Phenylselenenyl- and phenylthio-substituted pyrimidines as inhibitors of dihydrouracil dehydrogenase and uridine phosphorylase
摘要:
Lithiation of 5-bromo-2,4-bis (benzyloxy) pyrimidine (3) with n-BuLi at -80 degrees C followed by the addition of diphenyl diselenide or diphenyl disulfide as an electrophile furnished the corresponding 5-(phenylhetera)-2,4-bis(benzyloxy) pyrimidine, which on exposure to trimethylsilyl iodide in CH2-Cl-2 at room temperature yielded the 5-(phenylhetera)uracils in 70-75% yield. Similarly, the 6-(phenylhetera) uracils were prepared from 6-bromo-2,4-bis (benzyloxy) pyrimidine (10). 1-[(2-Hydroxyethoxy)methyl] -5-(phenylselenenyl)uracil (PSAU, 18) and 1-(ethoxymethyl)-5- (phenylselenenyl)uracil (17) were synthesized by the electrophilic addition of benzeneselenenyl chloride to the acyclic uracils under basic conditions. These compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit dihydrouracil dehydrogenase (DHUDase, E.C. 1.3.1.2), orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRTase, E.C. 2.4.2.10), uridine phosphorylase (UrdPase, E.C. 2.4.2.3), and thymidine phosphorylase (dThdPase, E.C. 2.4.2.4). 5-(Phenylselenenyl)uracil (PSU, 6) and 5-(phenylthio)uracil (PTU, 7) inhibited DHUDase with apparent K-i values of 4.8 and 5.4 mu M, respectively. The corresponding 6-analogues, compounds 13 and 14, demonstrated inhibitory activity against OPRTase. PTU as well as PSU and its riboside, 2'-deoxyriboside, and acyclonucleosides were inhibitors of UrdPase, with PSAU (18) being the most potent with an apparent K-i value of 3.8 mu M. None of the compounds evaluated had any effect on dThdPase. Interestingly, most of the compounds showed modest selective anti-human-immunodeficiency-virus activity in acutely infected primary human lymphocytes.
Synthesis of substituted uracils by the reactions of halouracils with selenium, sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen nucleophiles under focused microwave irradiation
Undermicrowaveirradiation, the nucleophilic substitutionreactions of halouracils with selenium, sulfur, oxygen and nitrogen nucleophiles was complete within several minutes with yields up to 99%. The method using microwaveirradiation is superior to those conducted under conventional heating processes.
efficient iodide-catalyzed/hydrogen peroxide mediated sulfenylation and selenylation of unprotected uracil and its derivatives with simple thiols and diselenides was established. This coupling tolerates a broad variety of functional groups to provide diverse 5-sulfur/selenium-substituted uracilderivatives in good to excellent yields (up to 93%).

Abstract An eco-friendly, sustainable and practical method for the efficient preparation of 5-organylselanyl uracils through the electrochemical selenylation of uracils and diorganyl diselenides at room temperature under oxidant- and external electrolyte-free conditions was developed.
simple and efficient electrochemical selenylation of uracils in the presence of NH4I for the synthesis of 5‐selenouracils has been developed. This transformation was performed in the transition metal‐free, oxidant‐free, and air conditions, providing a rapid and practical protocol to 5‐selenouracil derivatives.
