Abstract
Enantiomerically pure cyclopentyl cytosine [(−)-carbodine 1] was synthesized from d-ribose and evaluated for its anti-influenza activity in vitro in comparison to the (+)-carbodine, (±)-carbodine and ribavirin. (−)-Carbodine 1 exhibited potent antiviral activity against various strains of influenza A and B viruses.
