Abstract
A number of new derivatives of monoterpenoid with a para-menthane framework 3-methyl-6-(prop-1-en-2- yl)cyclohex-3-ene-1,2-diol (-)-3 were synthesized. The antiviral activity of (-)-3 and its derivatives against the pandemic influenza virus A/California/07/09 (H1N1)v was studied in vitro. Compound (-)-3 was found to be active against this virus (selectivity index 7.5); for mononicotinate (+)-6 the selectivity index was 17. The absolute configuration of compound 6 was shown to be critical for its antiviral activity.
