Synthesis of novel substituted 2-phenylpyrazolopyridines with potent activity against herpesviruses.
2005
Abstract Herpesviruses are a significant source of human disease; amongst these herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) and HSV-2 are very prevalent and cause recurrent infections. We recently identified a pyrazolo[1,5- a ]pyridine scaffold that showed promising activity against HSV-1 and HSV-2 in Vero cell antiviral assays. Here, we describe the synthesis and anti-herpetic activity of several 3-pyrimidinyl-2-phenylpyrazolo[1,5- a ]pyridines with differing 2-phenyl substitution patterns. Approaches to rapidly access a number of analogs with different 2-phenyl substitution patterns are outlined. Several of the compounds described have comparable activity to acyclovir against HSV-1 and HSV-2.
