A series of 1,2,4-triazole L-nucleosides were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to stimulate type i cytokine production by activated human T cells in direct comparison to the known active agent ribavirin. Among the compounds prepared, 1-β-L-ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (5, ICN 17261) was found to be the most uniformly potent compound. Conversion of the 3-carboxamide group of 5 to a carboxamidine functionality resulted in 1-β-L- ribofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamidine hydrochloride (10), which induced cytokine levels comparable to 5 for two of the three type 1 cytokines examined. Modification of the carbohydrate moiety of 5 provided compounds of reduced activity. Significantly, ICN 17261 offers interesting immunomodulatory potential for the treatment of diseases where type I cytokines play an important role.

A series of 2',3'-dideoxy-2'-fluoro-L-threo-pentofuranosyl nucleosides has been synthesized as potential antiviral agents. The synthesized compounds were evaluated against HIV-1, HBV, HSV-1, and HSV-2. Among the synthesized analogues, only the cytosine derivative showed moderate antiviral activity against HIV and HBV.
