Derivatives of the 2‘-deoxynucleoside of furo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-2(3H)-one with long-chain alkyl (or 4-alkylphenyl) substituents at C6 exhibit remarkable anti-VZV (varicella-zoster virus) potency and selectivity, and analogous 2‘,3‘-dideoxynucleoside derivatives show anti-HCMV (human cytomegalovirus) a...
