Nucleosides Nucleotides Nucleic Acids. 2008 Aug;27(8):1001-8. doi: 10.1080/15257770802088803.
A series of novel selenonucleoside analogues with 1,4-oxaselenane as the carbohydrate fragment has been synthesized from their corresponding dimesylated seconucleosides treated with NaHSe solution and subsequent deprotection. The synthesized selenonucleoside analogues were evaluated as potential antitumor agents.
