Abstract

L-nucleosides are conformationally constrained by at least one additional ring formed by a bridge connecting at least two atoms within a sugar moiety of the nucleoside. While a single additional ring is formed by bridging C 1 -C 4 atoms, two additional rings are formed by bridging both C 1 -C 2 , and C 3 -C 4 atoms, or C 1 -C 3 and C 2 -C 4 atoms by bridges having the general structure A—B—Z. The conformationally constrained nucleosides may be incorporated into oligonucleotides and dinucleotides, and it is contemplated that compositions including the conformationally constrained nucleosides may have superior viral inhibitory or antineoplastic properties.
