Abstract

Nucleoside activation by nucleoside diphosphate kinase and inhibition of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase were studied comparatively for a new class of nucleoside analogs with a borano (BH-3) or a thio (SH) group on the α-phosphate. Both the α-Rp-borano derivatives of AZT and d4T improved phosphorylation by NDP kinase, inhibition of reverse transcription as well as stability of α-borano monophosphate derivatives in terminated viral DNA chain.
