L-N-MCd4T (1) has been synthesized as a potent anti-HIV agent starting from (R)-epichlorohydrin using tandem alkylation, chemoselective reduction of ester in the presence of lactone functional group, RCM reaction and Mitsunobu reaction as key steps and was found to be a very potent anti-HIV-1 (EC50 = 6.76 µg mL−1) agent without cytotoxicity up to 100 µg mL−1, indicating that the anti-HIV-1 activity found is similar to that of ddI (EC50 = 4.95 µg mL−1), which is used clinically for the treatment of AIDS patients.
L-N-MCd4T (1) 作为一种高效的抗HIV药物,从(R)-表
氯醇出发,通过串联烷基化、在
乳酸酯功能团存在下的酯的选择性还原、环化加成反应和Mitsunobu反应等关键步骤合成,并被发现是一种极为高效的抗HIV-1(
EC50 = 6.76 µg mL−1)药物,即使在100 µg mL−1的浓度下也没有细胞毒性,表明其抗HIV-1活性与临床用于治疗AIDS患者的ddI(
EC50 = 4.95 µg mL−1)相当。
