Abstract

Compounds useful as antiviral agents against DNA containing viruses, such as herpes group viruses, are disclosed. The compounds are selected from the group consisting of: ##STR1## and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates. Pharmaceutical compositions containing compounds represented by Formula 1.0 are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of treating a viral infection using compounds represented by Formula 1.0. A process for making compounds of Formula 1.0 from the appropriate 3-oximino-quinolin-2,4(1H)-dione (Formula 2.5) is also disclosed. The process comprises reductively hydrolyzing an appropriate 3-oximino-quinolin-2,4(1H)-dione (Formula 2.5) in a mixture with a hydrogenation catalyst and an acidic solvent mixture.
