Syntheses of [2-2H]-5-ethynyl-1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl) imidazole-4-carboxamide and 5-ethynyl-1-([5-3H]-β-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazole-4- carboxamide (EICAR)

Metallation of 5-ethynyl-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-β-D-ribofura nosyl)imidazole -carboxamide (1) using n-BuLi, deuteration with deuterium oxide and removal of the tert-butyldimethylsilyl protecting groups using tetrabutylammonium fluroide yielded [2-2H]-5-ethynyl- 1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide (5a, 75 atom % deuterium). Regiospecific deprotection of the masked aldehyde N,N'-diphenylethylenediamino synthon 14 using DIAION PK2I2 ion-exchange resin (H+ form) yielded the aldehyde derivative (15). Reduction of the aldehyde moiety of 15 using excess [3H]NaBH4 gave the carbinol product 17. Removal of the ribofuranosyl 2,3-isopropylidene protecting group from 17 using 90% trifluoroacetic acid afforded 5-ethynyl-1-([5-3H]-β-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide (18. 19% chemical yield, > 99% radiochemical purity, specific activity 1.56 Ci/mmol).

Disclosed are imidazole derivatives represented by formula [I]: STR1 wherein R is a hydrogen atom or STR2 wherein R2 is a hydrogen atom or a hydroxy protecting group, R2 protecting either a single hydroxy or two hydroxies together when R2 is a hydroxy protecting group, and R3 is a hydrogen atom or OR2 ; A is CONH2 or CN; and R1 is a hydrogen atom, lower alkyl, hydroxy lower alkyl, or phenyl. Also disclosed are six processes for producing these novel compounds among which a typical process comprises reacting a starting imidazole compound having a halogen at the 5-position thereof with an acetylene derivative to alkynylate the 5-position. Furthermore, the compounds having remarkable antitumor activities and therefore can provide novel antitumor agents.
