A general and efficient approach was developed for the introduction of S-functionality at the C-5 position of cytosine and uracil nucleosides and their analogues. The key step is a palladium-catalyzed C-S coupling of the corresponding 5-bromo nucleoside derivative and alkyl thiol. The butyl 3-mercaptopropionate coupling products were further converted to the corresponding disulphides, the stable precursors of 5-mercaptopyrimidine nucleosides. the Partner Organisations 2014.

In order to study the structure-acivity relationships of L-oxathiolanyl nucleosides as potential anti-HIV agents, a series of enantiomerically pure L-oxathiolanyl pyrimidine and purine nucleosides were synthesized and evaluated for anti-HIV-1 activity in human peripheral blood mononuclear (PBM) cells.The key intermediate 8 was synthesized starting from L-gulose via 1,6-thiaanhydro-L-gulopyranose.The acetate 8 was condensed with thymine, 5-substituted uracils and cytosines, 6-chloropurine, and 6-chloro-2-fluoropurine to give pyrimidine and purine nucleosides.Upon evaluation of these final nucleosides, the 5-fluorocytosine derivative 51 was found to be the most potent compound among those tested.In the case of 5-substituted cytosine analogues, the antiviral potency was found to be in the following decreasing order: cytosine (β-isomer) > 5-iodocytosine (β-isomer) > 5-fluorocytosine (α-isomer) > 5-methylcytosine (α-isomer) > 5-methylcytosine (β-isomer) > 5-bromocytosine (β-isomer) > 5-chlorocytosine (β-isomer).Among the thymine, uracil, and 5-substituted uracil derivatives, thymine (α-isomer) and uracil (β-isomer) derivatives exhibited moderate anti-HIV activity.In the purine series, the antiviral potency is found to be in the following decreasing order: adenine (β-isomer) > 6-chloropurine (β-isomer) > 6-chloropurine (α-isomer) > 2-NH2-6-Cl-purine (β-isomer) > guanine (β-isomer) > N6-methyladenine (α-isomer) > N6-methyladenine (β-isomer).The cytotoxicity was also determined in human PBM cells as well as Vero cells.None of the synthesized nucleosides was toxic up to 100 μ in PBM cells.
