Praha 2008 Introduction Acyclic nucleoside phosphonates (ANPs) represent a key class of nucleotide analogs with a broad spectrum of antiviral and cytostatic activity.1 Among ANPs, particularly 9-[2- (phosphonomethoxy)ethyl]adenine (PMEA, adefovir, Figure 1) is active against DNA and retroviruses; its prodrug, adefovir dipivoxil, was approved for hepatitis B therapy (Hepsera). 9-(R)-[2-(Phosphonomethoxy)propyl]adenine (PMPA, tenofovir), is a promising anti-HIV drug, its prodrug Viread was approved for treatment of AIDS and chronic hepatitis B. A third type of antiviral compounds is represented...
