Nucleosides. 116. 1-(.beta.-D-Xylofuranosyl)-5-fluorocytosines with a leaving group on the 3' position. Potential double-barreled masked precursors of anticancer nucleosides
摘要:
Syntheses of five pairs of cytosine and 5-fluorocytosinexylofuranosyl nucleosides in which the 3'-hydroxyl group is replaced by Cl, Br, OMs, or OTs are described. Those xylosyl nucleosides with a good leaving group at the 3' position exhibit good inhibitory activity against L5178Y and P815 mouse leukemic cells in vitro at rather low concentrations, and like that of ara-C this cytotoxicity is reversed by 2'-deoxycytidine but not by thymidine. Xylosylcytosines are not active against ara-C resistant lines of L5178Y and P815 cells; however, the corresponding 5-fluorocytosine analogues exhibit significant cytotoxicity against these ara-C resistant leukemic cell lines, and this activity is reversed by thmidine but not by deoxycytidine. These data support the "double-barreled" masked precursor hypothesis in that xylosyl-5-fluorocytosines substituted at the 3' position by a good leaving group exhibit activity akin to that of ara-C in the ara-C sensitive lines, while these nucleosides act as 5-fluoropyrimidines in the ara-C resistant lines.

The four stereoisomeric aldotetroses were accepted with different reactivities by N-acetylneuraminic acid aldolase. C(3)-modified D-mannose and D-glucose derivatives, respectively, failed to undergo enzymatic aldol addition. Based on the observed reactivities of the tested compounds (about 58), a mechanistic scheme is proposed which relates substrate structure, reactivity and stereochemical outcome observed in Neu5Ac aldolase-catalyzed reactions. The condensation products obtained in the L-erythrose and D-threose reactions are side-chain modified sialic acid and D-KDO derivatives, respectively, of biological interest.
