Abstract

A number of nucleoside 5‘;-hydrogenphosphonates and nucleoside 5‘;-ioethylphosphonates were prepared, to study their ability to inhibit replication of HIV-1. Two compounds, the 5’-hydrogenphosphonate of 3’;-azido-3‘; -deoxythymidine (AZT-HP, IVc) and of 3‘; -deoxy-3‘; -fluorothymidine (FLT-HP, IVa), exhibit potent anti-HIV-1 activity with selectivity indices similar to or better than those of their parent nucleosides.
