Abstract

Novel 9-fluoren-beta-O-glycosides, designed as DNA-intercalating agents in structural correlation with antiviral tilorone and anticancer anthracyclines, have been prepared with yields in beta-anomers ranging between 25 and 63%. They have been screened for antiproliferative, immunostimulating and antiviral properties against HSV-1 and HSV-2 viruses. Compounds displaying significant antiviral activity against HSV-2 are acetylated 1 and deprotected 6 9-fluorenyl-O-D-arabinopyranoses, whereas 9-fluorenyl-O-D-glucopyranose 3 is the most effective on HSV-1 replication, followed by 1 and 6. The conformational properties of these compounds have been evaluated by molecular modelling techniques. (C) 2004 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
