Based on the available data on the acyclovir's mechanism of action we attempted to predict the antiherpetic activity of 6-hydroxy-2-oxahexen-4-yl derivatives of nucleic bases. In terms of this model 9-(6-hydroxy-2-oxahexen-4-yl) guanine might be active. 6-Hydroxy-2-oxahexen-4-yl derivatives of adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, uracil, 1,2,4-triazole-3 and 1,2,4-triazole-5-carboxamide have been synthesized and their activity against herpes virus I investigated. The guanine derivative proved to possess rather high activity (chemotherapeutical index 8). |
