Carbocyclic nucleoside analogues are an essential class of antiviral agents and are commonly used in the treatment of viral diseases (hepatitis B, AIDS). Recently, we reported the racemic synthesis and the anti-human immunodeficiency virus activities (HIV) of 3′-fluoro-5′-norcarbocyclic nucleoside phosphonates bearing purines as heterocyclic base. Based on these results, the corresponding racemic norcarbocyclic nucleoside phosphonates bearing pyrimidine bases were synthesized. The prepared compounds were evaluated against HIV, but none of them showed marked antiviral activity compared to their purine counterparts.
