Syntheses et Activites Biologiques de Nouvelles (E)-Alcenyl-5 Desoxy-2′ Uridines

Abstract
(E) 5-Alkenyl 2′-deoxyuridines were synthesized with moderate to high yields by the palladium catalyzed coupling of alkenyl-zirconium reagents with 0–3′, 5′-his (trimethylsilyl) deoxyuridine in T H F. Some of these 5-alkenyl-dUrd analogues, i.e. the 1-decenyl (5g) and 2- (1-hydroxycyclopentyl) ethenyl (5f) derivatives, inhibited murine L1210 cell growth at a concentration of about 4 μg/ml, whereas the 5-chloro-1-pentenyl (5c), 5-cyano-1-pentenyl (5d), 5-hexyn-1-enyl (5e) and 2-(1-hydroxycyclopentyl) ethenyl (5f) were inhibitory towards herpes simplex and vaccinia virus within the concentration range of 2–60 μg/ml. However, none of the newly synthesized 5-alkenyl-dUrd analogues proved selective in its antiviral action.
