Popis: | Summary 5' -O-Alkyl derivatives of 1-[3-D-arabinofuranosyl-E-5 (2-bromovinyl)uracil (BV-araU) were synthesized by selective alkylation and deprotection of 2' ,3' -bis-O tetrahydropyranyl BV-araU to enhance metabolic sta bility and evaluated for efficacy as oral prodrugs of BV-araU. For comparison, their acyl congeners, and 3'-0- and 2'-0-ethyl BV-araU, were also prepared by direct acylation of BV-araU and by selective protec tion, alkylation, and deprotection, respectively. The 5' -O-alkyl prodrugs were stable in acidic solutions, whereas the 5' -O-acyl analogues were unstable under the same conditions. When incubated with enterobac teria, the 5' -O-acyl derivatives resulted in the for mation of BV-uracil through non-enzymatic hydrolysis of BV-araU, but the 5' -O-alkyl prodrugs did not. 5' -0 Short-chain aliphatic alkyl (not longer than butyl) and generally acyl prodrugs gave higher blood concentra tions of BV-araU than the aromatic derivatives. Plasma concentrations of BV-araU were equal or slightly higher than those after equivalent oral doses of BV araU. 5'-0-Ethyl BV-araU was effective against intracerebral, intraperitoneal, and cutaneous infec tions with herpes simplex virus type 1 in mice. 5'-0 Short-chain aliphatic alkyl derivatives may prove to be useful oral prodrugs of BV-araU because of increased metabolic stability. |
