Several cyclobutyladenine and analogous carbonucleosides were synthesized from 1R-alpha-pinene and their anti-viral activity was tested. One of them (3e) showed interesting selectivity against both TK+ and TK- VZV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
