Abstract

Background: Recently, the synthesis and antiviral activity of a series of 2′-fluoro derivatives of the most potent anti-varicella zoster virus (VZV) agent reported to date, the bicyclic nucleoside analogue Cf1743, have been reported. Methods: Here, we present molecular modelling studies for the interaction of these compounds with VZV-encoded thymidine kinase (TK) and we report the synthesis of a series of phosphoramidate ProTides of these compounds designed to bypass the nucleoside kinase dependence of the parent nucleoside analogues. Results: The phosphoramidate prodrugs were equally effective as their parent compounds against VZV in cell culture, but lost antiviral potency against TK-deficient VZV strains. Conclusions: ProTide-based kinase bypass is not successful in this case.
