Synthesis Of Β-Triphosphotriester Pronucleotides, Yousef A. Beni, Chandravanu Dash, Keykavous Parang

Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research

Dinucleoside phosphorochloridite were synthesized from phosphorus trichloride and three nucleoside analogues, 3-fluoro-2,3-dideoxythymidine (FLT), 2',3'-dideoxy-5-fluoro-3'- thiacytidine (FTC), and 2',3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine (3TC), in a multistep synthesis. Polymerbound N-Boc p-acetoxybenzyl 5¢-O-2¢-deoxythymidine was reacted with dinucleoside phosphorochloridite in the presence of 2,6-lutidine, followed by the reaction with dodecyl alcohol and 5-(ethylthio)-1H-tetrazole, oxidation with tert-butyl hydroperoxide, and acidic cleavage, respectively, to afford the b-triphosphotriester derivatives containing three different nucleosides.


Synthesis Of Nucleoside 5′-O-Α,Β-Methylene-Β-Triphosphates And Evaluation Of Their Potency Towards Inhibition Of Hiv-1 Reverse Transcriptase, Yousef Ahmadibeni, Chandravanu Dash, M. J. Hanley, S. F. J. Le Grice, Hitesh K. Agarwal, Keykavous Parang Jan 2010

Synthesis Of Nucleoside 5′-O-Α,Β-Methylene-Β-Triphosphates And Evaluation Of Their Potency Towards Inhibition Of Hiv-1 Reverse Transcriptase, Yousef Ahmadibeni, Chandravanu Dash, M. J. Hanley, S. F. J. Le Grice, Hitesh K. Agarwal, Keykavous Parang

Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research

A polymer-bound α,β-methylene-β-triphosphitylating reagent was synthesized and subjected to reactions with unprotected nucleosides, followed by oxidation, deprotection of cyanoethoxy groups, and acidic cleavage to afford nucleoside 5′-O-α,β-methylene-β-triphosphates. Among all the compounds, cytidine 5′-O-α,β-methylene-β-triphosphate inhibited RNase H activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase with a Ki value of 225 μM.
