5-Hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxycytidine (5hmdC) phosphoramidite and triphosphate are important building blocks in 5hmdC-containing DNA synthesis for epigenetic studies. However, efficient and practical methods for the synthesis of these compounds are
SYNTHESIS AND IMPROVEMENT OF A NUCLEOSIDE ANALOGUE AS AN ANTI-CANCER AND ANTI-VIRAL DRUG

Page/Page column 7; 13, (2021/05/29)
The invention is a drug for anticancer and antiviral therapy, comprising a nucleoside analogue (7) comprising a furan ring irreversibly bound to the RNA/DNA synthesis chain by phosphodiester bonds and having SP3 hybridization, and folic acid (A) bound to the nucleoside analogue (7) comprising furan ring. The synthesis method of the said nucleoside analogue is also contained within the scope of the invention. In this work, a nucleoside-analogue was transformed after converting the furan-ring hybridization from Sp2 to Sp3 to make it more selectivity with different enzymes and linking it via site 5 with the effective folic acid towards entering the substances inside the cells and to become the final compound possessing anti-cancer and anti- virus properties after controlling the replication and reproduction process in DNA.

The squaryl moiety has emerged as an important phosphate bioisostere with reportedly greater cell permeability. It has been used in the synthesis of several therapeutic drug molecules including nucleoside and nucleotide analogues but is yet to be evaluated in the context of positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. We have designed, synthesised and evaluated 3′-[18F]fluorothymidine-5′-squaryl ([18F]SqFLT) as a bioisostere to 3′-[18F]fluorothymidine-5′-monophosphate ([18F]FLTMP) for imaging thymidylate kinase (TMPK) activity. The overall radiochemical yield (RCY) was 6.7 ± 2.5% and radiochemical purity (RCP) was >90%. Biological evaluationin vitroshowed low tracer uptake (?1) but significantly discriminated between wildtype HCT116 and CRISPR/Cas9 generated TMPK knockdown HCT116shTMPK?. Evaluation of [18F]SqFLT in HCT116 and HCT116shTMPK?xenograft mouse models showed statistically significant differences in tumour uptake, but lacked an effective tissue retention mechanism, making the radiotracer in its current form unsuitable for PET imaging of proliferation.
