The virally encoded integrase protein carries out retroviral integration, and to do so, it must make specific interactions with both viral and target DNA sequences. The retroviral integrase has three domains: an amino-terminal region of about 50 amino acids that

We have employed a tandem Sonogashira/annulation reaction between 5-iodocytosine derivatives and terminal alkynes to yield the fluorescent bicyclic nucleobase pyrrolcytosine. Pyrrolocytosine bearing substituents only on the pyrrole ring are conveniently synthesized from 5-iodocytosine. Water soluble pyrrolocytosines are being investigated as

As part of our ongoing investigation of the synthesis of biologically interesting 2'-modified-4'-thionucleosides, we synthesized 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro-4'-thioarabinofuranosylpyrimidine and -purine nucleosides, and evaluated their antiviral and antitumor activities. In the pyrimidine series, beta-anomers of 5-ethyluracil, 5-iodouracil, 5-chloroethyluracil, and 5-iodocytosine derivatives showed potent
