  1. I am happy to share my recent publication in #OrgLett 📰

    ⚗️ We synthesized carbobicyclic nucleoside analogues which appear to be potent #antivirals against #RSV Despite their novel bicyclic structure, they adopt a ribose-like structure. This may be a new template for novel nucleoside analogues.

    ➡️ Next step: Explore the mechanism of action.

  2. Carbasugar #nucleoside analogues often lack biological activity, which is attributed to an unfavorable conformation. Locked nucleoside analogues, however, can mantain the ribose-like conformation. Another synthetic access is published in #OrgLett by Lak Shin Joeng and colleagues from Seoul National University (S. #Korea)

    They were able to report the synthesis of the conformationally locked cytidine nucleoside analogue in 19 steps.
