"Lock-in"-cycloSal-pronucleotides - a new generation of chemical Trojan Horses?

Mini Rev Med Chem. 2004 May;4(4):383-94. doi: 10.2174/1389557043403972.

Abstract

The cycloSal-concept is one example of a successful nucleotide delivering system (pronucleotide). For several nucleoside analogues, the cycloSal-approach improved the antiviral potency and the applicability of the nucleosides could be broadened. Here, a conceptional extension of the original design of the cycloSal-system will be discussed.
