Usage

Description

3'-Azido-3'-deoxy-5-Methyuridine, also known as AZT, is a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI) used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. It is a synthetic nucleoside analog that interferes with the replication of the virus by incorporating itself into the growing DNA chain, causing premature termination of the viral DNA synthesis. AZT has been widely used as a key component in combination therapies for HIV/AIDS management.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
3'-Azido-3'-deoxy-5-Methyuridine is used as an antiviral agent for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. It acts as a potent and selective inhibitor of HIV-1 replication by blocking the activity of reverse transcriptase, an enzyme essential for the virus's replication process. This helps in reducing the viral load and slowing down the progression of the disease.
Additionally, AZT is also used as a component in combination therapies, such as highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), which has significantly improved the prognosis and life expectancy of HIV/AIDS patients. The use of AZT in combination with other antiretroviral drugs helps in preventing the development of drug resistance and enhances the overall effectiveness of the treatment.

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of 3'-deoxy-3'-(4-substituted-triazol-1-YL)-5- methyluridine

An efficient protocol has been developed for the synthesis of a small library of 3'-deoxy-3'- (4-substituted-triazol-1-yl)-5-methyluridine using Cu(I)-catalyzed Huisgen-Sharpless-Meldal 1,3- dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 3'-azido-3'-deoxy-5-methyluridine with different alkynes under optimized condition in an overall yields of 76%-92%. Here, the azido precursor compound, i.e., 3'-azido-3'-deoxy-5-methyluridine was chemoenzymatically synthesized from D-xylose in good yield. Some of the alkynes used in cycloaddition reaction were synthesized by the reaction of hydroxycoumarins or naphthols with propargyl bromide in acetone using K2CO3 in excellent yields. All synthesized compounds were unambiguously identified on the basis of their spectral (IR, 1H-, 13C NMR spectra, and high-resolution mass spectra) data analysis.

Synthesis and evaluation of thymidine-5′-O-monophosphate analogues as inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis thymidylate kinase

A number of 2′- and 3′-modified thymidine 5′-O-monophosphate analogues were synthesized as potential leads for new anti-mycobacterial drugs. Evaluation of their affinity for Mycobacterium tuberculosis thymidine monophosphate kinase showed that a 2′-halogeno substituent and a 3′-azido function are the most favorable leads for further development of potent inhibitors of this enzyme.
