The synthesis of potential "combined prodrugs" where phosphonoformic acid (PFA) or phosphonoacetic acid (PAA) was attached to the 5'-O or N4 position of 2',3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine (BCH-189) is described. The anti-HIV-1 activity of 11 analogues which included carboxylic ester or phosphoric ester linkages of PFA or PAA to BCH-189 was determined in MT-4 cells. Of these compounds, the IC50 of analogues 3, 4, 6, and 7 ranged from 0.2 to 100 microM, while IC50 for BCH-189 in this system was 0.1 microM. In vitro hydrolysis of the various esters or amides in human plasma indicated that these agents were relatively stable in the presence of plasma esterases with t1/2 values of up to 120 min. Moreover, lipophilicity of these compounds (partition coefficient) was determined in order to establish correlation between lipophilicity and diffusion of BCH-189 analogues into the cells. The active compounds may exert their effects by extracellular or intracellular hydrolysis to the corresponding antiviral agent BCH-189, but intrinsic anti-HIV-1 activity of some of PAA and PFA adducts, themselves, may also be involved.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010746 Phosphonoacetic Acid A simple organophosphorus compound that inhibits DNA polymerase, especially in viruses and is used as an antiviral agent. Phosphonoacetate,Disodium Phosphonoacetate,Fosfonet Sodium,Phosphonacetic Acid,Phosphonoacetate, Disodium
D011355 Prodrugs A compound that, on administration, must undergo chemical conversion by metabolic processes before becoming the pharmacologically active drug for which it is a prodrug. Drug Precursor,Drug Precursors,Pro-Drug,Prodrug,Pro-Drugs,Precursor, Drug,Precursors, Drug,Pro Drug,Pro Drugs
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.

D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups. Relationship, Structure-Activity,Relationships, Structure-Activity,Structure Activity Relationship,Structure-Activity Relationships
D014779 Virus Replication The process of intracellular viral multiplication, consisting of the synthesis of PROTEINS; NUCLEIC ACIDS; and sometimes LIPIDS, and their assembly into a new infectious particle. Viral Replication,Replication, Viral,Replication, Virus,Replications, Viral,Replications, Virus,Viral Replications,Virus Replications
D015497 HIV-1 The type species of LENTIVIRUS and the etiologic agent of AIDS. It is characterized by its cytopathic effect and affinity for the T4-lymphocyte. Human immunodeficiency virus 1,HIV-I,Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1,Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1, Human
D016047 Zalcitabine A dideoxynucleoside compound in which the 3'-hydroxy group on the sugar moiety has been replaced by a hydrogen. This modification prevents the formation of phosphodiester linkages which are needed for the completion of nucleic acid chains. The compound is a potent inhibitor of HIV replication at low concentrations, acting as a chain-terminator of viral DNA by binding to reverse transcriptase. Its principal toxic side effect is axonal degeneration resulting in peripheral neuropathy. 2',3'-Dideoxycytidine,Dideoxycytidine,ddC (Antiviral),HIVID Roche,Hivid,NSC-606170,2',3' Dideoxycytidine,NSC 606170,NSC606170
D017245 Foscarnet An antiviral agent used in the treatment of cytomegalovirus retinitis. Foscarnet also shows activity against human herpesviruses and HIV.

D019259 Lamivudine A reverse transcriptase inhibitor and ZALCITABINE analog in which a sulfur atom replaces the 3' carbon of the pentose ring. It is used to treat HIV disease. 2',3'-Dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine,2(1H)-Pyrimidinone, 4-amino-1-(2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-oxathiolan-5-yl)-, (2R-cis)-,3TC Lamivudine,Lamivudine, (+)-cis-,Lamivudine, (+-)-trans-,BCH-189,Epivir,GR-109714X,GR109714X,Lamivudine, (2S-cis)-Isomer,2',3' Dideoxy 3' thiacytidine,BCH 189,BCH189,GR 109714X,Lamivudine, 3TC
