Coumarin−Purine Ribofuranoside Conjugates as New Agents against Hepatitis C Virus
摘要:
About 3% of world's population is infected by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), for which prophylactic vaccine is not available yet. Nowadays, pegylated interferon-a and ribavirin are commonly used to treat HCV; unfortunately these drugs often produce significant side effects. Upon the desperate need of anti-HCV drugs, a plan to establish a new compound library was set that included leads with high antiviral activity, good hydrophilicity, yet low toxicity. Accordingly, 26 new conjugated compounds were synthesized through the chemical coupling of various 9-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)purine-8-thiones with 3-(chloromethyl)coumarins bearing various substitucnts. A -SCH2- unit was used to link the coumarin and the purine moieties. The three hydroxyl groups at the 2'-, 3'-, and 5'-positions were selectively protected with an acyl or acetal group in these coumarin-purine ribofuranosides. Their anti-HCV and cytostatic determination assays were performed, and the structure activity relationship was established. Three conjugates in the family of 8-(coumarin-3'-yl)methylthio-9-(beta-D-ribofuranos-1 ''-yl)purine possessed an appealing ability to inhibit HCV replication with EC50 between 5.5 and 6.6 mu M and EC90 of similar to 20 mu M. These data in the new compound library provide clues for the future in the development of anti-HCV leads for viral eradication.

Evidence is presented which supports the intermediacy of dipolar Baylis-Hillman-type adducts in the synthesis of coumarin and chromene derivatives from the reaction of 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes with methyl acrylate in the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO).

Abstract Reaction of various 3‐substituted coumarins with nitrogen and carbon nucleophiles appears to involve, in all cases examined, exclusive, direct substitution at the exocyclic C‐1′ electrophilic center.

Reaction of substituted 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes with t-butyl acrylate in the presence of DABCO has been shown to afford isolable Baylis-Hillman adducts, acid-catalysed cyclisation of which affords the corresponding 3-(chloromethyl)coumarins directly and in high yield.
