Nasal absorption of 2',3'-didehydro-3'-deoxythymidine (D4T) and its esters (5'-acetyl D4T: C2-D4T and 5'-hemisuccinyl D4T: Suc-D4T) was investigated in rats. Bioavailability of D4T following intranasal (i.n.) administration was 98.0%, and the elimination from plasma was as rapid as that following intravenous administration of D4T. There seemed to be complete and rapid absorption of D4T from the nasal cavity. The plasma concentration- time profile of D4T following i.n. administration of C2-D4T was almost the same as that after administration of D4T itself. This suggests that C2-D4T was rapidly absorbed from the nasal cavity, and that some amount of dosing C2-D4T was hydrolyzed to D4T before entering the systemic circulation. In contrast, Suc-D4T showed slower absorption in the i.n. administration, and the plasma D4T level was maintained for a long period.

A series of eleven heterodimers containing both a nucleoside analogue (d4U, d4T) and a non-nucleoside type inhibitor (Trovirdine analogue) were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit HIV replication. Unfortunately, the (N-3)d4U-Trovirdine conjugates (9a-e) and (N-3)d4T-Trovirdine conjugates (10a-f) were found to be inactive suggesting that the two individual inhibitor compounds do not bind simultaneously in their respective sites.

Page column 5, (2008/06/13)
The present invention relates to a process for preparing 5′-acetylstavudine, an intermediate which is useful in the preparation of 2′,3′-didehydro-3′-deoxythymidine, an active principle with antiviral action which is commonly known as stavudine (D4T).

This paper describes a "green" synthesis of 2',3'-unsaturated 2',3'-dideoxynucleosides via an electrochemical reaction. Using this approach d4T, d4U, ddA and ddI can be synthesized in high yields.

We investigated the absorption and transport of 2',3'-didehydro-3'-deoxythymidine (D4T) and its ester prodrugs from the nasal cavity in rats. The absorption of D4T and its acetate (C2-D4T) was rapid and almost complete, although the hemi-succinate (Suc-D4T) was absorbed rather slowly; the plasma concentrations of the prodrug, Suc-D4T, and regenerated D4T remained unchanged throughout the experimental period (180 min). Concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) following intravenous (i.v.) and intranasal (i.n.) administration were also measured. After i.n. administration, drug concentrations were higher in the fraction derived from the subarachnoid space located close to the nasal mucosa than those in the fractions located far from the nasal cavity. This difference was not found following the i.v. administration of the drugs. Following nasal administration, the intact Suc-D4T was found in the CSF at a concentration higher than that of D4T, although transport of the intact prodrug to the CSF was not observed following i.v. adinistration. These results suggest that direct transport of the drugs from the nasal cavity to the CSF significantly contributes to the higher concentrations in CSF of D4T and/or its ester prodrugs, and indicate the possible value of nasal administration for the treatment of patients with AIDS dementia.
Synthesis of 1-(2,3-dideoxy-β-D-glycero-pent-2-enofuranosyl(thymine (d4T; stavudine) from 5-methyluridine

, p. 47 - 58 (2007/10/03)
A practical synthetic method of d4T (3) from 5-methyluridine (2a) was developed. The Marumoto-Mansuri method was modified using 2',3'-O-methoxyethylidene-5-methyluridine (10) as an intermediate to afford 1-(3,5-di-O-acetyl-2-bromo-2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)thymine (6a) in high yield with less formation of byproducts. The reaction mechanism was also discussed.
Prodrugs of 2',3'-didehydro-3'-deoxythymidine (D4T): Synthesis, antiviral activity, and rapid pharmacokinetic evaluation

, p. 339 - 343 (2007/10/02)
A series of 5'-derivatives and modified pyrimidine analogues of 2',3'- didehydro-3'-deoxythymidine (d4T, stavudine, 1) were synthesized to determine their potential as oral prodrugs of d4T. Utilizing a screen developed for the rapid evaluation of a variety of prodrugs in mice, it was determined that 5'- acetate 2 provided comparable plasma levels of d4T after oral administration of the prodrug to that when d4T was administered alone. The relative oral bioavailability of methoxy acetate 3 and cyclohexyl carbonate 5 was 79 and 41%, respectively. Dihydropyridine ester 6 did not provide detectable levels of d4T up to 1 h after oral administration of 6. Thiopyrimidines 8 and 9, as well as aminopyrimidine 10 also failed to provide measurable levels of d4T after oral administration. 5'-Derivatives 3, 5, and 6 showed similar activity to that of d4T against HIV and MuLV, as did 5'-benzoyl-4-thio derivative 8. However, the corresponding 4-thio 5'-alcohol 9 was inactive.
Prodrugs of 2',3'-didehydro-3'-deoxythymidine

, p. 1232 - 1236 (2007/10/02)
Six ester prodrugs of 2',3'-didehydro-3'-deoxythymidine (D4T) were synthesized, and their physicochemical properties were evaluated. Marked differences were observed. All of the prodrugs were chemically stable within the pH range 2-7. Hydrolysis of these esters was observed in all cases for four rat enzyme systems (plasma, liver, duodenum, and kidney), with D4T being regenerated. D4T or the prodrug was administered orally to rats, and the plasma concentrations of D4T and a corresponding prodrug were measured. The half-life of D4T after intravenous administration was 35.9 min. The half- life calculated from the terminal phase and the maximum concentration in plasma following oral administration of D4T were 35.9 min and 48.4 μM, respectively. After oral prodrug administration (with water or olive oil as a solvent), though none of the prodrugs was detected in plasma except for 5'- hemisuccinyl D4T and 5'-hemiglutaryl D4T with olive oil as a solvent, retention time of plasma D4T concentration was extended and the elevated D4T concentration in plasma decreased.
