Potential inhibitors of nucleotide biosynthesis. 1. Nitrosoureidonucleosides. 2

Abstract: Several nitrosoureidonucleosides (9a, 9b, 11a, 11b, 18 and 20) designed as inhibitors of enzymes that metabolize purine and pyrimidine nucleotides have been prepared and their chemical and biological properties studied. The low level of biological activity observed may be due to the unexpected stability of these nitrosoureas compared to biologically active compounds such as N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU), N,N'-bis(2-chloroethyl)-N'-nitrosourea (BCNU), and N,N'-dicyclohexyl-N-nitrosourea (DCyNU).

“…Diphenylphosphorylazide, previously applied in the synthesis of uridine-5′-carboxylic acid amides, resulted in low yields. 43 Therefore, we examined a series of coupling reagents based on 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, which have been described in the literature as powerful tools for amide synthesis. 44 Among these, benzotriazol-1-yl-oxy-trispyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP) had been successfully applied to the preparation of adenosine-5′-carboxamides.…”

“…IR spectra were recorded on a Research Series FT-IR using KBr disks in the range 4000-500 cm À1 . The compounds [Pd(CH 3 )Cl-(COD)] [52], 1-(2-aminoethyl)-3-ethylurea [53] and N-(n-propyl)-2-pyridylmethanimine (PyPr) [54] were synthesised according to previously reported procedures.…”

“…The positioning of the nitrosourea group at either the 3‘- or 5‘-positions required a series of protection and deprotection steps. A rationale for the synthesis of the N -nitrosoureido nucleosides was their potential as active, site-directed irreversible enzyme inhibitors. , The N -methylnitrosoureido function was chosen 532 because it would be expected to have greater carbamoylating activity than the N -(chloroethyl)nitrosoureido moiety. It was thought 532 that the 3‘-deoxy-3‘- N -methylnitrosoureido nucleosides could either inhibit the nucleotide-metabolizing enzymes or be phosphorylated to the corresponding nucleotides which could act as enzyme inhibitors.…”
