摘要
Thieno analogues of the potent and selective furo-pyrimidine anti-VZV nucleoside family bearing a p-alkylphenyl side chain have been synthesised and tested for their antiviral activity against Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV). While the alkyl chain analogues were shown to retain full antiviral activity against VZV, these new analogues did not when compared to their furo parent nucleosides.
