- Synthesis and Antiviral Activity of Novel Fluorinated 2′,3′ -Dideoxynucleosides
-
A series of 5-(trifluoroethoxymethyl)-2′,3′-dideoxyuridines and 5-[bis(trifluormethoxy)-methyl]-2′,3′-dideoxyuridines have been prepared and screened for antiviral activity. The conformations of these compounds are discussed on the bases of NOE studies and the MO calculations. Modelling and NOE studies suggest both syn- and anti conformations for these 5-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxymethyl)- and 5-[bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)-methyl]-derivatives. The NOE parameters are also suggested to be more attributable to the nature of the fluorine atom than to structural or conformational changes. Compounds 17, 26 and 30 showed some activity in anti-HIV-1 and anti-HIV-2 assays, but the compounds were devoid of activity against HSV and human rhinovirus. The compounds tested exhibited low cytotoxicity and were inactive against a bank of cancer cells in vitro.

- New synthesis of 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxynucleosides.
-
The 3'-iodonucleoside 4 and the 3'-O-methylsulfonylthymidine 9 have been synthesized by condensation of silylated uracils 2 with methyl 5-O-tert-butyldiphensilyl-2,3-dideoxy-3-iodo-D-threo-pentofuran oside (3) and methyl 5-O-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl-2-deoxy-3-methylsulfonyl-D-erythro- pentofuranoside (8), respectively. The nucleoside 4 and 9 produced the corresponding 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxynucleosides 5 in an elimination reaction on treatment with sodium methoxide. The compounds 5b showed no antiviral activity against HIV-1.
