Abstract:
Two studies, concerning the synthesis of original nucleoside analogs regarded as an application of heterochemistry on thiaazaheterocycle systems from thiaazabutadienes are discussed. The preparation of new N- and C-nucleosides is presented. In the second part, the discovery of aromatic polycyclic derivatives as inhibitors of Tat protein is exposed. The work presented takes into account the participation of African partners in further synthetic research programs carried out in collaboration with the laboratory of Nantes.
