Phosphodiester amidates of unsaturated nucleoside analogues: synthesis and anti-HIV activity.
The effect of introduction of a lipophilic phosphodiester amidate moiety on the HIV activity of inactive unsaturated nucleoside analogues was investigated. Phosphodiester alaninates 5a, 5b, and 6 derived from unsaturated nucleoside analogues 3b, 3c, and 4a were synthesized and investigated as inhibitors of cytopathic effect and replication of HIV-1 in ATH-8 cells. Compound 5a is an inhibitor of HIV-1 whereas analogue 6 is inactive with cytotoxicity appearing above 10 microM and 5b is both inactive and nontoxic. Alkaline or enzymic hydrolysis of 5a gave phosphomonoester alaninate 14, a putative product of intracellular metabolism. Compound 14 as well as adenallene derivative 15c were devoid of anti-HIV activity, and they also failed to inhibit HIV reverse transcriptase. A new regioselective method for preparation of (Z)-4-(benzoyloxy)-1-hydroxy-2-butene, 7, a key intermediate for the synthesis of unsaturated nucleoside analogues of cis configuration such as 3a, 3b, and 3c, is also described.
