Syntheses of 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl-5-hydroxymethyl-N4-alkylcytosine. 1979

K Ikeda, and T Takeda, and Y Mizuno

Starting from uridine, 1-beta-D-arabinofluranosyl-5-hydroxymethyl-N4-alkylcytosines were prepared via 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyluracil. During the course of this synthetic work, an interesting observation has been made that 5-acetoxy group of 1-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)-5-acetoxymethyluracil and its derivatives was easily displaced at room temperature with alkylamine in methanol, but not in chloroform, to give the corresponding 5-alkylaminomethyl derivatives.

D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D003561 Cytarabine A pyrimidine nucleoside analog that is used mainly in the treatment of leukemia, especially acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia. Cytarabine is an antimetabolite antineoplastic agent that inhibits the synthesis of DNA. Its actions are specific for the S phase of the cell cycle. It also has antiviral and immunosuppressant properties.
