The synthesis of 1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)cytosines with a halovinyl or vinyl substituent at C-5 was accomplished from the corresponding 5-iodo (FIAC, 1) and/or 5-chloromercuri nucleoside analogues with use of Li2PdCl4- and Pd(OAc)2-mediated coupling reactions. Thiation of the benzoylated derivative of the 5-ethyluracil nucleoside 3 followed by S-methylation and then ammonolysis provided 5-ethyl-2'-fluoro-ara-C. 5-Ethynyl-2'-fluoro-ara-C (19a) and 5-ethynyl-2'-fluoro-ara-U (19b) were also obtained from the persilylated 5-iodo nucleosides 1 and 16, respectively, by PdII/CuI catalyzed coupling with (trimethylsilyl)acetylene. With use of selective sugar deprotection of the initial coupling products with H2O/Me2SO, the corresponding 5-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl] derivatives 18a and 18b could be isolated. Most of the new compounds showed activity in vitro against both HSV-1 and HSV-2, as did the known corresponding 5-alkenyluracil nucleosides synthesized earlier. The 5-vinylcytosine and -uracil nucleosides 10 and 24, respectively, were highly effective against HSV-1 (ED90 = 0.40 and 0.043 microM, respectively) and HSV-2 (ED90 = 0.59 and 0.56 microM, respectively). Unlike BVDU, the 2'-fluoroarabinosyl derivatives of 5-(halovinyl)cytosine and -uracil showed activity against both types of herpes simplex virus. The therapeutic indices of these compounds are in some cases superior to those of 2'-fluoro-5-methyl-ara-U (FMAU, 2). Moderate antileukemic activity was observed in vitro for the 5-alkynyl and 5-vinyl compounds. The competition of these compounds with thymidine for viral-induced thymidine kinases was also studied.
