5'-O-D- and L-amino acid derivatives and 5'-O-(D- and L-amino acid methyl ester phosphoramidate) derivatives of vidarabine (ara-A) were synthesized as vidarabine prodrugs. Some compounds were equi- or more potent in vitro than vidarabine against two pox viruses and their uptake by cultured cells was improved compared to the parent drug. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
