Abstract:
AIMTo synthesize the phosphocholine analogs containing tegafur and test their antitumor activity. METHODS
N1-(2-furanidyl)-5-fluorouracil reacted with multimethylene chlorohydrin in the presence of NaHCO
3 in acetonitrile at 80℃ to give
N1-(2-furanidyl)-
N3-(hydroxyalkyl)-5-fluorouracil in high yield (≥93%). Its cyclic glycerothiophospholipid conjugate was synthesized by reaction of hexaethylphosphorous triamide, activated by a catalytic amount of iodine, as the phosphorylating reagent with
N1-(2-furanidyl)-
N3-(hydroxyalkyl)-5-fluorouracil and 1-
O-hexadecyl glycerol as well as sulfur in a one-pot. Cyclic glycerothiophospholipid-nucleosides conjugate readily reacted with triethylamine to give the title compounds. RESULTSNine new compounds (2a~c, 3a~c and 4a~c) have been synthesized. Their structures were confirmed by IR,
1HNMR,
13CNMR,
31PNMR and elemental analysis. CONCLUSIONThe title compounds (4a~c) showed antitumor activity against human uriaryl bladder cancer cell and more effective than the tegafur.
