The invention relates to the field of
medicinal chemistry, and particularly discloses
purine compounds as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The
purine compound provided by the invention is a compound as shown in a formula (I) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: # imgabs0 #. The
purine compound disclosed by the invention is designed based on a novel purine skeleton structure, and the anti-
herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) activity of the purine compound is verified through an in-vitro antiviral experiment. Experimental data show that the HSV-1 median inhibitory concentration (EC50) of the series of compounds to HSV-1 is obviously superior to that of a clinical first-line
drug acyclovir, and the series of compounds show better
virus inhibition efficiency on the premise of keeping a similar selectivity index (SI = CC50 / EC50). The technical scheme breaks through the molecular framework limitation of the existing anti-HSV-1 drugs (such as acyclovir,
famciclovir and the like), and has good clinical transformation value.
