Abstract

Purine nucleosides that are modified in the base or the furanose moiety and carbocyclonucleosides or acyclonucleosides often present antiviral activity. Their preparation can involve biocatalytic procedures, including use of deaminating enzymes of the purine cycle such as adenosine deaminase (ADA) and adenylic acid deaminase (AMPDA). These enzymes, that are able to catalyze the hydrolytic deamination of various purine nucleosides and analogues, can be actually considered as valuable biocatalysts in nucleoside chemistry. Applications to the chemo-enzymatic preparation and transformation of compounds endowed with antiviral activity will be reviewed and discussed.
