Synthesis of 3′-azido-4′-ethynyl-3′,5′-dideoxy- 5′-norarabinouridine: A new anti-HIV nucleoside analogue
Amin, Mahmoud A.
, p. 1703 - 1708 (2011/04/18)
3′-Azido-4′-ethynyl-3′,5′dideoxy-5′- norarabinouridine 10 was synthesized from commercial uridine 1 in which the key step is the opening of protected 2′,3′-epoxyuridine derivative 7 by sodium azide and the hydroxymethyl at 4-position of the ribose ring are replaced by ethynyl group.
Preparation and cleavage reactions of 3′-thiouridylyl-(3′→5′)-uridine

3′-Thiouridylyl-(3′→5′)-uridine [(Us)pU] 3 is prepared by coupling together the disulfide 14 and the 5′-H-phosphonate 18, and then removing the protecting groups. (Us)pU 3 readily undergoes cleavage in 0.05 mol dm-3 sodium glycinate buffer (pH 10.06) at 50 °C to give, in the first instance, uridine 4 and 3′-thiouridine 2′,3′-cyclic phosphorothioate 21; in glacial acetic acid at 30 °C, it rapidly undergoes cleavage in essentially the same way. The behaviour of (Us)pU 3 is compared with that of uridylyl-(3′→5′)-uridine (UPU) 1a under the same basic and acidic reaction conditions. (Us)pU 3 and 3′-thiouridine 2′,3′-cyclic phosphorothioate 21 are both substrates for ribonuclease A; (Us)pU 3 is a substrate for Crotalus adamanteus snake venom phosphodiesterase but not for calf spleen phosphodiesterase.
