Abstract
Various 2′, 3′ -dideoxy and carbocyclic pyrimidine nucleosides, and their corresponding 3-(3-oxoprop-1-enyl) derivatives, have been synthesized and evaluated against murine L1210 and P388 leukemias and Sarcoma 180 and human CCRF-CEM lymphoblastic leukemia. Among the compounds tested, 3-(3-oxoprop-1-enyl)-3′ -fluoro-3′ -deoxythymidine (17), 3-(3-oxoprop-1-enyl)-3′ -azido-3′ -deoxythymidine (15) and 3-(3-oxoprop-1-eny!)-(+)-1-[(lα, 3β, 4α)-3-hydroxy-4-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentyl]-5-methyl-2,4 (lH,3H)pyrimidinedione (6) were found to be the most active with ED50, values of 0.5,0.2,0.1, and 0.3 μM; 1.2, 0.5,1.0 and 1.0 μM; and 0.8,0.7,1.5, and 3.0μM, respectively. Our preliminary findings indicate that the 3-(3-oxoprop-1-enyl) derivative of carbocyclic thymidine is approximately 7 times more active than the 3-(3-oxoprop-1-enyl) derivative of carbocyclic thymine riboside against L1210 leukemia cells in vitro, with ED50 values of 0.8 μM and 5.5 μM, respectively. These findings suggest that the cytotoxicity of these compounds not only is dependent upon the 3-(3-oxoprop-1-enyl)-substituted group, but also may vary with the sugar moiety.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
