Resumo

We describe the synthesis of a variety of lipophilic isosteres of nucleoside triphosphates as potential anti-HIV agents. The citrate molecule proved to be a good mimic of triphosphate by modelling in terms of charge and spatial distribution. Several lipophilc derivatives of citrate were conjugated to the precedented anti-HIV nucleoside d4T via ester and amide linkages. A novel synthesis of 5′-amino-d4T is included. Intramolecular rearrangement of several amide-linked isosteres are also reported, along with an alternative synthetic strategy to the desired amide-linked isosteres.
