Abstract
Synthesis of 1-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)uracils containing a vinyl (4a), 2-halovinyl (4b-d), or ethyl substituent at C-5 was achieved. These nucleosides were found to be about a log order less active than 2'-fluoro-5-iodo-ara-C (FIAC) against HSV-1, but they are much less cytotoxic against normal human lymphocytes than FIAC. Nucleosides 4a and 4e showed good activity against HSV-1 (ED50 = 0.16 and 0.24 microM, respectively) and HSV-2 (ED50 = 0.69 and 0.65 microM) with very little cytotoxicity (ID50 greater than 100 microM).Entities:
