Abstract: We report on the synthesis of novel conformationally locked nucleoside and nucleotide derivatives, which are structurally closely related to clinically used antivirals such as didanosine and abacavir. As a suitable conformationally rigid substitute of the sugar/pseudosugar ring allowing a permanent stabilization of the nucleoside in North conformation we employed bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (norbornane) substituted in the bridgehead position with a hydroxymethyl group and in the C-3 position with a nucleobase. Prepared nucleoside derivatives were also converted into appropriate phosphoramidate prodrugs (ProTides) in order to increase delivery of the compounds in the cells. All target compounds were evaluated in a broad antiviral and cytostatic assay panel.
