Abstract
In this study we synthesized a series of thymine and 5-ethyluracil acyclic nucleoside phosphonates bearing hydroxymethyl, methoxymethyl, azidomethyl, aminomethyl and (trimethylammonio)methyl group in side chain as potent inhibitors of thymidine phosphorylase. In addition, we investigated in particular the novel syntheses of fluorinated derivatives containing fluoromethyl or trifluoromethyl groups in side chain such as 5-ethyl- 1-[(S)-3-fluoro-2-(phosphonomethoxy)propyl]uracil (8) or 5-ethyl-1-[3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(phosphonomethoxy)propyl]uracil and thymine derivatives 27 and 28. Uracil acyclic nucleoside phosphonates 1-{2-[(diisopropoxyphosphoryl)methoxy]ethyl}uracil (12) and 1-{2-[(diisopropoxyphosphoryl)methoxy]-3,3,3-trifluoropropyl}uracil (19) were fluorinated to corresponding 5-fluorouracil derivatives. While the 5-fluorouracil derivatives exhibit a marginal inhibitory effect, thymine and 5-ethyluracil compound with fluorine in side chains possess considerable inhibitory potency toward thymidine phosphorylase from rat spontaneous T-cell lymphoma.
