Abstract:
3- beta-D-Ribofuranosyl-6-nitroimidazo- and triazolo[ 4,
5-b]pyridines have been prepared through the chloromercury
compounds and the position of the sugar
residue confirmed by comparison of their UV spectra
with those of authentic 3-methyl-6-nitroimidazo- and
triazolo[4,5-b]pyridines. These compounds do not
show any anticancer or antiviral activity.
