The substraterecognition of Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B) in the acylation of nucleosides was revealed through rational substrate engineering for the first time. CAL-B displayed lower activities and excellent 5-regioselectivities (94 to 99 %) in the acylation of ribonucleosides 1f–1j as compared to those in the acylation of 2-deoxynucleosides 1a– 1e. The excellent regioselectivities might be

The substraterecognition of Pseudomonas cepacia lipase in the acylation of nucleosides was investigated by means of rational substrate engineering for the first time. P. cepacia lipase displayed excellent 3′-regioselectivities (96 to >99%) in the lauroylation of 2′-deoxynucleosides 1a–1e, while low to good 3′-regioselectivities (59–89%) in the lauroylation of ribonucleosides 1f–1j. It might be due

The invention relates to β-L-N4-hydroxycytosine nucleo-sides, pharmaceutical agents comprising same, and to the use of said β-L-N4-hydroxycytosine nucleosides and pharmaceutical agents in the prophylaxis or therapy of an infection caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The invention also relates to a method for the preparation of said β-L-nucleoside analogs.
The activity of porcine liver esterase towards diesters of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine with saturated aliphatic acids including acetic, propionic, butyric, hexanoic, octanoic, decanoic and dodecanoic acids was investigated. The susceptibility of the 3', 5'-diesters increased as the acyl chain was lengthened up to octanoyl, but further increase in the acyl chain length resulted in a sharp decrease in the susceptibility. The susceptibility of 3'-and 5'-monoesters increased as the chain was lengthened to decanoyl and slightly decreased on going to dodecanoyl. These results suggest that the higher antitumor activity of longer alkyl chain diesters of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine is partly due to their slow rates of hydrolysis by non-specific esterase.
