Tuberculosis (TB) is a major health problem worldwide. We herein report a new class of pyrimidine nucleosides as potent inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). Various 2′- or 3′-halogeno derivatives of pyrimidine nucleosides containing uracil, 5-fluorouracil, and thymine bases were synthesized and evaluated for antimycobacterial activities. Among the compounds tested, 3′-bromo-3′-deoxy- arabinofuranosylthymine (33) was the most effective antituberculosis agent in the in vitro assays against wild-type M. tuberculosis strain (H37Ra) (MIC 50 = 1 μg/mL) as well as drug-resistant (H37Rv) (rifampicin-resistant and isoniazid-resistant) strains of M. tuberculosis (MIC50 = 1-2 μg/mL). Compound 33 also inhibited intracellular M. tuberculosis in a human monocytic cell line infected with H37Ra, demonstrating higher activity against intramacrophagic mycobacteria (80% reduction at 10 μg/mL concentration) than extracellular mycobacteria (75% reduction at 10 μg/mL concentration). In contrast, pyrimidine nucleosides possessing 5-fluorouracil base were weak inhibitors of M. tuberculosis. No cytotoxicity was found up to the highest concentration of compounds tested (CC50 > 100-200 μg/mL) against a human cell line. Overall, these encouraging results substantiate the potential of this new class of compounds as promising antituberculosis agents.

In order to obtain agents with therapeutic indices superior to those of AZT, FLT, or D4T, several analogues of anti-HIV-1 nucleosides were synthesized. These include 2',3'-dideoxy-2',3'-difluoro-5-methyluridine (13), its arabino analogue 19, arabino-5-met
