Analysis of the solid-state conformations of six active and two inactive anti-human immunodeficiency virus nucleoside analogues is used to correlate conformational features with the relative activities of the compounds. Ten of the 11 observations of the active compounds (3'-azido-3'-deoxythymidine, 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxyuridine, 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxy-5-ethyluridine, 2',3'-dideoxyadenosine, 2',3'-dideoxycytidine, and 3'-deoxythymidine) have C3'-exo sugar ring conformations. The only exception is one of the two molecules of 3'-deoxythymidine. Four have unusual low anti glycosyl link conformations coupled with unusual C3'-exo/C4'-endo sugar ring conformations. The inactive compounds, 2',3'-dideoxyuridine and 3'-(propyl-2-ene)-2',3'-dideoxyuridine, have C3'-endo conformations. The C3'-exo and C3'-endo conformations place C5' in axial and equatorial positions, respectively. This affects the location of the 5'-hydroxyl group in relation to the location of the base. The 5'-hydroxyl group is the site of phosphorylation of the nucleoside and the observation of this conformational preference of the active compounds may be of importance for the development of new nucleosides with activity against human immunodeficiency virus.
