Abstract
Viruses are a real threat to every organism at any stage of life leading to extensive infections and casualties. N-heterocycles can affect the viral life cycle at many points, including viral entrance into host cells, viral genome replication, and the production of novel viral species. Certain N-heterocycles can also stimulate the host's immune system, producing antiviral cytokines and chemokines that can stop the reproduction of viruses. This review focused on recent five- or six-membered synthetic N-heterocyclic molecules showing antiviral activity through SAR analyses. The review will assist in identifying robust scaffolds that might be utilized to create effective antiviral drugs with either no or few side effects.

Abstract
A series of 7-deazaadenine ribonucleosides bearing alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, or hetaryl groups at position 7 as well as their 5'-O-triphosphates and two types of monophosphate prodrugs (phosphoramidates and S-acylthioethanol esters) were prepared and tested for antiviral activity against selected RNA viruses (Dengue, Zika, tick-borne encephalitis, West Nile, and SARS-CoV-2). The modified triphosphates inhibited the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases at micromolar concentrations through the incorporation of the modified nucleotide and stopping a further extension of the RNA chain. 7-Deazaadenosine nucleosides bearing ethynyl or small hetaryl groups at position 7 showed (sub)micromolar antiviral activities but significant cytotoxicity, whereas the nucleosides bearing bulkier heterocycles were still active but less toxic. Unexpectedly, the monophosphate prodrugs were similarly or less active than the corresponding nucleosides in the in vitro antiviral assays, although the bis(S-acylthioethanol) prodrug 14h was transported to the Huh7 cells and efficiently released the nucleoside monophosphate.

Abstract
This is the second of two invited articles reviewing the development of nucleoside analogue antiviral drugs, written for a target audience of virologists and other non-chemists, as well as chemists who may not be familiar with the field. As with the first paper, rather than providing a chronological account, we have chosen to examine particular examples of structural modifications made to nucleoside analogues that have proven fruitful as various antiviral, anticancer, and other therapeutics. The first review covered the more common, and in most cases, single modifications to the sugar and base moieties of the nucleoside scaffold. This paper focuses on more recent developments, especially nucleoside analogues that contain more than one modification to the nucleoside scaffold. We hope that these two articles will provide an informative historical perspective of some of the successfully designed analogues, as well as many candidate compounds that encountered obstacles.

Abstract
AbstractDibenzothiazepine analogues containing lactam, amidine and imine moieties were prepared from 2-aminophenyl disulfides via one-pot S-arylation. The S-arylation involved cleavage of an S-S bond of disulfides and SNAr reaction in aqueous ammonia solution of L-cysteine to afford diaryl sulfides. Dibenzothiazepine analogues having lactam and amidine moieties were obtained by cyclization of the corresponding diaryl sulfides under acidic conditions. One-pot S-arylation of 2-bromo-5-nitrobenzaldehyde gave dibenzothiazepine analogues with an imine moiety in one step through intramolecular cyclization. Compounds with antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were obtained.

Abstract
New methods for preparation of tailor-made fluorine-containing compounds are in extremely high demand in nearly every sector of chemical industry. The asymmetric construction of quaternary C-F stereogenic centers is the most synthetically challenging and, consequently, the least developed area of research. As a reflection of this apparent methodological deficit, pharmaceutical drugs featuring C-F stereogenic centers constitute less than 1% of all fluorine-containing medicines currently on the market or in clinical development. Here we provide a comprehensive review of current research activity in this area, including such general directions as asymmetric electrophilic fluorination via organocatalytic and transition-metal catalyzed reactions, asymmetric elaboration of fluorine-containing substrates via alkylations, Mannich, Michael, and aldol additions, cross-coupling reactions, and biocatalytic approaches.

Abstract
7-Deazapurine (pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine) nucleosides are important analogues of biogenic purine nucleosides with diverse biological activities. Replacement of the N7 atom with a carbon atom makes the five-membered ring more electron rich and brings a possibility of attaching additional substituents at the C7 position. This often leads to derivatives with increased base-pairing in DNA or RNA or better binding to enzymes. Several types of 7-deazapurine nucleosides with potent cytostatic or cytotoxic effects have been identified. The most promising are 7-hetaryl-7-deazaadenosines, which are activated in cancer cells by phosphorylation and get incorporated both to RNA (causing inhibition of proteosynthesis) and to DNA (causing DNA damage). Mechanism of action of other types of cytostatic nucleosides, 6-hetaryl-7-deazapurine and thieno-fused deazapurine ribonucleosides, is not yet known. Many 7-deazaadenosine derivatives are potent inhibitors of adenosine kinases. Many types of sugar-modified derivatives of 7-deazapurine nucleosides are also strong antivirals. Most important are 2'-C-methylribo- or 2'-C-methyl-2'-fluororibonucleosides with anti-HCV activities (several compounds underwent clinical trials). Some underexplored areas of potential interest are also outlined.

The HCV NS5B polymerase, an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, is essential for HCV replication, which is able to catalyze the synthesis of positive (genomic) and negative (template) strand HCV RNA, but has no functional equivalent in mammalian cells. Therefore, the NS5B polymerase has emerged as an attractive target for the development of specifically targeted antiviral therapy for HCV (DAA, for direct-acting antivirals). Recently, a growing number of compounds have been reported as the NS5B polymerase inhibitors, some of which especially have been licensed in clinical trials. This review describes recent advances on the synthesis of the NS5B polymerase inhibitors, focusing on the merits and demerits of their synthetic methods. In particular, inspiration from the synthesis and the future direction of the NS5B polymerase inhibitors are highlighted.

Abstract
Previous investigations identified 2'-C-Me-branched ribo-C-nucleoside adenosine analogues, 1, which contains a pyrrolo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazin-4-amine heterocyclic base, and 2, which contains an imidazo[2,1-f][1,2,4]triazin-4-amine heterocyclic base as two compounds with promising anti-HCV in vitro activity. This Letter describes the synthesis and evaluation of a series of novel analogues of these compounds substituted at the 2-, 7-, and 8-positions of the heterocyclic bases. A number of active new HCV inhibitors were identified but most compounds also demonstrated unacceptable cytotoxicity. However, the 7-fluoro analogue of 1 displayed good potency with a promising cytotherapeutic margin.

Sugar-modified derivatives of cytostatic 7-(het)aryl-7-deazaadenosines: 2'-C-methylribonucleosides, 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoroarabinonucleosides, arabinonucleosides and 2'-deoxyribonucleosides. Bioorg Med Chem 2012; 20:5202-14.

Abstract
A series of novel sugar-modified derivatives of cytostatic 7-hetaryl-7-deazaadenosines (2'-C-methylribonucleosides, 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoroarabinonucleosides, arabinonucleosides and 2'-deoxyribonucleosides) was prepared and screened for biological activity. The synthesis consisted of preparation of the corresponding sugar-modified 7-iodo-7-deazaadenine nucleosides and their aqueous-phase Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions with (het)arylboronic acids or Stille couplings with hetarylstannanes in DMF. The synthesis of 7-iodo-7-deazaadenine nucleosides was based on a glycosidation of 6-chloro-7-iodo-7-deazapurine with a suitable sugar synthon or on an interconversion of 2'-OH stereocenter (for arabinonucleosides). Several examples of 2'-C-Me-ribonucleosides showed moderate anti-HCV activities in a replicon assay accompanied by cytotoxicity. Several 7-hetaryl-7-deazaadenine fluoroarabino- and arabinonucleosides exerted moderate micromolar cytostatic effects. The most active was 7-ethynyl-7-deazaadenine fluoroarabinonucleoside which showed submicromolar antiproliferative activity. However, all the sugar-modified derivatives were less active than the parent ribonucleosides.
