-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-4-thio-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)purine derivatives having antiviral activity, represented by formula [I]: ##STR1## wherein B represents a base selected from the group consisting of purine, azapurine and deazapurine, which may be substituted with halogen, alkyl, haloalkyl, alkenyl, haloalkenyl, alkynyl, amino, alkylamino, hydroxyl, hydroxyamino, aminoxy, alkoxy, mercapto, alkylmercapto, aryl, aryloxy or cyano; and R represents a hydrogen atom or a phosphoric acid residue, and to a process for the production and use thereof.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel purine 4'-thioarabinonucleoside represented by the following formula ?1!: ##STR1## wherein B represents a purine base other than adenine. Also disclosed are a method for preparing the purine 4'-thioarabinonucleoside and pharmaceutical compositions containing the purine 4'-thioarabinonucleoside.

Abstract: The present invention relates to 2'-deoxy-2'-(substituted or unsubstituted)methylidene-4'-thionucleosides having excellent antitumor activity, represented by formula ?I!: ##STR1## wherein B represents a pyrimidine or purine base, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, which may be the same or different, represent hydrogen, a cyano group or alkyl group, and R.sub.3 represents hydrogen or a phosphoric acid residue, and a method for producing the same, and a use of the same.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicle tire structure in which a tubeless pneumatic tire is fitted over a wheel, characterized in that: at least a pair of walls project in substantially radial direction from an outer circumferential surface of the wheel into an annular chamber defined between the tire and the wheel. These walls prevents the generation of standing waves or the air column resonace inside the tire and contribute to the overall reduction of the road noise of the vehicle. The proximal ends of the walls may be either bonded to an annular member which surrounds the wheel or pivoted to a similar annular member and biased into radial or upright positions by a spring member, in such a manner as not to interfere with the replacement of the tire. Alternatively, the walls may consist of inflatable bags which may be inflated into upright positions and deflated into flat positions.
