Reactions of O-t-butyldimethylsilyl-protected thymidine, 2′-deoxyuridine, and 3′-azidothymidine (AZT) with (benzotriazol-1-yloxy)tris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) leads to activation of the C4 amide carbonyl by formation of putative O4-(benzotriazol-1-yl) derivatives. Subsequent substitution with alkyl and aryl amines, thiols, and alcohols leads to facile functionalization at this position. Reactions with amines and thiols were conducted either as a two-step, one-pot transformation, or as a one-step conversion. Reactions with alcohols were conducted as two-step, one-pot transformations. In the course of these investigations, the formation of 1-(4-pyrimidinyl)-1H-benzotriazole-3-oxide derivatives from the pyrimidine nucleosides was identified. However, these too underwent conversion to the desired products. Products obtained from AZT were converted to the 3′-amino derivatives by catalytic reduction. All products were assayed for their abilities to inhibit cancer cell proliferation and for antiviral activities. Many were seen to be active against HIV-1 and HIV-2, and one was active against herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1).

Several flaviviruses, such as the yellow fever virus and the dengue virus cause severe and potentially lethal infection in man. Following up on our initial hit 3′,5′-bistritylated uridine 1, a series of alkylated nucleoside analogues were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antiviral activities against dengue fever virus and yellow fever virus. Hereto, alkyl and aryl groups were attached at various positions of the sugar ring combined with subtle variation of the heterocyclic base. Among the new series of derivatives, 3′,5′-di-O-trityl-5-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine (39) was the most efficient in this series and inhibited both yellow fever virus and dengue virus replication with a 50% effective concentration (EC50) of ～1 μg/mL without considerable cytotoxicity. The other fluorinated derivatives proved more toxic. Almost all diphenylmethylated pyrimidine nucleosides with 3′,5′-di-O-benzhydryl-2′-deoxyuridine (50) as the example were endowed with strong cytotoxic effects down to 1 μg/mL.

Immobilized and fully protected oligodeoxynucleotides containing a 4-(1,2,4-triazolyl)thymidine residue at a predetermined position were prepared according to a well-established phosphite triester methodology using 2-cyanoethyl phosphoramidites of a 4-(1,2,4-triazolyl)-substituted thymidine and standard protected nucleosides.Treatment of the immobilized oligomer with methanol, ethanol or n-propanol in the presence of DBU at 50 deg C gave the corresponding oligonucleotides containing 4-methoxy, 4-ethoxy or 4-n-propoxythymidine residue.
