An improved total synthesis of triciribine: a tricyclic nucleoside with antineoplastic and antiviral properties

Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2004;23(1-2):31-9. doi: 10.1081/ncn-120027815.

Abstract

We describe an efficient total synthesis of triciribine, a tricyclic nucleoside with antineoplastic and antiviral properties, starting from 4-amino-6-bromo-5-cyanopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine.
