Synthesis and biological activity of various 3'-azido and 3'-amino analogues of 5-substituted pyrimidine deoxyribonucleosides. 1983

T S Lin, and Y S Gao, and W R Mancini

Various new 5-substituted 3'-azido- and 3'-amino derivatives of 2'-deoxyuridine and 2'-deoxycytidine have been synthesized and biologically evaluated. Among these compounds, 3'-amino-2',3'-dideoxy-5-fluorouridine (3), 3'-amino-2',3'-dideoxycytidine (7a), and 3'-amino-2',3'-dideoxy-5-fluorocytidine (7c) were found to be the most active against murine L1210 and sarcoma 180 neoplastic cells in vitro, with an ED50 of 15 and 1 microM, 0.7 and 4 microM, and 10 and 1 microM, respectively. The 3'-azido derivatives, 2 and 6c, were less active in comparison with their 3'-amino counterparts. In addition, the 5-fluoro-3'-amino nucleosides, 3 and 7c, were tested against L1210 leukemia bearing CDF1 mice. Our preliminary findings indicate that compound 7c (6 X 200 mg/kg) was as active as the positive control, 5-fluorouracil (6 X 20 mg/kg), yielding a T/C X 100 of 146 and 129, respectively. However, 3 was found to be inactive in this experiment.

D007939 Leukemia L1210 An experimental LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA of mice. Leukemia L 1210,L 1210, Leukemia,L1210, Leukemia
D003841 Deoxycytidine A nucleoside component of DNA composed of CYTOSINE and DEOXYRIBOSE. Cytosine Deoxyribonucleoside,Cytosine Deoxyriboside,Deoxyribonucleoside, Cytosine,Deoxyriboside, Cytosine
D003842 Deoxycytidine Kinase An enzyme that catalyzes reversibly the phosphorylation of deoxycytidine with the formation of a nucleoside diphosphate and deoxycytidine monophosphate. Cytosine arabinoside can also act as an acceptor. All natural nucleoside triphosphates, except deoxycytidine triphosphate, can act as donors. The enzyme is induced by some viruses, particularly the herpes simplex virus (HERPESVIRUS HOMINIS). EC 2.7.1.74. Kinase, Deoxycytidine
D003857 Deoxyuridine 2'-Deoxyuridine. An antimetabolite that is converted to deoxyuridine triphosphate during DNA synthesis. Laboratory suppression of deoxyuridine is used to diagnose megaloblastic anemias due to vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies. (beta 1-(2-Deoxyribopyranosyl))thymidine
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D000970 Antineoplastic Agents Substances that inhibit or prevent the proliferation of NEOPLASMS. Anticancer Agent,Antineoplastic,Antineoplastic Agent,Antineoplastic Drug,Antitumor Agent,Antitumor Drug,Cancer Chemotherapy Agent,Cancer Chemotherapy Drug,Anticancer Agents,Antineoplastic Drugs,Antineoplastics,Antitumor Agents,Antitumor Drugs,Cancer Chemotherapy Agents,Cancer Chemotherapy Drugs,Chemotherapeutic Anticancer Agents,Chemotherapeutic Anticancer Drug,Agent, Anticancer,Agent, Antineoplastic,Agent, Antitumor,Agent, Cancer Chemotherapy,Agents, Anticancer,Agents, Antineoplastic,Agents, Antitumor,Agents, Cancer Chemotherapy,Agents, Chemotherapeutic Anticancer,Chemotherapy Agent, Cancer,Chemotherapy Agents, Cancer,Chemotherapy Drug, Cancer,Chemotherapy Drugs, Cancer,Drug, Antineoplastic,Drug, Antitumor,Drug, Cancer Chemotherapy,Drug, Chemotherapeutic Anticancer,Drugs, Antineoplastic,Drugs, Antitumor,Drugs, Cancer Chemotherapy
D012510 Sarcoma 180 An experimental sarcoma of mice. Sarcoma 180, Crocker,Crocker Sarcoma 180
D013937 Thymidine Kinase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP and thymidine to ADP and thymidine 5'-phosphate. Deoxyuridine can also act as an acceptor and dGTP as a donor. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 2.7.1.21. Deoxythymidine Kinase,Deoxypyrimidine Kinase,Kinase, Deoxypyrimidine,Kinase, Deoxythymidine,Kinase, Thymidine
