Abstract

Based on the anti-hepatitis C activity of 2'-C-methyl-adenosine and 2'-C-methyl-guanosine, a series of new modified purine 2'-C-methyl nucleosides was prepared as potential anti-hepatitis C virus agents. Herein, we report the synthesis of both 6-modified and 2-modified purine 2'-C-methyl-nucleosides along with their anti-HCV replication activity and cytotoxicity in different cells.
