The anti-tumor agent gemcitabine hydrochloride, a β-difluoronucleoside, is remarkably stable in the solid state. In 0.1 N HCl solution at 40 °C, deamination of gemcitabine occurs, yielding its uridine analogue. Approximately 86% of the initial gemcitabine remains after 4 weeks under these conditions. Cleavage of the N-glycosidic bond of gemcitabine or conversion to its α-anomer in 0.1 N HCl solution is not observed over a 4- week period. However, this work has shown that gemcitabine hydrochloride anomerizes in 0.1 N NaOH at 40 °C. Approximately 72% of the initial gemcitabine remains after 4 weeks under the basic conditions used. Uridine hydrolysis products are also formed under these conditions. The anomerization reaction, which is unusual under basic conditions, has been confirmed by characterization of the chromatographically isolated α-anomer by NMR and mass spectrometry. A mechanism involving an acyclic intermediate is proposed.
