Synthesis of double headed imidazoline acyclo C-nucleosides: 1,4-bis[1-amino-5-oxo-4-substituted(imidazolin-2-yl)]galacto-tetritols

Synthesis, conformational analysis and antimicrobial activity of 10-benzyl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]1,2,4-triazino[5,6-b]indole acyclo C-nucleoside analogs

Condensation of 5-benzyl-3-hydrazino-1,2,4-triazino[5,6-b]indole with various sugar aldoses or ketoses gave the corresponding sugar hydrazones as single geometrical isomer or exist in E/Z tautomeric isomers. The hydrazones underwent heterocyclization with Fe(Ш)Cl3 to give the N2-adduct acyclo C-nucleosides: 3-(alditol-1yl)-10-benzyl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-b]1,2,4-triazino[5,6-b]indoles rather than the N4-adduct: 10-(alditol-1-yl)-3-benzyl-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-c]1,2,4-triazino[5,6-b] indoles on the basis of chemical and UV spectral proofs. Conformational analysis of their polyacetates were studied. The new acyclo C-nucleosides were evaluated for antimicrobial activity.

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activity of 1,3,4-Oxadiazoline, 1,3-Thiazolidine, and 1,2,4-Triazoline Double-Tailed Acyclo C-Nucleosides

The condensation products of terphthaloyl bishydrazide with two equivalents of various monosaccharide aldoses were found to have a bis(sugarhydrazone) form or bis-glycosylhydrazide structure or coexist in tautomeric equilibrium depending on the sugar configuration. The condensation products were substantially utilized as 3-acetyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoline, 1,3-thiazolidine, and 4-amino-1,2,4-triazoline double-tailed acyclo C-nucleosides synthons. The preliminary antimicrobial activities of representative examples of the prepared compounds were evaluated.

Synthesis and antiviral activities of new acyclic and "double-headed" nucleoside analogues

To develop an understanding of the structure-activity relationships for the inhibition of orthopoxviruses by nucleoside analogues, a variety of novel chemical entities were synthesized. These included a series of pyrimidine 5-hypermodified acyclic nucleoside analogues based upon recently discovered new leads, and some previously unknown "double-headed" or "abbreviated" nucleosides. None of the synthetic products possessed significant activity against two representative orthopoxviruses; namely, vaccinia virus and cowpox virus. They were also devoid of significant activity against a battery of other DNA and RNA viruses. So far as the results with the orthopoxviruses and herpes viruses, the results may point to the necessity for nucleoside analogues 5'-phosphorylation for antiviral efficacy.

First synthesis of double headed 1,3,4-oxadiazino[6,5-b]indole acyclo C-nucleosides

Condensation of 1,3-dihydro-2,3-dioxo-2H-indoles (la-c) with galactaric acid bis hydrazide (2) gave the corresponding galactaric acid bis[2-(1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-3H-indol-3-ylidene)hydrazides] (3a-c). Acetylation of the latter compounds with acetic anhydride in the presence of pyridine at ambient temperature gave the 2,3,4,5-tetra-O-acetylgalactaric acid bis[2-(1,2-dihydro-2-oxo-1-substituted-3H-indol-3-ylidene)hydrazides] (4b-d). Heterocyclization of the tetra-O-acetates 4b-d by heating with thionyl chloride afforded the double headed acyclo C-nucleosides: 1,2,3,4-tetra-O-acetyl- 1,4-bis[9-substituted-1,3,4-oxadiazino[6,5-b]indol-2-yl-1-ium]-galacto-tetritol dichlorides (5b-d). Structures of the prepared compounds were elucidated from their spectral properties.
