title: Pyrrolopyrimidine nucleosides. 18. Synthesis and chemotherapeutic activity of 4-amino-7-(3-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidine-5-carboxamide (3'-deoxysangivamycin) and 4-amino-7-(2-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidine-5-carboxamide (2'-deoxysangivamycin).
abstract: A multistep synthesis, using the nucleoside antibiotic toyocamycin as the starting material, has furnished 6,2'-S-cyclosangivamycin (6). Desulfurization of 6,2'-S-cyclosangivamycin (6) with Raney nickel has provided 2'-deoxysangivamycin (7). Treatment of sangivamycin (1c) with sodium iodide and alpha-acetoxyisobutyryl chloride has furnished 4-amino-7-[2-O-acetyl-3-deoxy-3-iodo-5-O-(2,5,5-trimethyl-4-oxo-1, 3-dioxolan-2-yl)-beta-D-xylofuranosyl]-pyrrolo[2,3-d] pyrimidine-5-carboxamide (8a). Dehalogenation of 8a with 10% palladium on charcoal was followed by a removal of the blocking groups with ammonium hydroxide to give 3'-deoxysangivamycin (9) in 49% overall yield. The reaction of sangivamycin (1c) with diphenyl disulfide and tributylphosphine gave 5'-(phenylthio)-5'-deoxysangivamycin (10). Treatment of 10 with Raney Nickel afforded 5'-deoxysangivamycin (11). Antitumor evaluation showed that 3'-deoxysangivamycin had significant activity against the murine leukemia L1210 both in vivo and in vitro, although it was less potent on a molar basis than the parent compound sangivamycin. The 2'- and 5'-deoxysangivamycins did not show significant antitumor activity.
