Influence of 4'-Substitution on the Activity of Gemcitabine and Its ProTide Against VZV and SARS-CoV-2.

abstract：:With only two new classes of antibiotics developed in the last 40 years, novel antibiotics are desperately needed to combat the growing problem of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug resistant bacteria, particularly Gram-negative bacteria. Described in this letter is the synthesis and antibiotic activity of 1,2,4...
