Part One, entitled, Potential Inhibitors of Inosine Monophosphate (IMP) Dehydrogenase: Synthesis and Stereochemical Assignments for a Class of C-Nucleosides, concerns the synthesis, stereochemical assignments, and biological evaluation of a pair of ..cap alpha.., ..beta..-D-arabinofuranosyl analogues of tiazofurin. The target nucleosides were synthesized from 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-1-O-(p-nitrobenzoyl)-D-arabinofuranose. Stereochemical assignments in the series were made on the basis of /sup 1/H and /sup 13/C NMR spectroscopy, two-dimensional (2D FT) NMR, as well as by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. In Part Two, entitled, Substrates of Inhibitors of Enzymes of the Phosphatidylinositol Pathway: Analogues of myo-Inositol, A number of deoxy- and deoxyhalogenocyclitols were synthesized as potential substrates or inhibitors of the primary enzymes of the phosphatidylinositol pathway. Part Three, Synthesis of (2'-/sup 18/O)- and (3'-/sup 18/O)-Adenosine and Ara-A as Well as an Investigation of Their /sup 18/O-Induced /sup 13/C NMR Chemical Shifts, involves the synthesis and characterization of the title compounds.
