✦ Synopsis
A novel synthesis of AzddMAP and AzddGuo is described starting from 1,
2-0-isopropylidene-alpha-D-xylofuranose. The key step in this synthesis involves the replacement of a diphenyl carbamoyl protecting group in the purine 6-position by methanol.
In 1987 Hartmann, Hunsmann, and Eckstein (1) reported that 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxyguanosine, AzddGuo, inhibits the replication of human immunodeficiency virus in vitro. Eckstein et al. (2, 3) have reported that AzddGuo has a 50% effective antiviral dose against HIV in the range of 1.4 to 1.7 micromolar.
