The title compound was prepared by the isocyanate procedure and the trimethylsilyl method. The measurement of H-1 NMR spectrum of 6-methyl-5-azacytidine (1) revealed a preference of gamma(t) (46%) rotamer around C(5')-C(4') bond, a predominance of N conformation of the ribose ring (K-eq 0.33) and a preference of syn conformation around the C-N glycosyl bond. An analogous measurement of 5-azacytidine has shown a preference of gamma(+) (60%) rotamer around the C(5')-C(4') bond, a predominance of N conformation of the ribose ring (K-eq 0.41) and a preference of anti conformation around the C-N glycosyl bond. 6-Methyl-5-azacytidine (1) inhibits the growth of bacteria E. coli to the extent of 85% at 4000 mu M concentration and the growth of LoVo/L, a human colon carcinoma cell line, to the extent of 30% at 100 mu M concentration but did not inhibit L1210 cells at less than or equal to 100 mu M concentration. 6-Methyl-5-azacytidine (1) exhibited no in vitro antiviral activity at less than or equal to 1 mu M concentration.
