Synthesis and antiviral evaluation of thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidine C-nucleoside analogues of 2′,3′-dideoxy- and 2′,3′-dideoxy-2′,3′-didehydro-adenosine and -inosine

Several thieno[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives, including four hitherto unknown 2′,3′-dideoxy- and 2′,3′-dideoxy-2′,3′-didehydro-C-nucleoside analogues of adenosine and inosine have been synthesized. When evaluated in cell culture experiments against human immunodeficiency virus, none of the tested compounds exhibited any significant antiviral effect, while two of them showed some cytotoxicity.
