Synthesis and anti-influenza activity of 2-cyanoethoxy and 2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)ethoxy derivatives of dammarane-type triterpenoids

Abstract

A series of 3-(2-1Н-tetrazol-5-ylethoxy- and 2-1Н-tetrazol-5-ylethoxyimino) derivatives of dammarane triterpenoids was synthesized by azidation of 3-(2-cyanoethoxy- and 2-cyanoethoxyimino)-dammaranes. The anti-influenza activity of the prepared tetrazolyldammaranes and intermediate compounds against influenza virus А H1N1 was tested. A considerable antiviral activity was observed for 20(S)-3-(2-1Н-tetrazol-5-ylethoxyimino)-25,26,27-trinor-20,24-olidedammarane (SI 26).
