[Directed synthesis of 2',5'-oligoadenylates with increased stability towards phosphodiesterases].

Phosphodiesterase stability of synthetic analogs of 2',5'-oligoadenylates, the mediators of antiviral and antiproliferative action of interferons was analysed. The analogs with a 3'-terminal acyclic nucleoside residue were prepared. These analogs were treated with NIH3T3 cell lysate, mice liver homogenate and snake venom phosphodiesterase. All analogs have demonstrated a high stability as compared with the natural 2',5'-oligoadenylate and its 3'-deoxyderivative. The possible biological activity of these stable analogs of 2',5'-oligoadenylates is discussed.
