Abstract

2′-Deoxy-2′-β-fluoro-4′-azido-5-fluorouridine, a new pyrimidine nucleoside analogue of azvudine (FNC), was designed and synthesized. The synthesis of this nucleoside analogue was achieved by bromination of 1,3,5-O-tribenzoyl-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-d-arabinofuranoside, followed by reaction with silylated 5-fluorouracil and further modifications of the sugar moiety, in a 7.6% overall yield over nine steps. The product exhibited good antiviral activity against HIV-1 infection in HEK293T cells.

Key words

deoxyfluoroazidofluorouridine - nucleoside analogues - medicinal chemistry - anti-HIV-1 activity

  • 11 The synthesis and anti-HBV activity of 5-halopyrimidine nucleoside analogue II (X = Cl, Br, I) have been described in ref. 6c. In view of the potent anti-HBV activity of compounds IIa and IIc, these two 5-halopyrimidine analogues were selected for anti-HIV-1 and cytotoxicity evaluation in comparison with the target nucleoside 1.
