| Abstract: | The ring-expanded ("fat") nucleoside, 4,8-diamino-6-imino-6H-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylimidazo[4,5-e][1,3]diazepine (1) and its 2',3',5'-tri-O-benzoyl derivative (2) exhibited potent broad spectrum anticancer activities in vitro against a wide variety of human tumor cell lines. The tribenzoyl derivative 2 was found to be considerably more active than the parent nucleoside 1. Further studies using human prostate cancer cells PC-3 and DU-145 suggest that the treatment of exponentially growing culture cells with 1 and 2 leads to marked loss of cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. |
