                  including salts of such compounds, wherein said compound of Formula IA is                                
                  substantially free of its enantiomer and wherein B is (a) an unsubstituted purine                        
                  moiety, (b) a substituted purine moiety substituted independently at the 2 and/or                        
                  6 and/or 8 position by amino, halogen, hydroxy, alkoxy, alkylamino, dialkylamino,                        
                  aralkylamino, pyrrolidino, morpholino, piperidino, benzoylamino, azido, mercapto                         
                  or alkylthio, or (c) the 8-aza analog thereof, and wherein                                               
                         B is other than a guanine or 2-amino-6-halopurine;                                                
                         R is H; and aryl in aralkylamino is a 6-10C aromatic group.                                       
                         Claims 4, 6, 8, 70, 72, 73, 75, 85, 91, 93 and 94 further limit the                               
                  compound of claim 1.  Claims 12-19 are drawn to a method of preparing the                                
                  compound of claim 1.  Claims 45 through 48, 55, 63 and 65 are drawn to specific                          
                  compounds that fall within the compound of claim 1.
