Five 2-phenyl-4-(D-arabino-4'-cycloamino-3'-hydroxy-O-1',2'-isopropylidene-butyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazoles, acyclonucleosides containing unnatural bases have been synthesised by opening of the epoxide ring of 2-phenyl-4-(D-arabino-3',4'-epoxy-O-1',2'-isopropylidenebutyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole with the corresponding cyclic amines in 70-85% yields. The starting arabino-epoxytriazole was prepared in five steps starting from D-glucose in an overall yield of 15%. All the five triazolylacyclonucleosides were unambiguously identified on the basis of their spectral data. The structure of one of the intermediates, that is 2-phenyl-4-(D-arabino-1',2',3',4'-tetrahydroxybutyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole was confirmed by its X-ray crystallographic studies. These acyclonucleosides were subjected to antiviral activity evaluation in CEM-SS cell-based anti HIV assay with the lymphocytropic virus strains HIV-1(IIIB) and HIV-1(RF).
