Decomposition pathways and in vitro HIV inhibitory effects of isoddA pronucleotides: toward a rational approach for intracellular delivery of nucleoside 5'-monophosphates.
The decomposition pathways and kinetics in various biological media and the in vitro anti-HIV-1 and anti-HIV-2 activities of four derivatives of the 5'-mononucleotide of isoddA incorporating carboxylate esterase-labile transient phosphate protecting groups are reported and compared: namely, two mononucleoside aryl phosphoramidate derivatives 1a,b and two mononucleoside phosphotriester derivatives incorporating two S-acyl-2-thioethyl groups 2a,b. All four compounds show better antiviral activity, compared to the parent nucleoside analog isoddA. The results highlight that both types of compounds act as pronucleotides, i.e. they exert their antiviral effect via intracellular delivery of the 5'-mononucleotide of isoddA. The results may give insights for the design of new more efficient pronucleotides.
