  1. Abstract:

    A short account of the mechanism of action of the oncolytic nucleoside, tiazofurin, and the discovery of its active metabolite, TAD, is described. The chapter also includes a brief history of the early chemical approaches used for the synthesis of TAD and other analogues, including the phosphodiesterase-resistant beta-methylene TAD phosphonate. A new synthetic approach to the latter compound is highlighted as a viable way to obtain this class of compounds in larger quantities. U.S. government work. Published 2003 American Chemical Society.
