- Synthesis and evaluation of 5-substituted 2′-deoxyuridine monophosphate analogues as inhibitors of flavin-dependent thymidylate synthase in mycobacterium tuberculosis
-
A series of 5-substituted 2′-deoxyuridine monophosphate analogues has been synthesized and evaluated as potential inhibitors of mycobacterial ThyX, a novel flavin-dependent thymidylate synthase in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A systematic SAR study led to the identification of compound 5a, displaying an IC50 value against mycobacterial ThyX of 0.91 μM. This derivative lacks activity against the classical mycobacterial thymidylate synthase ThyA (IC50 > 50 μM) and represents the first example of a selective mycobacterial FDTS inhibitor.

- Synthesis of 5-radioiodoarabinosyl uridine analog for probing the HSV-1 thymidine kinase gene
-
Tumor cells transduced with herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene have been intensively applied to the field of positron emission tomography via imaging of its substrate. As a pilot synthesis approach, a facile preparation of 5-[125I]iodoarabinosyl uridine starting from commercially available uridine is reported herein.

- A mild and efficient methodology for the synthesis of 5-halogeno uracil nucleosides that occurs via a 5-halogeno-6-azido-5,6-dihydro intermediate
-
A mild and efficient methodology for the synthesis of 5-halogeno (iodo, bromo, or chloro) uracil nucleosides has been developed. 5-Halo-2'-deoxyuridines 4a-c (84-95%), 5-halouridines 7a-c (45-95%), and 5-haloarabinouridines 8a-c (65-95%) were synthesized in good to excellent yields by the reaction of 2'-deoxyuridine (2), uridine (5) and arabinouridine (6), respectively with iodine monochloride, or N-bromo (or chloro)succinimide, and sodium azide at 25-45°C. These C-5 halogenation reactions proceed via a 5-halo-6-azido-5,6-dihydro intermediate (3), from which HN3 is eliminated, to yield the 5-halogeno uracil nucleoside. The 5-halo-6-azido-5,6-dihydro intermediate products (10a, 10b) could be isolated from the reaction of 3',5'-di-O-acetyl-2'-deoxyuridine (9) with iodine monochloride or N-bromosuccinimide and sodium azide at 0°C. The isolation of 10a, 10b indicates that the C-5 halogenation reaction proceeds via a 5-halo-6-azido-5,6-dihydro intermediate.

- Syntheses of 1-(β-D-Arabinofuranosyl)-pyrimidines
-
New synthetic methods of 1-(β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-pyrimidines are described. 1-(β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-uracil, 1-(β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-5-fluorouracil, 1-(β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-thymine, and 1-(β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-cytosine can be obtained in a high yield by the splitting of the anhydrobond in 2,2'-anhydropyrimidines in dipolar aprotic solvents, such as HMPT, DMF, and DMSO, respectively, in the presence of activated elemental copper.Unlike the formation of cyclopyrimidines ribonucleosides are directly transformed to the corresponding arabinofuranosyl derivatives by the reaction with diphenylcarbonate and NaHCO3 in the presence of copper.The reaction proceeds probably via an intermediate formation of the cycloproduct.Further aspects on the mechanism are described.
