Reaction of 9-[3,5-di-O-(tetrahydropyran-2-yl)-β-D- arabinofuranosyl]uracil (2) with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride in the presence of pyridine afforded 2'-deoxy-2'-flouroriboside 3a, from which 2'- deoxy-2'-fluorocytidine (14b) has been synthesized in good yield. Compound 3a was deprotected and subsequently treated with various benzyl halides or 2- chloro-4-fluoroacetophenone to give corresponding N3-substituted 2'-deoxy- 2'-fluorouridines 5a-c and 6. Compounds 5a-c, as well as 6, showed weak hypnotic activity in mice. Compound 4b showed moderate antiviral activity against human immunodeficiency virus-1 but 3b, 5a-c, and 6 were virtually inactive.

Page/Page column 18, (2008/06/13)
Antisense compounds, compositions and methods are provided for modulating the expression of polo-like kinase. The compositions comprise antisense compounds, particularly antisense oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acids encoding polo-like kinase. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of polo-like kinase expression and for treatment of diseases associated with expression of polo-like kinase are provided.

Based on the discovery of β-D-2′-deoxy-2′-fluorocytidine as a potent anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) agent, a series of β-D- and L-2′-deoxy-2′-fluororibonucleosides with modifications at 5 and/or 4 positions were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro activity against HCV and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV). The introduction of the 2′-fluoro group was achieved by either fluorination of 2,2′-anhydronucleosides with hydrogen fluoride-pyridine or potassium fluoride, or a fluorination of arabinonucleosides with DAST. Among the 27 analogues synthesized, only the 5-fluoro compounds, namely β-D-2′- deoxy-2′,5-difluorocytidine (5), had anti-HCV activity in the subgenomic HCV replicon cell line, and inhibitory activity against ribosomal RNA. As β-D-N4-hydroxycytidine (NHC) had previously shown potent anti-HCV activity, the two functionalities of the N4-hydroxyl and the 2′-fluoro were combined into one molecule, yielding β-D-2′- deoxy-2′-fluoro-N4-hydroxycytidine (12). However, this nucleoside showed neither anti-HCV activity nor toxicity. All the L-forms of the analogues were devoid of anti-HCV activity. None of the compounds showed anti-BVDV activity, suggesting that the BVDV system cannot reliably predict anti-HCV activity in vitro. Copyright Taylor & Francis, Inc.
