Abstract: | A series of dichlorinated indole nucleosides has been synthesized and tested for activity against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) and for cytotoxicity. The isopropylidene-protected analogs of the previously reported 3-formyl-2,5,6-trichloro-1-(beta-Dribofuranosyl)indole (FTCRI) and 3-cyano-2,5, 6-trichloro-1-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)indole (CTCRI) were modified by nucleophilic displacement of the 2-chloro substituent using secondary amines. Deprotection of the intermediates provided 2-substituted analogs of FTCRI and CTCRI in good yield. There was a significant difference in reactivity between the isopropylidene-protected and the fully deprotected FTCRI and CTCRI with respect to nucleophilic displacement of the 2-chloro substituent using dialkylamines. This difference in reactivity was not observed with monoalkylamines or with alkoxides, and the corresponding 2-alkylamino- and 2-methoxy substituted analogs were synthesized from FITCRI and CTCRI directly. None of the synthesized analogs demonstrated potent antiviral activity without some corresponding cytotoxicity. |
