  • In this study investigated the effect of cytosine deaminase activity from Aspergillus fumigatus IFO 5840 by cytosine analogues. The results were as follows. The enzyme was strongly inibited by 2-thiouracil, 2-thiocytosine, 6-azacytosine and 2-mercaptopyrimidine. The half inhibitory concentration(HIC) of 2-thiocytosine and 6-azacytosine on cytosine deaminase was 0.80mM and 1.15mM, respectively. The enzyme was inhibited at a certain level by addition of 2-thiocytosine immediately, but was maintained to some extend under the inhibited state by 6-azacytosine in proportion to reaction time. Regardless of kinds of substrate such as cytosine and 5-fluorocytosine, 2-thiocytosine and 6-azacytosine showed action as inhibitors, 2-thiocytosine inhibited cytosine deaminase activity about twice as strong as 6-azacytosine. The enzyme, when cytosine was used as a substrate, was revealed the pattern of competitive inhibition by 2-thiocytosine and 6-azacytosine, The ki value for these compounds was 4.5$\times$10-4M and 1.756$\times$10-3M, respectively. At this point, the Hill coefficient for cytosine, 2-thiocytosine and 6-azacytosine was 1.80, 1.81 and 2.45, respectively.

  • The synthesis of carbocyclic analogues of normal nucleosides has grown exclusively since they have shown potential antiviral and antitumor activities. Radiolabeled cis-1-[4-(hydroxy-methyl)-cyclopent-2-enyl]-5-$[^{124}I]$-iodocytosine (carbocyclic d4IC) and cis-1-[4-(hydroxy-methyl)-cyclopent-2-enyl]-5-(2-$[^{124}I]$iodovinyl)cytosine(carbocyclic d4IVC) were synthesized. The synthetic route employed Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling reaction together with organotin and exchange reaction for radioiodination as key reactions. Carbocyclic $[^{124}I]$d4IC gave more than 75% radiochemical yield with greater than 95% radiochemical purity. Carbocyclic $[^{124}I]$d4IVC gave more than 80% radiochemical yield with greater than 95% radiochemical purity.

  • This paper describes the racemic and stereoselective synthetic route for a novel 4'$\alpha$-phenyl and 6'$\alpha$-methyl doubly branched carbocyclic nucleosides from an acyclic 2-hydroxy acetophenone. The installation of phenyl group at the 4'-position of carbocyclic nucleoside was successfully accomplished via a sequential [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. The stereoselective introduction of a methyl group in the 6'$\alpha$-position was accomplished by Felkin-Anh controlled alkylation. Bis-vinyl 11 compound was successfully cyclized using a Grubbs’ catalyst II to desired carbocycles. The natural bases (adenine and cytosine) were efficiently coupled using a Pd(0) catalyst. Although all the synthesized compounds were examined for their activity against several viruses such as HIV-1, HSV-1, HSV-2 and HCMV, only cytosine analogues 17 exhibited weak antiviral activity against HCMV.

  • The discovery of 2'-spirocyclopropyl-ribocytidine (J. Med. Chem. 2010, 53, 8150-8160) as a potent inhibitor of RNA synthesis by NS5B ($IC_{50}=7.3{\mu}M$), the RNA polymerase encoded by hepatitis C Virus (HCV), has led to the synthesis and biological evaluation of several carbocyclic versions of 2'-spiropropyl-nucleosides. The cyclopentenol intermediate 7 was successfully constructed via ring-closing metathesis (RCM) from divinyl 6. Spirocyclopropanation of enone 8 was effected by using (2-chloroethyl)-dimethylsulfonium iodide and potassium tert-butoxide to form the desired intermediate 9. The synthesized nucleoside analogues 21-24 were assayed for their ability to inhibit HCV RNA replication in a subgenomic replicon Huh7 cell line. Among them, the cytosine nucleoside analogue 22 exhibited significant anti-HCV activity ($EC_{50}= 8.2{\mu}M$).

  • Racemic synthesis of novel 5',5'-difluoro-2'-methyl-apiose nucleoside phosphonic acid analogs was achieved as potent antiviral agents. Phosphonation was performed by direct displacement of triflate intermediate with diethyl (lithiodifluoromethyl) phosphonate to give the corresponding (${\alpha},{\alpha}$-difluoroalkyl) phosphonate. Condensation successfully proceeded from a glycosyl donor with persilylated bases to yield the nucleoside phosphonate analogs. Deprotection of diethyl phosphonates provided the target nucleoside analogs. An antiviral evaluation of the synthesized compounds against various viruses such as HIV, HSV-1, HSV-2 and HCMV revealed that the pyrimidine analogs (cytosine, uracil, and thymine) have weak anti-HIV or HCMV activity.

  • In these study novel 1,4-disubstituted carbocyclic nucleoside analogues were synthesized as potential antiviral agents. The coupling reaction of the alcohol 8${\alpha}$ with natural bases using Mitsunobu reaction afforded the target nucleosides 13, 14. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antiviral activity against various viruses such as HIV-1, HSV-1, HSV-2 and HCMV. Cytosine derivative 13 exhibited moderate antiviral activity against HIV-1 (EC$_{50}$=16.4 ${\mu}$M).
