Novel cyclosal nucleotides with reduced inhibitory potency toward human butyrylcholinesterase

Two novel cycloSal-d4T monophosphates (d4TMPs) with increased steric demand have been synthesized via a new synthetic route. While 3-cyclohexyl-cycloSal d4TMP did not show a significantly reduced inhibitory potency toward human butyrylcholinesterase, the opposite was the case for the second novel pronucleotide, bis-(cycloSal-d4TMP).
