Synthesis and Anti-Trypanosomal Activity of 3'-Fluororibonucleosides Derived from 7-Deazapurine Nucleosides.
Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters(2021)
Abstract
Trypanosoma brucei parasites cause Human African Trypanosomiasis and the current drugs for its treatment are often inefficient and toxic. This urges the need to development of new antitrypanosomal agents. We report the synthesis and biological profiling of 3'-deoxy-3'-fluororibonucleosides derived from 7-deazaadenine nucleosides bearing diverse substituents at position 7. They were synthesized through glycosylation of 6-chloro-7-bromo- or -7-iodo-7-deazapurine with protected 3'-fluororibose followed by cross-coupling reactions at position 7 and/or deprotection. Most of the title nucleosides displayed micromolar or submicromolar activity against Trypanosoma brucei brucei. The most active were the 7-bromo- and 7-iododerivatives which exerted double-digit nanomolar activity against T. b. brucei and T. b. gambiense and no cytotoxicity and thus represent promising candidates for further development.
