Abstract
The syntheses of anomeric mixtures of 1-(4-thio-${\alpha},{\beta}$-D-ribofuranosyl)-5-fluoro-and 5-chlorouracils from their corresponding bis(trimethylsilyl) derivatives of 5-halogenouracils and 2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-4-thio-${\alpha},{\beta}$-D-ribofuranosyl chloride are described. Preliminary biochemical studies showed that in leukemia 1210 cells and Streptococcus faecium, the ${\beta}$-anomeric 5-chloro-4'-thionucleoside is not greatly different from the corresponding 4'-oxygen analog. However, the 5-fluoro-4'-thionucleoside showed a growth inhibitory effect more than that of the oxygen counterpart. The potential chemotherapeutic use of the analog is to warrant further study.
Unusual pyrimidine nucleoside인 5-fluoro-4'-thiouridine과 5-Chloro-4'-thiouridine을 5-fluoro-와 5-chlorouracil의 2,4-bis(trimethylsilyl) 유도체들을 만든후, 축합반응하여 합성하였다. Leukemia 1210 cell과 Streptococcus faecium에 대한 기초 생물화학적인 예비시험에 의하면 5-fluoro-4'-thiouridine은 5-fluorouridine보다 억제효과가 월등하여 항암제로서의 전망여하는 앞으로의 임상 화학적인 결과로 구명될것 이라고 예상된다.
