Acyclic nucleoside phosphonates with 5-azacytosine base moiety substituted in C-6 position
摘要:
Two methods for preparation of 6-substituted derivatives of anti DNA-viral agent 1-(S)-[3-hydroxy-2-(phosphonomethoxy)propyl]-5-azacytosine (HPMP-5-azaC) were developed: (1) ammonia mediated ring-opening reaction of diisopropyl esters of HPMP-5-azaC (4) to carbamoylguanidine derivatives followed by ring-closure reaction with orthoesters and (2) condensation reaction of 6-substituted 5-azacytosines with diisopropyl (1S)-[2-hydroxy-1-tosyloxymethyl)ethoxy]methylphosphonate (15). Deprotection of diisopropyl esters to free phosphonic acids was performed with bromotrimethylsilane in acetonitrile followed by hydrolysis. In contrast to parent compound HPMP-5-azaC, a substantial decrease of antiviral activity in case of 6-substituted analogues occurred. Surprisingly, N-3 isomer of 6-methyl-HPMP-5-azaC in the form of isopropyl ester revealed activity against RNA viruses (Sindbis virus). (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
2-Amino-4,6-bis[(phosphonomethoxy)alkoxy]pyrimidines bearing two equal or different achiral or chiral phosphonoalkoxy chains have been prepared either by aromatic nucleophilic substitution of 2-amino-4,6-dichloropyrimidine or by alkylation of 4,6-dihydroxy-2-(methylsulfanyl)pyrimidine with appropriate phosphonate-bearing building block. Alkylation of 4,6-dihydroxy-2-(methylsulfanyl)pyrimidine proved to be the method of choice for efficient preparation of variety of bisphosphonates. The enantiomeric purity of selected compounds was determined by capillary electrophoresis. Antiviral activity of bisphosphonates is discussed. (C) 2008 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
