Abstract
Highly selective arabinofuranosyl nucleosides, which inhibit the mitochondrial thymidine kinase (TK-2) without affecting the closely related herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase (HSV-1 TK), varicella-zoster virus thymidine kinase (VZV-TK), cytosolic thymidine kinase (TK-1) or the multifunctional Drosophila melanogaster deoxyribonucleoside kinase ( Dm-dNK), have been obtained. SAR studies indicate a close relation between the length of the substituent at the 2′ position of the arabinofuranosyl moiety and the inhibitory activity.
