Phosphoramidate ProTides of the Anticancer Agent FUDR Successfully Deliver the Preformed Bioactive Monophosphate in Cells and Confer Advantage over the Parent Nucleoside
摘要:
The fluorinated pyrimidine family of nucleosides continues to represent major current chemotherapeutic agents for treating solid tumors. We herein report their phosphate prodrugs, ProTides, as promising new derivatives, which partially bypass the dependence of the current drugs on active transport and nucleoside kinase-mediated activation. They are also resistant to metabolic deactivation by phosphorolytic enzymes. We report 39 ProTides of the fluorinated pyrimidine FUDR with variation in the aryl, ester, and amino acid. regions. Notably, only certain ProTide motifs are successful in delivering the nucleoside monophosphate into intact cells. We also find that the ProTides retain activity in mycoplasma infected cells, unlike FUDR. Data suggest these compounds to be worthy of further progression.

A series of 2'-fluorinated C-nucleosides were prepared and tested for anti-HCV activity. Among them, the triphosphate of 2'-fluoro-2'-C-methyl adenosine C-nucleoside (15) was a potent and selective inhibitor of the NS5B polymerase and maintained activity against the S282T resistance mutant. A number of phosphoramidate prodrugs were then prepared and evaluated leading to the identification of the 1-aminocyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid isopropyl ester variant (53) with favorable pharmacolcinetic properties including efficient liver delivery in animals.
