Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B)-catalysed regioselective deacetylation of 2′,3′,5′-tri- O-acetyl-1-β- d-arabinofuranosyluracil (1) and 2′,3′,5′-tri- O-acetyl-9-β- d-arabinofuranosyladenine (2) was studied. The choice of the reaction medium allowed the regioselective formation of products bearing different degree of acetylation: in isopropanol, CAL-B catalysed the formation of the corresponding 2′- O-acetylated arabinonucleosides, while hydrolyses afforded the 2′,3′-di- O-acetylated products. In particular, the procedure herein described allows a simple and efficient preparation of the reported vidarabine prodrug 2′,3′-di- O-acetyl-9-β- d-arabinofuranosyladenine, avoiding the utilisation of protective groups. Moreover, to achieve full deacetylation of the assayed substrates, a set of commercial hydrolases and fungal keratinases from Doratomyces microsporus (DMK) and Paecilomyces marquandii (PMK) were tested. While only PMK and DMK catalysed the quantitative complete deacetylation of 1, DMK accomplished full deacetylation of 2 in shorter time than the other assayed enzymes.

9-(β-D-arabinofuranosyl)adenine, also commonly known as Ara-A or vidarabine, esters thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, possess antiviral activity against the HTLV-III/LAV virus implicated in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The invention is related to the use of compounds of formula I for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions useful in the treatment of infections of the HTLV-III/LAV virus in patients.

9-(3-O-Acyl-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)adenine compounds, 9-(2,3-di-O-acyl-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)adenine compounds, and their production by reacting in each case the corresponding 5-silyl ether derivative with a tetraalkylammonium fluoride. The compounds are useful as antiviral agents. The compounds are water-soluble and lipophilic, thereby being adaptable to a wide variety of pharmaceutical formulations.
