In addition to its therapeutic value as a chemotherapy drug, gemcitabine is of ongoing interest to the scientific community for its broad-spectrum antiviral activity. Herein the synthesis of 4′-methoxy- and 4′-fluoro-substituted gemcitabine analogues along with their phosphoramidate prodrugs is described. Among these derivatives, 4′-fluorogemcitabine proved to be active against varicella zoster virus (VZV, TK+ strain) with an EC50 of 0.042 μM and produced significant cytotoxicity (CC50 = 0.11 μM). Upon derivatization of this trifluoro nucleoside as its prodrug, decreased anti-VZV activity was observed, but with a concomitantly improved selectivity index (SI = 36). When this prodrug was tested against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), its antiviral activity (EC50 = 0.73 μM) was comparable to or slightly lower than its cytotoxic concentration in measurements of cell growth and cell morphology, respectively.

Through systematical comparison of various N4-protected cytosine derivatives in the glycosylation step of gemcitabine synthesis, highly beta-stereoselective and high yielding TBAI catalyzed N-glycosylation was achieved with N4-Bz cytosine and anomeric mixture of 2,2‘-difluororibose mesylate donor. The subsequent global deprotection gave gemcitabine efficiently. Meanwhile, the anomeric chloride intermediate and fluoride-displaced side products of this N-glycosylation were identified, too. This new glycosylation method reveals the importance of N4-protection in the stereoselective preparation of pyrimidine nucleoside, also provides a potential alternative to current industrial process to gemcitabine.
