Synthesis, base-catalyzed hydrolytic reactivity, and anticancer evaluation of O-aryl phosphorodiamidates as a novel class of pro(phosphorodiamidic acid mustards)
Abstract:Bis(2-chloroethyl)phosphoramidic dichloride [MP(O)Cl2, M = N(CH2CH2Cl)2] has been used as the starting material for the synthesis of O-aryl phosphorodiamidates having the general structure MP(O)(NHR)OAr: 9, R = H, Ar = 4-NO2C6H4; 10, R = H, Ar = C6F5; 11, R = C6H5, Ar = C6F5; 12, R = 4-MeC6H4, Ar = C6F5; and 13, R = 4-EtOC6H4, Ar = C6F5. The phosphorodiamidic chloride precursor to 13 (14) was also isolated. Kinetics for the base-catalyzed hydrolysis of compounds 9--13 were investigated by UV and NMR methods an… Show more
“…Studies of such prodrugs by Zon et al (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8) have included labile precursors of the wellknown anticancer agent cyclophosphamide (I) (9). Since I functions as a prodrug (2,9), these in uiuo precursors of cyclophosphamide may be viewed as "pro-prodrugs."…”
