This paper offers the results of a synthesis and study of cytotoxicity and the anti-Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) activity of new 2-deoxy-2-chloro-pyranosyl derivatives of 4-tosyl-5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,3-triazole obtained via the addition reaction of the corresponding 2-N-chlorotriazole to the double bond of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal. Nucleoside mimetics, derivatives of 4-tosyl-5-polyfluoroalkyl-1,2,3-triazoles containing fragments of 3-chloro-tetrahydrofuran, 3-chloro-tetrahydropyran, tetrahydropyran, dihydrofuran, dihydropyran, or acyclic substituents, were also studied. Evaluation of cytotoxicity (trypan blue and MTT methods) and anti-EBV activity (polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method) showed high selectivity indices for the compounds 4a, 4b, 5b, 6, and 8. A total of 15 novel compounds were examined in this study.

The addition of 2‐N‐chlorotriazoles (I) to dihydropyran followed by base‐promoted dehydrochlorination leads to nucleoside mimetics (IV).

Copolymers of N-polyvinylpyrrolidone-acrylic acid (AB-1) and adamantane derivatives are known to possess marked antiviral activity in in vitro and in ovo models. Among the constructed preparations of AB-1 modified by adamantane derivatives some, especially AB-4 (modified by deitiforin), were found to show more extended antiviral activity and to inhibit markedly virus reproduction in susceptible permissive cell cultures and chicken embryos. In AB-4 treated cells and allantoic sacs, virus titers (influenza virus, herpes virus, and HIV) and virus antigen concentration were decreased. On the other hand, herpes virus-specific thymidine kinase and of DNA-polymerases isolated from Escherichia coli, Plectonema boryanum, and herpes virus type 1 infected murine brain tissue retained their activity after incubation with AB-4 or AB-2. The compounds investigated, in view of their effect on virus reproduction, are thought to be prospective as antiviral agents.
