Abstract
This review will describe the recent advances in the field of aza-C-nucleosides with a particular emphasis on immucillins and related compounds. The review will cover both chemical and biological aspects concerning their preparation and/or occurrence in Nature as well as their biological properties which include glycosidase, glycosyl transferase, and nucleoside hydrolase and phosphorylase inhibition, among others. These enzymatic inhibitory properties are the basis for the potential use of the title compounds in viral and parasitic infections, cancer and genetic disorders.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
