Provided herein are bridged cyclic phosphates and phosphoramidates (bc-ProTides) of nucleosides, which is a compound, its stereoisomers, isotope-enriched analogs, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, solvates, or crystalline or polymorphic forms thereof, with the following structure: ##STR00001##
These compounds can be used for the treatment of viral infections and/or neoplastic diseases in mammals. By optimizing combinations of Y.sub.2, Y.sub.3, R.sup.0, and M, the cleavability of these compounds as prodrugs can be attuned for different tissue targeting with various functional combinations. Also disclosed are processes and methods for preparation of these compounds.
