    Abstract: The present invention is made to fulfill the foregoing need. Since most of antiHN nucleosides are 2?,3?-dideoxynucleosides that have been proved to be excellent substrates of kinases for the phosphorylations. 2?,3?-Dideoxy-2,-a-fluoro-2?-{3-C-methyl-nucleosides can be considered as one unique class of 2?,3?-dideoxynucleosides to be good substrate of kinases because fluorine mimics hydrogen. It also can be considered as ribo-nucleosides to incorporate into RNA of HCV because 2?-fluorine-a mimics 2?-a-OH group.

  • Patent number: 7125982
    Abstract: The present method describes the use of thio-phosphate as a feed source for micro-organisms and multi-cellular organisms. This compound enters into nucleotide pools and ultimately into polymers of both RNA and DNA forming stable phosphorothioate internucleotide linkages. The method enables the microbial synthesis of both plasmid and phage DNA substituted with phosphorothioate. Furthermore, methods are described for the preparation of phosphorothioate oligo mixtures from recombinant phage DNA grown in modified media for use in antisense studies.

  • Patent number: 7019128
    Abstract: Propargylethoxyamino nucleosides are disclosed having the structure wherein R1 and R2 are —H, lower alkyl, or label; B is a 7-deazapurine, purine, or pyrimidine nucleoside base; W1 is —H or —OH; W2 is —OH or a moiety which renders the nucleoside incapable of forming a phosphodiester bond at the 3?-position; and W3 is —PO4, —P2O7, —P3O10, phosphate analog, or —OH. Additionaly, a primer extension method is provided employing the above propargylethoxyamino nucleosides.

  • Patent number: 6949640
    Abstract: 2-Chloro-9-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-?-D-arabinofuranosyl)-9H-purin-9-amine is synthesized by reacting a 2-chloro-6-substituted purine with a protected and activated 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-arabinofuranose; and reacting with a base such as ammonia to provide 2-chloro-9-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-?-D-arabinofuranosyl)-9H-purin-6-amine. When the purine reactant is substituted in the 6 position with a halogen, a reaction step with an alkoxide is carried out prior to the reaction with ammonia.

  • Patent number: 6884880
    Abstract: A process for substantially enhancing the regio and stereoselective synthesis of 9-?-anomeric nucleoside analogs is described. The introduction of the sugar moiety onto a 6-substituted purine base was preformed so that only the 9-?-D- or L-purine nucleoside analogs were obtained. This regio and stereoselective introduction of the sugar moiety allows the synthesis of nucleoside analogs and in particular 2?-deoxy, 3?-deoxy, 2?-deoxy-2?-?-fluoro and 2?,3?-dideoxy-2?-?-fluoro purine nucleoside analogs in high yield without virtually any formation of the 7-positional isomers. The compounds are drugs or intermediates to drugs.
