- Tricyclanos: Conformationally constrained nucleoside analogues with a new heterotricycle obtained from a d-ribofuranose unit
-
A novel type of nucleoside analogue in which the sugar part is replaced by a new tricycle, 3,7,10-trioxa-11-azatricyclo[5.3.1.05,11]undecane has been prepared by substrate-controlled asymmetric synthesis. 1,5-Dialdehydes obtained from properly protected or unprotected uridine, ribothymidine, cytidine, inosine, adenosine and guanosine by metaperiodate oxidation reacted readily with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane to provide the corresponding tricyclic derivatives with three new stereogenic centers. Through a double cyclisation cascade process the tricyclic compounds were obtained in good to high yields, with very high diastereoselectivity. Formation of one stereoisomer, out of the eight possible, was observed in all cases. The absolute configuration of the new stereotriad-containing tricyclic systems was aided by conventional NMR experiments followed by chemical shift calculations using an X-ray crystal structure as reference that was in good agreement with H-H distances obtained from a new ROESY NMR method. The synthesis was compatible with silyl, trityl and dimethoxytrityl protecting groups. A new reagent mixture containing ZnCl2, Et3SiH and hexafluoroisopropanol was developed for detritylation of the acid-sensitive tricyclano nucleosides.

- Anti-flavivirus Activity of Different Tritylated Pyrimidine and Purine Nucleoside Analogues
-
A series of tritylated and dimethoxytritylated analogues of selected pyrimidine and purine nucleosides were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro inhibitory activity against two important members of the genus Flavivirus in the Flaviviridae family, the yellow fever (YFV) and dengue viruses (DENV). Among all compounds tested, the 5′-O-tritylated and the 5′-O-dimethoxytritylated 5-fluorouridine derivatives exerted potency against YFV. Interestingly in the series of purine analogues, the 5′O, N-bis-tritylated fludarabine derivative revealed strong inhibitory activity against DENV at μm concentrations, however significantly weaker potency against YFV.

- 3′-Bromo analogues of pyrimidine nucleosides as a new class of potent inhibitors of mycobacterium tuberculosis
-
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major health problem worldwide. We herein report a new class of pyrimidine nucleosides as potent inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). Various 2′- or 3′-halogeno derivatives of pyrimidine nucleosides containing uracil, 5-fluorouracil, and thymine bases were synthesized and evaluated for antimycobacterial activities. Among the compounds tested, 3′-bromo-3′-deoxy- arabinofuranosylthymine (33) was the most effective antituberculosis agent in the in vitro assays against wild-type M. tuberculosis strain (H37Ra) (MIC 50 = 1 μg/mL) as well as drug-resistant (H37Rv) (rifampicin-resistant and isoniazid-resistant) strains of M. tuberculosis (MIC50 = 1-2 μg/mL). Compound 33 also inhibited intracellular M. tuberculosis in a human monocytic cell line infected with H37Ra, demonstrating higher activity against intramacrophagic mycobacteria (80% reduction at 10 μg/mL concentration) than extracellular mycobacteria (75% reduction at 10 μg/mL concentration). In contrast, pyrimidine nucleosides possessing 5-fluorouracil base were weak inhibitors of M. tuberculosis. No cytotoxicity was found up to the highest concentration of compounds tested (CC50 > 100-200 μg/mL) against a human cell line. Overall, these encouraging results substantiate the potential of this new class of compounds as promising antituberculosis agents.

- Synthesis and anti-HIV activity of 4′-cyano-2′,3′ -didehydro-3′-deoxythymidine
-
A new anti-HIV agent 4′-cyano-2′,3′-didehydro-3′ -deoxythymidine (9) was synthesized by allylic substitution of the 3′,4′-unsaturated nucleoside 14, having a leaving group at the 2′-position, with cyanotrimethylsilane in the presence of SnCl4. Evaluation

- Synthesis of acyclic bis-vinyl pyrimidines: A general route to d4T via metathesis
-
Unsaturated acyclic pyrimidine analogues, 1-{1-[1-(hydroxymethyl)prop-2-enyloxy]prop-2-enyl}uracil, 1-{1-[1-(hydroxymethyl)prop-2-enyloxy]prop-2-enyl}thymine and 1-{1-[1-(hydroxymethyl)prop-2-enyloxy]prop-2-enyl}cytosine having two asymmetric carbon atoms have been prepared in good yield starting from uridine and 5-methyluridine. The bis-vinyl thymine derivative underwent ring closure metathesis to give d4T, thus providing a novel synthesis of this compound.
