The syntheses of furan and thiophene analogues of tiazofurin (furanfurin and thiophenfurin), respectively) are described.Direct stannic chloride-catalyzed C-glycosylation of ethyl 3-furancarboxylate (6) or ethyl 3-thiophencarboxylate (18) with 1,2,3,5-tetra-O-acetyl-D-ribofuranose gave 2- and 5-glycosylated regioisomers, as a mixture of α- and β-anomers, and the β-2,5-diglycosylated derivatives.Deprotection of ethyl 5-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)furan-3-carboxylate (9β) and ethyl 5-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)thiophene-3-carboxylate (20β) with sodium ethoxide afforded ethyl 5-β-D-ribofuranosylfuran-3-carboxylate (12β) and ethyl 5-β-D-ribofuranosylthiophene-3-carboxylate (23β) which were converted into 5-β-D-ribofuranosylfuran-3-carboxamide (furanfurin, 4) and 5-β-D-ribofuranosylthiophene-3-carboxamide (thiophenfurin, 5) by reaction with ammonium hydroxide.The anomeric configuration and the site of glycosylation were established by 1H-NMR and proton-proton nuclear Overhauser effect difference spectroscopy.The structure of compound 23β was confirmed by X-ray crystallography.Thiophenfurin was found to be cytotoxic in vitro toward murine lymphocytic leukemia P388 and L1210, human myelogenous leukemia K562, human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60, human colon adenocarcinoma LoVo, and B16 melanoma at concentrations similar to that of tiazofurin.In the same test furanfurin proved to be inactive.Thiophenfurin was found active in vivo in BD2F1 mice inoculated with L1210 cells with a percent T/C of 168 at 25 mg/kg.K562 cells incubation with thiophenfurin resulted in inhibition of inosine monophosphate (IMP) dehydrogenase (63percent) and increase in IMP pools (6-fold) with a concurrent decrease in GTP levels (42percent).Incubation of adenosine-labeled K562 cells with thiazofurin, thiophenfurin, and furanfurin resulted in a 2-fold higher NAD analogue formulation by thiophenfurin, and furanfurin resulted in a 2-fold higher NAD analogue formulation by thiophenfurin than by tiazofurin.Furanfurin was converted to the NAD analogue with only 10percent efficiency.The results obtained support the hypothesis that the presence of S in the heterocycle in position 2 with respect to the glycosidic bond is essential for the cytotoxicity and IMP dehydrogenase activity of tiazofurin, while the N atom is not.
