Synthesis and in vitro anti-HIV activities of amphiphilic heterodinucleoside phosphate derivatives containing the 2',3'-dideoxynucleosides ddC, AZT and ddI
摘要:
N-4-Palmitoyl-2',3'-dideoxycytidine-5'-hydrogenphosphonate was condensed with 2',3'-dideoxyinosine (ddI) and 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxythymidine (AZT) to the amphiphilic heterodimers 2',3'-dideoxyinosinylyl-(5'-->5')-N-4-palmitoyl-2',3'-dideoxycytidine (2) and 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxythymidylyl-(5'-->5') 2',3'-dideoxycytidine (3) which was also converted to the hydrophilic heterodimer 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxythymidylyl-(5'-->5')-2',3'-dideoxycytidine (3a). The heterodimers exhibit strong activity against HIV wild type and an AZT-resistant virus variant. The anti-HIV activity of 3 combining AZT with pN(4)-pamddC was lower than that of 2'-deoxythymidylyl-(3'-->5')-N-4-palmitoyl-2',3'-dideoxycytidine (4) linking pN(4)-pamddC as the only antiviral monomer unit to the inactive thymidine. It is expected that the anti-HIV activities and selectivities of ddNs can be varied by their dimerization to heterodimers offering the prospect of new therapeutic modalities. (C) Elsevier, Paris.
