Synthesis of novel 4′-C-methyl-pyrimidine nucleosides and their biological activities
摘要:
Two novel 4'-C-methylnucleosides, 4'-methylBVDU 9 and 4'-methylBVaraU 10, were synthesized. The farmer was derived from 3',5'-di-O-acetyl-2'-deoxy-4'-C-methyluridine 12, and the latter was produced via glycosylation between 4-C-methyl-D-ribose derivative 11 and a silylated bromovinyl uracil. 4'-MethylBVDU 9 exhibited particularly potent anti-varicella-zoster virus (VZV) activity in vitro.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 4′-C-Methyl Nucleosides
摘要:
A series of 2'-deoxy, 2',3'-unsaturated and 2',3'-dideoxynucleoside analogues, which have an additional methyl group at the 4'-position, have been synthesized. When evaluated for their inhibitory activity against HIV in MT-4 cell, 2'-deoxy-4'-C-methyl nucleosides exhibited potent activity.
Starting from available ribose-building blocks, the 4 '-C-methyl-, 4 '-C-ethyl- and the new 4 '-C- propyl-substituted deoxyuridines were synthesized. Afterwards we converted 4 '-C-alkylated-2'- deoxyuridines into the corresponding 4 '-C-alkylated-5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridines 3a-c and those in turn into the 4 '-C-alkylated-5-iodo-2'-deoxycytidines 4a-c.
