Several novel C-pseudonucleosides bearing thiazolidin-4-one were synthesized by one-pot three-component condensation using unprotected sugar aldehyde at room temperature, and their effects on T cells, B cells, the cytokine secretion of IL-2, IL-4, and IFN-γ, T cell-associated molecules (CD3, CD4, CD8), and B cell-associated molecules (CD19) were first evaluated. The experimental data demonstrated that such thiazolidin-4-one C-pseudonucleosides hold potential as immunostimulating agents.
