 AB    The synthesis of new potential PFA-BCH-189 conjugate analogues is
       described and their molecular structure clearly identified through NMR
       and mass spectra techniques. The anti-HIV-1 activity was determined
       according to the inhibition of syncytium formation in MT-4 cells, while
       the anti-HBV activity was determined in infected duck hepatocytes. Both
       antiviral activities of the PFA-BCH-189 conjugates were much lower than
       those of the parent BCH-189 (2',3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine) (1). Whereas
       a prodrug effect, following cleavage and release of the free BCH-189 and
       PFA, cannot be ruled out, poor cellular permeation of the drug seems to
       be the most likely reason for the reduced activities against HIV and
       DHBV. The presence of the PFA moiety appears to be detrimental for both
       the anti-HIV and anti-DHBV activity of PFA-BCH-189 cases.
