ANTI-VIRAL SULFUR-ANALOGUES OF 1,5-DIDEOXY-1,5-IMINO-D-GLUCITOL (DEOXYNOJIRIMYCIN)

摘要

Novel derivatives of 1-deoxynojirimycin are disclosed which have thio or sulfinyl substituents at C-2 or C-3. They can be represented by formulae (1,11). These compounds are useful inhibitors of lentiviruses such as visna virus and human immunodeficiency virus. Methods of chemical synthesis of these derivatives and intermediates therefor are also disclosed.
