This paper offers the results of a synthesis and study of cytotoxicity and the anti-Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) activity of new 2-deoxy-2-chloro-pyranosyl derivatives of 4-tosyl-5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3-triazole obtained via the addition reaction of the corresponding 2-N-chlorotriazole to the double bond of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal. Nucleoside mimetics, derivatives of 4-tosyl-5-polyfluoroalkyl-1,2,3-triazoles containing fragments of 3-chloro-tetrahydrofuran, 3-chloro-tetrahydropyran, tetrahydropyran, dihydrofuran, dihydropyran, or acyclic substituents, were also studied. Evaluation of cytotoxicity (trypan blue and MTT methods) and anti-EBV activity (polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method) showed high selectivity indices for the compounds 4a, 4b, 5b, 6, and 8. A total of 15 novel compounds were examined in this study.

The addition of 2‐N‐chlorotriazoles (I) to dihydropyran followed by base‐promoted dehydrochlorination leads to nucleoside mimetics (IV).

The objective of the investigation was to characterize infectious bursal disease viruses (IBDV) circulating in commercial poultry farms in Ukraine between 2014 and 2016. IBDV genetic material was amplified directly from bursa. The nucleotide sequence for VP2 hypervariable region of 16 IBDVs were determined by RT-PCR method, sequenced and compared to well characterised IBDV isolates worldwide. Neighbor-joining method was used for phylogenetic analyses. In result of the studyUkrainian IBDVs represented two genetic lineages: very virulent (vv) IBDVs and classical IBDV closely related to attenuated vaccine stains. The nucleotide identity among UkrainianvvIBDVs ranged between 87.2% and 99,8%. Ukrainian vvIBDV strains clustered together with very virulent strains from other counties like: United Kingdom, Egypt, China, Netherlands and Spain. In conclusion this report demonstrates the circulation of vvIBDV in commercial poultry farms in Ukraine.
