Tricyclic nucleosides incorporating the 9-oxo-imidazo [1,2-a]purine (1,N2-ethenoguanine) system, natural prototypes of which occur in tRNA(Phe) as nucleosides of the wyosine series, were used for synthetic, structural and biological purposes. 1,N2-(Prop-1-ene-1,2-diyl)guanosine derivatives used as intermediates allowed to enforce on guanosine the substitution at the N-3 position and at the N2 exo-amino group, not possible to be performed directly. Wyosine and 2'-deoxywyosine together with 4,5'-anhydro-4-desmethylwyosine and its congeners were used as, respectively, 100% anti and 100% syn conformation standards in a new graphical method for the syn-anti conformational analysis of nucleosides by 1D 1H NOE difference spectroscopy. Substitution at the appended third ring allowed to modify the biological and physical properties of antiviral agents acyclovir and ganciclovir, e.g. to develop their fluorescent analogues.

Quantum dots (QDs) have shown promising potential to many biomedical and biological applications, mainly in drug delivery or activation and cellular imaging. These semiconductor nanoparticles, QDs, whose particle size is in the range of 2-10 nanometer with unique photo-chemical and -physical properties that are not possessed by any other isolated molecules, have become one of the distinct class of imaging probes and worldwide platforms for manufacturing of multifunctional nanodevices. In this chapter, properties, applications of QDs, and importance in the biomedical field especially in drug delivery is presented.

Fluorinated nucleoside analogues have attracted much attention as anticancer and antiviral agents and as probes for enzymatic function. However, the lack of direct synthetic methods, especially for 2′,3′-dideoxy-2′,3′-difluoro nucleosides, hamper their practical utility. In order to design more efficient synthetic methods, a better understanding of the conformation and mechanism of formation of these molecules is important. Herein, we report the synthesis and conformational analysis of a 2′,3′-dideoxy-2′,3′-difluoro and a 2′-deoxy-2′-fluoro uridine derivative and provide an insight into the reaction mechanism. We suggest that the transformation most likely diverges from the SN1 or SN2 pathway, but instead operates via a neighbouring-group participation mechanism.
