- Thiophene-expanded guanosine analogues of Gemcitabine
-
The chemotherapeutic drug Gemcitabine, 2′,2′-difluoro-2′-deoxycytidine, has long been the standard of care for a number of cancers. Gemcitabine's chemotherapeutic properties stem from its 2′,2′-difluoro-2′-deoxyribose sugar, which mimics the natural nucleoside, but also disrupts nucleic acid synthesis, leading to cell death. As a result, numerous analogues have been prepared to further explore the biological implications for this structural modification. In that regard, a thieno-expanded guanosine analogue was of interest due to biological activity previously observed for the tricyclic heterobase scaffold. Several analogues were prepared, including the McGuigan ProTide, however the parent nucleoside exhibited the best chemotherapeutic activity, specifically against breast cancer cell lines (89.53% growth inhibition).

- Stereoselective N-glycosylation with N4-acyl cytosines and efficient synthesis of gemcitabine
-
Through systematical comparison of various N4-protected cytosine derivatives in the glycosylation step of gemcitabine synthesis, highly beta-stereoselective and high yielding TBAI catalyzed N-glycosylation was achieved with N4-Bz cytosine and anomeric mixture of 2,2‘-difluororibose mesylate donor. The subsequent global deprotection gave gemcitabine efficiently. Meanwhile, the anomeric chloride intermediate and fluoride-displaced side products of this N-glycosylation were identified, too. This new glycosylation method reveals the importance of N4-protection in the stereoselective preparation of pyrimidine nucleoside, also provides a potential alternative to current industrial process to gemcitabine.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of prodrugs of 2-fluoro-2-deoxyribose- 1-phosphate and 2,2-difluoro-2-deoxyribose-1-phosphate
-
We report in this Letter the synthesis of prodrugs of 2-fluoro-2- deoxyarabinose-1-phosphate and 2,2-difluoro-2-deoxyribose-1-phosphate. We demonstrate the difficulty of realising a phosphorylation step on the anomeric position of 2-deoxyribose, and we discover that introduction of fluorine atoms on the 2 position of 2-deoxyribose enables the phosphorylation step: in fact, the stability of the prodrugs increases with the degree of 2-fluorination. Stability studies of produgs of 2-fluoro-2-deoxyribose-1-phosphate and 2,2-difluoro-2-deoxyribose-1-phosphate in acidic and neutral conditions were conducted to confirm our observation. Biological evaluation of prodrugs of 2,2-difluoro-2-deoxyribose-1-phosphate for antiviral and cytotoxic activity is reported.

We report the synthesis of a series of novel 2′-deoxy-2′, 2′-difluoro-5-halouridines and their corresponding phosphoramidate ProTides. All compounds were evaluated for antiviral activity and for cellular toxicity. Interestingly, 2′-deoxy-2′,2′-difluoro-5-iodo- and -5-bromo-uridines showed selective activity against feline herpes virus replication in cell culture due to a specific recognition (activation) by the virus-encoded thymidine kinase.

- Inactivation of lactobacillus leichmannii ribonucleotide reductase by 2',2'-difluoro2'-deoxycytidine s'-triphosphate: Covalent modification
-
Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) from Lactobacillus leichmannii, a 76 kDa monomer using adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) as a cofactor, catalyzes the conversion of nucleoside triphosphates to deoxynucleotides and is rapidly ( 3H]- and [5-3H]F2CTP were synthesized and used independently to inactivate RNR. Sephadex G-50 chromatography of the inactivation mixture revealed that 0.47 equiv of a sugar was covalently bound to RNR and that 0.71 equiv of cytosine was released. Alternatively, analysis of the inactivated RNR by SDS-PAGE without boiling resulted in 33% of RNR migrating as a 110 kDa protein. Inactivation of RNR with a mixture of [1'-3H]F2CTP and [1'-2H]F 2CTP followed by reduction with NaBH4, alkylation with iodoacetamide, trypsin digestion, and HPLC separation of the resulting peptides allowed isolation and identification by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS) of a 3H/2H-labeled peptide containing C731 and C736 from the C-terminus of RNR accounting for 10% of the labeled protein. The MS analysis also revealed that the two cysteines were cross-linked to a furanone species derived from the sugar of F2CTP. Incubation of [1-3H]F2CTP with C119S-RNR resulted in 0.3 equiv of sugar being covalently bound to the protein, and incubation with NaBH4 subsequent to inactivation resulted in trapping of 2'-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine. These studies and the ones in the preceding paper (DOI: 10.1021/bi9021318) allow proposal of a mechanism of inactivation of RNR by F2CTP involving multiple reaction pathways. The proposed mechanisms share many common features with F2CDP inactivation of the class I RNRs.

- Synthesis of 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-benzoyl-2,2-difluoro-D-ribose from D-glucose and D-mannose. A formal synthesis of gemcitabine
-
The title compound 2-Deoxy-3,5-di-O-benzoyl-2,2-difluoro-D-ribose (17), was synthesised from D-glucose and from D-mannose. The key steps of the synthesis from D-glucose are obtaining the 3,3-difluoropyranose 9 by reacting the ulose 7 with DAST, and their conversion into the difluorofuranoside 17 by a degradative reaction of diol 16. Starting from D-mannose the synthesis obtains the 3,3-difluoroglycal 22 by reaction of the ulose 18 with DAST and oxidation-elimination of selenoglycoside 21. Ozonolysis of 22 gives the difluorofuranose 17.

- Stereospecific synthesis of 2-deoxy-2,2-difluororibonolactone and its use in the preparation of 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluoro-β-D-ribofuranosyl pyrimidine nucleosides: The key role of selective crystallization
-
A stereospecific synthesis of 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluorocytidine (gemcitabine), a potential anticancer agent, is described. The stereoselectivity was accomplished via two diastereoselective crystallizations, i.e. the crystallization of the key intermediate, difluororibonolactone 2a, and the crystallization of the hydrochloride salt of gemcitabine 16b from the anomeric mixture. Because of the availability of 2a in large quantities, other 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluoropyrimidine nucleosides such as 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluorouridine (19) were synthesized for structure-activity relationship studies.
