- Synthesis and biological activity of 3'-azido- and 3'-amino substituted nucleoside analogs
-
The product distribution obtained in the reaction of 1-(5-0-trityl-0-mesyl-2-deoxy-β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-2,4-(1H, 3H)-pyrimidinedione with lithium azide in N, N'-dimethylformamide at 100°C depends on the nature of the substituent in 5. The results may be explained by a difference in the acidity of the pyrimidinedione. The reaction of the more acidic nucleosides (X = I, F) appears to proceed preferentially through the 2,3'-anhydro intermediate, whereas for the less acidic products (X = H, CH3) direct nucleophilic displacement by the azide ion predominates. The different 3'-azidfo derivatives were reduced to 3'-amino compounds. All 3'-azido- and 3'-aminopyrimidine nucleosides were tested against herpes simplex virus, vaccinia and vesicular stomatitis virus and on murine L1210 cell growth. None of the substances exhibited significant activity.

- 3'-Amino-2',3'-dideoxyribonucleosides of some pyrimidines: Synthesis and biological activities
-
3'-Amino-2',3'-dideoxyribonucleosides of thymine, uracil, and 5-iodouracil (1-3) were synthesized from the corresponding 2'-deoxyribonucleosides via the threo-3'-chloro and the erythro-3'-azido derivatives. Corresponding aminonucleosides of 5-bromouracil, 5-chlorouracil, and 5-fluorouracil (4-6) were synthesized enzymatically with 3'-amino-2',3'-dideoxythymidine as the aminopentosyl donor and thymidine phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.4) as the catalyst. 3'-Amino-2',3'-dideoxycytidine (7) was synthesized by amination of the 3'-azido precursor of 3'-amino-2',3'-dideoxyuridine. The biological activity of 3'-amino-2',3'-dideoxy-5-fluorouridine (6) was notable among this group of aminonucleosides. It had an ED50 of 10 μM against adenovirus and was not appreciably cytotoxic to mammalian cells in culture. It also had activity against some Gram-positive bacteria but not against a variety of Gram-negative bacteria. The other aminonucleosides (1-5 and 7) lacked or exhibited weak antiviral and antibacterial activities. The only compounds in this group that were appreciably toxic to mammalian cells in culture were the thymidine and deoxycytidine analogues (1 and 7).

- Synthesis and Biological Activity of Various 3'-Azido and 3'-Amino Analogues of 5-Substituted Pyrimidine Deoxyribonucleosides
-
Various new 5-substituted 3'-azido- and 3'-amino derivatives of 2'-deoxyuridine and 2'-deoxycytidine have been synthesized and biologically evaluated.Among these compounds, 3'-amino-2',3'-dideoxy-5-fluorouridine (3), 3'-amino-2',3'-dideoxycytidine (7a), and 3'-amino-2',3'-dideoxy-5-fluorocytidine (7c) were found to be the most active against murine L1210 and sarcoma 180 neoplastic cells in vitro, with an ED50 of 15 and 1 μM, 0.7 and 4 μM, and 10 and 1 μM, respectively.The 3'-azido derivatives, 2 and 6c, were less active in comparison with their 3'-amino counterparts.In addition, the 5-fluoro-3'-amino nucleosides, 3 and 7c, were tested against L1210 leukemia bearing CDF1 mice.Our preliminary findings indicate that compound 7c (6 * 200 mg/kg) was as active as the positive control, 5-fluorouracil (6 * 20 mg/kg), yielding a T/C * 100 of 146 and 129, respectively.However, 3 was found to be inactive in this experiment.
