Regioselective alkylation of 2-thiouracils 1a-c and 4-thiouracils 7a,b with 2,3-O-isopropylidene-2,3-dihydroxypropyl chloride (2) afforded 2-[[(2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl) methyl]thio]pyrimidin-4(1H)-ones 3a-c and 4-[[(2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl]thio] pyrimidin-2(1H)-ones 8a,b, respectively. Further alkylation with 2 and/or 2,3-O-isopropylidine-1-O-(4-toluenesulfonyl)-glycerol (4) gave the acyclo N-nucleosides 5a-c and 9a,b whose deprotection afforded 6a-c and 10a,b. 2-(Methylthio)pyrimidin-4(1H)-ones 11a-c and 4-(methylthio)pyrimidin-2(1H)-ones 14a,b were treated with 2 and/or 4 to give 12a-c and 15a,b which were deprotected to give 13a-c and 16a,b. Pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dithiones 17a-c were treated with two equivalents of 2 to give 2,4-bis[[(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl]thio] pyrimidines 18a-c. Deprotection of compounds 18a-c gave 2,4-bis[(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)thio]pyrimidines 19a-c. The activity of the deprotected nucleosides against Hepatitis B virus was evaluated and showed moderate inhibition activity against HBV with mild cytotoxicity.

D006515 Hepatitis B virus The type species of the genus ORTHOHEPADNAVIRUS which causes human HEPATITIS B and is also apparently a causal agent in human HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA. The Dane particle is an intact hepatitis virion, named after its discoverer. Non-infectious spherical and tubular particles are also seen in the serum.

D000998 Antiviral Agents Agents used in the prophylaxis or therapy of VIRUS DISEASES. Some of the ways they may act include preventing viral replication by inhibiting viral DNA polymerase; binding to specific cell-surface receptors and inhibiting viral penetration or uncoating; inhibiting viral protein synthesis; or blocking late stages of virus assembly.

D013889 Thiouracil Occurs in seeds of Brassica and Crucifera species. Thiouracil has been used as antithyroid, coronary vasodilator, and in congestive heart failure although its use has been largely supplanted by other drugs. It is known to cause blood dyscrasias and suspected of terato- and carcinogenesis.
D015394 Molecular Structure The location of the atoms, groups or ions relative to one another in a molecule, as well as the number, type and location of covalent bonds. Structure, Molecular,Molecular Structures,Structures, Molecular
