Abstract

Electrostatic potential distribution, 3-D electron density shapes, and conformational analysis were used to correlate anti-HIV activity or inactivity of AZT, (-) carbovir, oxetanocin A, and 16 isomeric dideoxynucleosides of different families. The structure-activity profile discovered is significant and is expected to contribute to the development of a much needed predictive QSAR analysis in this area.
