Various O-alkyl derivatives of 2′-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (FUdR) were synthesized and their antitumor activities in mice bearing sarcoma 180 (s.c.-p.o.) were evaluated in terms of the ED50 values (mg/kg/d). Most of these compounds were superior to FUdR in antitumor activity. In particular, the antitumor activity of 3′-O-(p-chlorobenzyl)-FUdR (3e) (ED50 = 0.87 mg/kg/d) was as much as 100 times that of FUdR (ED50 = 84 mg/kg/d). Further, various 5′-O-aminoacyl derivatives of 3e were synthesized and evaluated in terms of ED50 value and therapeutic index (T.I.). Both the ED50 value (0.41 mg/kg/d) and the T.I. (4.18) of 3′-O-(p-chlorobenzyl)-5′-O-glycyl-FUdR hydrochloride (6a) were significantly improved, compared with those of 3e and FUdR. FUdR plasma concentration after a single p.o. dosing of 6a was maintained for as long as 24 h.
