- Synthesis of certain 6-(arylthio)uracils as potential antiviral agents
-
A series of 6-(Arylthio)uracils have been prepared via condensation of 6-chlorouracil or 5-ethyl-6-chlorouracil with the corresponding thiopnenol derivatives in pyridine or ethanolic potassium hydroxide. The synthesized compounds were tested for their antiviral activity. Some of the 5-ethyl-6-(arylthio)uracil derivatives 10a-g showed moderate activities against hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and HIV-1 virus.

- A simple and convenient synthesis of HEPT analogues via a one-pot reduction - Sulfenylation reaction
-
The one-pot reduction - sulfenylation of 5-alkyl-6-chlorouracils (1) with diaryl disulfides (2) and sodium borohydride in methanol was carried out to afford 1-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-6-(phenylthio)thymine HEPT analogues in good to excellent yields.

- Synthesis and anti-HIV activity of novel N-1 side chain-modified analogs of 1-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-6-(phenylthio)thymine (HEPT)
-
A series of 33 N-1 side chain-modified analogs of 1-[(2- hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-6-(phenylthio)thymine (1, HEPT) were synthesized and evaluated for their anti-HIV-1 activity. In particular, the influence of substitution of the terminal hydroxy group of the acyclic structure of HEPT and the structural rigidity of this side chain were investigated. Halo (7, 8), azido (9), and amino (10-15) derivatives were synthesized from HEPT via the p-tosylate derivative 6. Acylation of the primary amine 15 afforded the amido analogs 16-20. The diaryl derivatives 26-29 were prepared by reaction of HEPT, or of the 6-(2-pyridylthio) analog 23, with diaryl disulfides in the presence of tri-n-butylphosphine. Compounds 39-41, in which the N-1 side chain is rigidified by incorporation of an E-configured double bond, were obtained by palladium(0)-catalyzed coupling of several different 6- (arylthio)uracil derivatives (37, 38) with allyl acetates 33. Compounds 13, 40a,c,d,f, and 41, incorporating an aromatic ring at the end of the acyclic side chain, were found to be more potent than the known diphenyl-substituted HEPT analog BPT (2), two of them, 40c,d, being 10-fold more active.
