| Title | A library of new small molecules that could be used as anticancer, antiviral drugs |
| Knowhow is available for | A synthetic routine that allows one to manipulate the substrate flexibility at the final/penultimate steps- yielding a small library of modified nucleosides without the need for synthesising every compound from the beginning, and hence siginificantly reducing drug development time and costs. |
| Summary | NCL’s technology provides a strategy that allows synthesizing spironucleosides with enormous flexibility to modulate the substituents and properties of the resulting compounds at the final/penultimate steps. The provision to manipulate the substrate flexibility allows this approach to yield a small library of modified nucleosides without synthesizing every compound from the beginning. |
| Advantages | • Cycloaddition process used is of high synthetic efficiency • These libraries significantly reduce drug development time and efforts • Good yield in the presence of the recommended catalysts • Easy and flexible penultimate bicycloannulation step involved |
