Synthesis and antiviral properties of 9-[(2-methyleneaminoxyethoxy)methyl]guanine derivatives as novel Acyclovir analogues.

This paper reports the synthesis and the antiviral properties of a series of 9-[(2-methyleneaminoxyethoxy)methyl]guanine derivatives, which can be viewed as analogues of the antiherpes drug Acyclovir (ACV) from which they differ in the replacement of its hydroxy group with variously substituted methyleneaminoxy moieties. Some of the newly synthesized compounds proved to possess a certain activity against HSV-1, albeit lower than that of ACV.

Crystallographic evidence for the electronic distribution in (2,4-cyclopentadien-1-yl-idenehydrazono)triphenylphosphorane.

The title compound, C23H19N2P, can be graphically represented by several canonical forms. Its crystal structure analysis shows a clear bond alternation in the cyclopentadiene ring, which continues in the azo substructure, indicating that the resonance form containing the nonaromatic neutral cyclopentadienylidene moiety describes the actual hybrid form better than other 'inner ionic' resonance forms containing the aromatic anionic cyclopentadienylic portion. The preference for an s-transoid (E) geometry for the P1-N1-N2-C1 substructure was also confirmed over the other possible s-cisoid (Z) conformer.
