Synthesis and evaluation of anti-tumor activities of N4 fatty acyl amino acid derivatives of 1-β-arabinofuranosylcytosine
摘要:
1-beta-D-Arabinofuranosylcytosine (Ara-C, Cytarabine) is one of the drugs used for acute nonlympbocytic leukemia (ANLL). However, the bioavailability of Ara-C is relatively low due to its low lipophilicity. In order to improve the lipophilicity and bioavailability of Ara-C, a series of N-4 derivatives of Ara-C, i.e., (fatty acid)-(amino acid)-Ara-C analogues, were prepared. The 15 derivatives synthesized were characterized by their melting points, optical rotations and partition coefficients. It was found that the Ara-C derivatives synthesized in this study were more lipophilic than Ara-C as determined by their partition coefficients. Their in vitro cytotoxicity and in vivo anti-tumor activity were determined and compared with that of Ara-C. It was found that the derivatives were more active than Ara-C in Hela cells, but not in HL-60 cells. The in vivo results showed that some of the derivatives were more effective than Ara-C in mice bearing S-180 tumor while others showed a decreased activity in comparison with Ara-C.
