Effect of uridine protecting groups on the diastereoselectivity of uridine-derived aldehyde 5’-alkynylation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 5'-alkynylation of uridine-derived aldehydes is described. The addition of alkynyl Grignard reagents on the carbonyl group is significantly influenced by the 2',3'-di-O-protecting groups (R1): O-alkyl groups led to modest diastereoselectivities (65:35) in favor of the 5'R-isomer, whereas O-silyl groups promoted higher diastereoselectivities (up to 99:1) in favor of the 5'S-isomer. A study related to this protecting group effect on the diastereoselectivity is reported.

INHIBITION OF14C UPTAKE BY CANDIDA ALBICANS: A NEW METHOD FOR INVESTIGATION OF INTRACELLULAR KILLING BY PHAGOCYTES
A radio assay employing 14C-uridine to measure the intracellular killing of Candida albicans by phagocytes is presented. The principle of this new method is that after killing of Candida albicans by phagocytes RNA synthesis stops and therefore uridine uptake is diminished whilst viable candida in cultures would take up uridine and as a result, high CPM counts can be obtained within 135 min...
متن کاملSynthetic studies towards the tunicamycins and analogues based on diazo chemistry. Total synthesis of tunicaminyl uracil.
A synthetic approach to the tunicamycins, a complex family of nucleosides with potent antibiotic and antiviral activities is reported based on diazo chemistry. The corresponding precursors for the synthesis of tunicaminyl uracil derivatives, the non-stabilized diazo derived from 13 and the aldehyde derivative of uridine, compound 4, were prepared efficiently from commercially available D-galact...
متن کاملPermanent or reversible conjugation of 2′-O- or 5′-O-aminooxymethylated nucleosides with functional groups as a convenient and efficient approach to the modification of RNA and DNA sequences
2'-O-Aminooxymethyl ribonucleosides are prepared from their 3',5'-disilylated 2'-O-phthalimidooxymethyl derivatives by treatment with NH(4)F in MeOH. The reaction of these novel ribonucleosides with 1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde results in the efficient formation of stable and yet reversible ribonucleoside 2'-conjugates in yields of 69-82%. Indeed, exposure of these conjugates to 0.5 M tetra-n-butylam...
متن کاملEffect of uridine on response of 5-azacytidine-resistant human leukemic cells to inhibitors of de novo pyrimidine synthesis.
A uridine-cytidine kinase-deficient human promyelocytic leukemic subline (HL-60-5-aza-Cyd) has been isolated which is highly resistant to the antileukemic agent 5-azacytidine. Resistant cells exposed to 10(-5) M 5-azacytidine for 2 hr exhibit a marked reduction in both the total intracellular accumulation of 5-azacytidine (11.9 versus 156.0 pmol/10(6) cells) as well as its incorporation into RN...
متن کاملEffect of uridine 5'-diphosphate on cryogenic brain edema in rabbits.
This study was undertaken to examine the effect of uridine 5'-diphosphate, administered intravenously or intraperitoneally, on cold injury-induced brain edema in rabbits. Bolus injection or continuous intravenous infusion of uridine 5'-diphosphate 26 hours after a lesion was established had adverse effects, such as increased intracranial pressure and lowered systolic arterial blood pressure and...
