Six types of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) derivatives were synthesized ; namely, 2, 4-di-O-substituted, 2-O-substituted, 4-O-substituted, 1, 3-disubstituted, 1-substituted and 3-substituted compounds. After oral administration of these compounds to rats, the blood levels of 5-FU were determined. Among O-substituted derivatives, a 4-O-substituted derivative was most easily activated to 5-FU and 2-O-substituted derivatives were next most easily activated. Among N-substituted derivatives, acyl and sulfonyl derivatives showed the highest 5-FU releasing abilities and 1-alkoxymethyl substituted derivatives showed low ability. N-Alkyl substituted derivatives were not activated to 5-FU. Several compounds which gave higher blood levels of 5-FU than that obtained with 1-(tetrahydro-2-furyl)-5-fluorouracil (Thf-FU), as well as same related compounds, were selected and their antitumor activities were examined. The 2-O-substituted derivatives, 2-butoxy-5-fluoro-4 (1H)-pyrimidone (11) and 2-benzyloxy-5-fluoro-4 (1H)-pyrimidone (19), were as effective as Thf-FU. The activities of 2, 4-di-O-substituted derivatives, 2, 4-dibutoxy-5-fluoropyrimidine (1) and 2, 4-dibenzyloxy-5-fluoropyrimidine (6), against Ehrlich carcinoma and against sarcoma 180, respectively, were the same as those of Thf-FU. The 1-substituted derivatives, 1-ethoxymethyl-5-fluorouracil (49) and 1-(1-ethoxy-1-phenylmethyl)-5-fluorouracil (50), were found to be as effective as Thf-FU.
合成了六类氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)衍生物,即2,4-二-O-取代、2-O-取代、4-O-取代、1,3-二取代、1-取代和3-取代的化合物。在大鼠口服这些化合物后,测定了5-FU的血药浓度。在O-取代衍生物中,4-O-取代衍生物最容易被激活为5-FU,其次是2-O-取代衍生物。在N-取代衍生物中,酰基和磺酰基衍生物显示出最高的5-FU释放能力,1-烷氧甲基取代衍生物的释放能力较低。N-烷基取代衍生物未被激活为5-FU。选择了几种在血中5-FU水平高于1-(四氢-2-呋喃基)-5-氟尿嘧啶(Thf-FU)的化合物,以及一些相关化合物,并对其抗肿瘤活性进行了检测。2-O-取代衍生物,2-丁氧基-5-氟-4(1H)-嘧啶酮(11)和2-苄氧基-5-氟-4(1H)-嘧啶酮(19),与Thf-FU一样有效。2,4-二-O-取代衍生物,2,4-二丁氧基-5-氟嘧啶(1)和2,4-二苄氧基-5-氟嘧啶(6),对艾氏癌和肉瘤180的活性与Thf-FU相同。1-取代衍生物,1-乙氧甲基-5-氟尿嘧啶(49)和1-(1-乙氧基-1-苯甲基)-5-氟尿嘧啶(50),发现与Thf-FU一样有效。
