N4-hydroxycytosine dioxolane nucleosides and their activity against hepatitis B virus

Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2005;24(8):1209-14. doi: 10.1081/NCN-200067414.

Abstract

Novel racemic, D- and L-beta-dioxolane N4-hydroxycytosine nucleosides have been synthesized and evaluated for their activity against hepatitis B virus. None of the synthesized nucleosides demonstrated selective anti-HBV activity.
