Abstract

A general reaction of glycosyl cyanides with liquid hydrogen sulfide in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine to provide the corresponding glycosylthiocarboxamides is described. These glycosylthiocarboxamides were utilized as the precursors for the synthesis of 2-D-ribofuranosylthiazole-4-carboxamide and 2-beta-D-ribofuranosylthiazole-5-carboxamide (23). The structural modification of 2-beta-D-ribofuranosylthiazole-4-carboxamide (12) into 2-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)thiazole-4-carboxamide (15), 2-beta-D-ribofuranosylthiazole-4-thiocarboxamide (17), and 2-(5-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)thiazole-4-carboxamide (19) is also described. These thiazole nucleosides were tested for in vitro activity against type 1 herpes virus, type 3 parainfluenza virus, and type 13 rhinovirus and an in vivo experiment was run against parainfluenza virus. They were also evaluated as potential inhibitors of purine nucleotide biosynthesis. It was shown that the compounds (12 and 15) which possessed the most significant antiviral activity were also active inhibitors (40-70%) of guanine nucleotide biosynthesis.
