To investigate the design of prodrugs of antiviral nucleosides for targeting to the central nervous system, the bis(4-acyloxybenzyl) esters of the 5'-monophosphate of AZT 5 (R = Me, Et, Pri or But) have been prepared.The reaction of the appropriate bis(4-acyloxybenzyl) N,N-diisopropylphosphoramidite 10 (R = Me, Et, Pri or But) with AZT in the presence of 1H-tetrazole, followed by oxidation of the PIII intermediate with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid gave the required triesters 5 in good yield.The lithium salts of the mono(4-acycloxybenzyl) esters of the 5'-phosphate of AZT 7 (R = Me, Et, Pri or But) were prepared by treatment of the triesters 5 with lithium iodide.In the presence of porcine liver carboxyesterase the triesters 5 and diesters 7 decomposed readily to the 5'-monophosphate of AZT 9.The anti-HIV activities of the triesters 5 and diesters 7 were, with one exception, comparable to that of AZT, but the greater cytotoxicity of certain compounds in particular types of cell significantly reduced their selectivity indices.
