Herein we describe the synthesis of lipophilic triphosphate prodrugs of abacavir, carbovir, and their 1′,2′‐cis‐substituted carbocyclic analogues. The 1′,2′‐cis‐carbocyclic nucleosides were prepared by starting from enantiomerically pure (1R,2S)‐2‐((benzyloxy)methyl)cyclopent‐3‐en‐1‐ol by a microwave‐assisted Mitsunobu‐type reaction with 2‐amino‐6‐chloropurine. All four nucleoside analogues were prepared from their 2‐amino‐6‐chloropurine precursors. The nucleosides were converted into their corresponding nucleoside triphosphate prodrugs (TriPPPro approach) by application of the H‐phosphonate route. The TriPPPro compounds were hydrolyzed in different media, in which the formation of nucleoside triphosphates was proven. While the TriPPPro compounds of abacavir and carbovir showed increased antiviral activity over their parent nucleoside, the TriPPPro compounds of the 1′,2′‐cis‐substituted analogues as well as their parent nucleosides proved to be inactive against HIV. 相似文献
Nucleoside analogues are extensively used as antiviral and anticancer agents. Their efficiency is dependent on their metabolism into the ultimately active nucleoside triphosphates. Often one step or even more in the metabolism of the nucleoside to the triphosphate is inefficient. To overcome this hurdle, prodrugs of the nucleotides are needed. Bis(acyloxybenzyl)nucleoside diphosphates have been reported by us as a first example of an efficient nucleoside diphosphate prodrug (DiPPro nucleotides). Here, the synthesis and the properties of bis(benzoyloxybenzyl)nucleoside diphosphates of the nucleoside analogues d4T and AZT are disclosed. The synthesis was achieved by using a phosphoramidite/oxidation route. In chemical hydrolysis studies, most of the compounds formed a nucleoside diphosphate. This was confirmed in CEM cell extracts, although the prodrug stability in extracts was lower than in phosphate buffer. Furthermore, the stability and the amount of nucleoside diphosphate formed were dependent on the substituent in the benzoyl moiety. Some of the compounds were more active against HIV in thymidine kinase‐deficient CEM/TK? cells than were d4T or AZT. 相似文献
X‐ray crystallographic study of 2,2′,2″,2′′′,4,4′,4″,4′′′,6,6′,6″,6′′′‐dodecanitro‐1,1′ : 3′1″ : 3″,1′′′‐quaterphenyl (DODECA) has been carried out. Nonbonding interatomic distances of oxygen atoms inside of all the nitro groups are shorter than those corresponding to the intermolecular contact radii for oxygen. By means of the DFT B3LYP/6‐31(d, p) method a difference of 136 kJ mol−1 between the X‐ray and DFT structures of DODECA was found. The bearer of the highest initiation reactivity in its molecule in solid phase should be the nitro group at 4′′′‐position, in contrast to those at 2′‐ or 2″‐positions in its isolated molecule. The most reactive nitro group in the DODECA molecule can be well specified by the relationship between net charges on nitro groups and charges on their nitrogen atoms, both of them for the X‐ray structure. The 15N chemical shift, corresponding to this nitro group for the initiation by impact and shock, correlates very well with these shifts of the reaction centers of the other six “genuine” polynitro arenes. 相似文献
An X‐ray crystallographic study of 2,2″,4,4′,4″,6,6′,6″‐octanitro‐1,1′ : 3′,1″‐terphenyl (ONT) has been carried out. The dihedral angles between benzene rings vary from 84.9° to 89.4°. Nonbinding interatomic distances of oxygen atoms inside all the nitro groups are shorter than the intermolecular contact radii for oxygen. On the basis of the DFT B3LYP/6‐31(d, p) method it was found that the difference between the X‐ray structure in the solid phase and DFT result for the gas phase is 98 kJ mol−1, and the bearer of the highest initiation reactivity of the ONT molecule in the solid phase should be the nitro group at 4″‐position, in contrast to those at 4′‐ or 6′‐position that play this role in the isolated molecule. It has been stated that the nitro groups at the reaction centers of the ONT molecule are relatively well specified by their 15N NMR chemical shifts. 相似文献
A series of sugar‐modified derivatives of cytostatic 7‐heteroaryl‐7‐deazaadenosines (2′‐deoxy‐2′‐fluororibo‐ and 2′‐deoxy‐2′,2′‐difluororibonucleosides) bearing an aryl or heteroaryl group at position 7 was prepared and screened for biological activity. The difluororibonucleosides were prepared by non‐ stereoselective glycosidation of 6‐chloro‐7‐deazapurine with benzoyl‐protected 2‐deoxy‐2,2‐difluoro‐D ‐erythro‐pentofuranosyl‐1‐mesylate, followed by amination and aqueous Suzuki cross‐couplings with (het)arylboronic acids. The fluororibo derivatives were prepared by aqueous palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reactions of the corresponding 7‐iodo‐7‐deazaadenine 2′‐deoxy‐2′‐fluororibonucleoside 20 with (het)arylboronic acids. The key intermediate 20 was prepared by a six‐step sequence from the corresponding arabinonucleoside by selective protection of 3′‐ and 5′‐hydroxy groups with acid‐labile groups, followed by stereoselective SN2 fluorination and deprotection. Some of the title nucleosides and 7‐iodo‐7‐deazaadenine intermediates showed micromolar cytostatic or anti‐HCV activity. The most active were 7‐iodo and 7‐ethynyl derivatives. The corresponding 2′‐deoxy‐2′,2′‐difluororibonucleoside 5′‐O‐triphosphates were found to be good substrates for bacterial DNA polymerases, but are inhibitors of human polymerase α. 相似文献
Bioreversible protection of the β‐phosphate group of nucleoside diphosphates (NDPs) as bis(acyloxybenzyl)phosphate esters is presented. To investigate the structure–activity relationship of these potential NDP prodrugs (DiPPro drugs) a series of DiPPro compounds was synthesized bearing fatty acids of various lengths and d4T as a model nucleoside. For synthesis of the lipophilically modified diphosphate group, preformed phosphoramidites were allowed to react with nucleotides, and the β‐PIII moiety was subsequently oxidized. The chemical and enzymatic stability of these prodrugs was studied in different media such as phosphate buffer (pH 7.3) or CEM cell extracts. In all media, the hydrolysis rate was clearly dependent on the acyl moiety and decreased with increasing alkyl chain length. The compounds showed a markedly lower half‐life in cell extracts than in pH 7.3 phosphate buffer due to the presence of enzyme‐catalyzed cleavage. In all media, the DiPPro compounds released d4T diphosphate (d4TDP) as the main product beside d4TMP. In antiviral assays, the compounds proved to be at least as potent as d4T against HIV‐1 and 2 in wild‐type CEM/0 cells. As a proof of concept, compounds with longer acyl residues showed very good anti‐HIV activities in thymidine‐kinase‐deficient cells (CEM/TK?), indicating their ability to penetrate cell membranes and the delivery of phosphorylated metabolites. 相似文献
2′‐Fluoro‐2′‐deoxyguanosine has been reported to have potent anti‐influenza virus activity in vitro and in vivo. Herein we describe the synthesis and biological evaluation of 6‐modified 2′‐fluoro‐2′‐deoxyguanosine analogues and their corresponding phosphoramidate ProTides as potential anti‐influenza virus agents. Whereas the parent nucleosides were devoid of antiviral activity in two different cellular assays, the 5′‐O‐naphthyl(methoxy‐L ‐alaninyl) ProTide derivatives of 6‐O‐methyl‐2′‐fluoro‐2′‐deoxyguanosine, 6‐O‐ethyl‐2′‐fluoro‐2′‐deoxyguanosine, and 2′‐deoxy‐2′‐fluoro‐6‐chloroguanosine, and the 5′‐O‐naphthyl(ethoxy‐L ‐alaninyl) ProTide of 6‐O‐ethyl‐2′‐fluoro‐2′‐deoxyguanosine displayed antiviral EC99 values of ~12 μM . The antiviral results are supported by metabolism studies. Rapid conversion into the L ‐alaninyl metabolite and then 6‐modified 2′‐fluoro‐2′‐deoxyguanosine 5′‐monophosphate was observed in enzymatic assays with yeast carboxypeptidase Y or crude cell lysate. Evidence for efficient removal of the 6‐substituent on the guanine part was provided by enzymatic studies with adenosine deaminase, and by molecular modeling of the nucleoside 5′‐monophosphates in the catalytic site of a model of ADAL1, thus indicating the utility of the double prodrug concept. 相似文献
Analysis of the recently solved X‐ray crystal structures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ribonucleotide reductase I (ScRnr1) in complex with effectors and substrates led to the discovery of a conserved water molecule located at the active site that interacted with the 2′‐hydroxy group of the nucleoside ribose. In this study 2′‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐2′‐deoxyadenosine 1 and the 5′‐diphosphate derivative 2 were designed and synthesized to see if the conserved water molecule could be displaced by a hydroxymethylene group, to generate novel RNR inhibitors as potential antitumor agents. Herein we report the synthesis of analogues 1 and 2 , and the co‐crystal structure of adenosine diphosphate analogue 2 bound to ScRnr1, which shows the conserved water molecule is displaced as hypothesized.相似文献
It's alarming : Bacterial alarmone guanosine 5′‐diphosphate 3′‐diphosphate (ppGpp), which is a key regulatory molecule that controls the stringent response, also exists in chloroplasts of plant cells. Cross‐linking experiments with 6‐thioguanosine 5′‐diphosphate 3′‐diphosphate (6‐thioppGpp) and chloroplast RNA polymerase indicate that ppGpp binds the β′ subunit of plastid‐encoded plastid RNA polymerase that corresponds to the Escherichia coli β′ subunit.
A novel asymmetric [4+2] annulation of vinyl ketones with oxindole‐derived α,β‐unsaturated imines has been developed in the presence of a multifunctional thiourea‐phosphine catalyst derived from a natural amino acid, providing the first phosphine‐catalyzed enantioselective synthesis of 2′,3′‐dihydro‐1′H‐spiro[indoline‐3,4′‐pyridin]‐2‐ones in good yields with excellent stereoselectivities under mild conditions.
The synthesis of hitherto unknown pyrrolo[2,1‐f][1,2,4]triazine C‐nucleosides is described. Structural variations (chlorine, bromine, iodine, and cyano groups) were introduced at position 7 of 4‐aza‐7,9‐dideazaadenine. In addition, pyrrolo[2,1‐f][1,2,4]triazine C‐nucleosides bearing a 2′‐deoxy‐, 2′,3′‐dideoxy‐, and 2′,3′‐dehydrodideoxyribose moiety were also prepared. Among these analogues, the pyrrolo[2,1‐f][1,2,4]triazine C‐ribonucleosides with either a hydrogen atom or cyano group at position 7 of the nucleobase displayed potent cytotoxic activity in a panel of various cancer cell lines. 相似文献
This paper describes the synthesis of 3,3′bis(2,2′,4,4′,6,6′-hexanitrostilbene) (5). Based on the Ullmann reaction we prepared the title compound in nitrobenzene by using 3-chloro 2,2′,4,4′,6,6′-hexanitroztilbene (4) as the starting material and copper powder as the catalyst. (4) was reacted with hydrazine, not to yield a desired product, azo-3,3′bist(2,2′,4,4′,6,6′-hexanitrostilbene.) but to form a well-known explosive, 2,2′,4,4′,6,6′-hexanitrostibene (6). Differential scanning calorimetrical analysis has shown that (5) begins to decompose at the temperature of 298°C. 相似文献
A variety of substituted 2,2′‐bipyridines were synthesized by a 1,2‐bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe)/cobalt chloride hexahydrate (CoCl2⋅6 H2O)/zinc‐catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction of diynes and nitriles, with all reactions exhibiting exclusive regioselectivity. Thus, symmetrical and unsymmetrical 1,6‐diynes and 2‐cyanopyridine reacted in the presence of 5 mol % of dppe, 5 mol % of CoCl2⋅6 H2O and 10 mol % of zinc powder to provide the corresponding 2,2′‐bipyridines. Under identical reaction conditions, 1‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1,6‐diynes and nitriles reacted smoothly with exclusive regioselectivity to produce 2,2′‐bipyridines in good yield. 2,2′‐Bipyridines were also obtained by the double [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction of 1,6,8,13‐tetraynes with nitriles. Similarly, 2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridines were synthesized from 1‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1,6‐diyne and 2‐cyanopyridine. The regiochemistry observed can be explained by considering the electronic nature of cobaltacyclopentadiene intermediates and nitriles. A survey of the exclusive regiochemical trend gives reasonable credence to the synthetic potential of the present method. 相似文献
