ABSTRACT
The synthesis and in vitro anti-measles virus (anti-MV) activity of a class of ring-expanded ('fat') nucleoside analogues (1-4) containing the title heterocyclic ring system are reported. The target compounds were synthesized by base-catalyzed condensations of 4,5-dicarboxylic acid esters of the appropriately substituted imidazole-1-ribosides with suitably substituted guanidine derivatives. Compounds were screened for anti-MV activity in African green monkey kidney cells (CV-1), employing ribavirin as the control standard. While the parent compound 1 itself failed to show any significant antiviral activity against MV, its analogues containing hydrophobic substituents at the 2-position (2) or the 6-position (4) showed promising antiviral activity at submicromolar or micromolar concentration levels with no apparent toxicity to the host cell line. Both compounds showed higher anti-MV activity than the control drug ribavirin.
