N4-Benzoyl-1-(2'-deoxy-5'-O-DMT-2'-fluoro-b-D-arabinofuranosyl)uracil 3'-CE-phosphoramidite - CAS 1404463-12-2

In order to examine the preferred hydrogen-bonding pattern of various uracil derivatives, namely 5-(hydroxymethyl)uracil, 5-carboxyuracil and 5-carboxy-2-thiouracil, and for a conformational study, crystallization experiments yielded eight different structures: 5-(hydroxymethyl)uracil, C5H6N2O3, (I), 5-carboxyuracil-N,N-dimethylformamide (1/1), C5H4N2O4·C3H7NO, (II), 5-carboxyuracil-dimethyl sulfoxide (1/1), C5H4N2O4·C2H6OS, (III), 5-carboxyuracil-N,N-dimethylacetamide (1/1), C5H4N2O4·C4H9NO, (IV), 5-carboxy-2-thiouracil-N,N-dimethylformamide (1/1), C5H4N2O3S·C3H7NO, (V), 5-carboxy-2-thiouracil-dimethyl sulfoxide (1/1), C5H4N2O3S·C2H6OS, (VI), 5-carboxy-2-thiouracil-1,4-dioxane (2/3), 2C5H4N2O3S·3C6H12O3, (VII), and 5-carboxy-2-thiouracil, C10H8N4O6S2, (VIII). While the six solvated structures, i.e. (II)-(VII), contain intramolecular S(6) O-H...O hydrogen-bond motifs between the carboxy and carbonyl groups, the usually favoured R2(2)(8) pattern between two carboxy groups is formed in the solvent-free structure, i.e. (VIII). Further R2(2)(8) hydrogen-bond motifs involving either two N-H...O or two N-H...S hydrogen bonds were observed in three crystal structures, namely (I), (IV) and (VIII). In all eight structures, the residue at the ring 5-position shows a coplanar arrangement with respect to the pyrimidine ring which is in agreement with a search of the Cambridge Structural Database for six-membered cyclic compounds containing a carboxy group. The search confirmed that coplanarity between the carboxy group and the cyclic residue is strongly favoured.

Heterocycles 2-pyridone and uracil are privileged pharmacophores. Diversity-oriented synthesis of their derivatives is in urgent need in medicinal chemistry. Herein, we report a palladium/norbornene cooperative catalysis enabled dual-functionalization of iodinated 2-pyridones and uracils. The success of this research depends on the use of two unique norbornene derivatives as the mediator. Readily available alkyl halides/tosylates and aryl bromides are utilized as ortho-alkylating and -arylating reagents, respectively. Widely accessible ipso-terminating reagents, including H/DCO2Na, boronic acid/ester, terminal alkene and alkyne are compatible with this protocol. Thus, a large number of valuable 2-pyridone derivatives, including deuterium/CD3-labeled 2-pyridones, bicyclic 2-pyridones, 2-pyridone-fenofibrate conjugate, axially chiral 2-pyridone (97% ee), as well as uracil and thymine derivatives, can be quickly prepared in a predictable manner (79 examples reported), which will be very useful in new drug discovery.

The problem of antimicrobial resistance is an important global public health challenge. We propose that a development of new antibiotic compounds around known natural substances is a solution to this problem. We investigate reengineer natural products into potent antibiotics. Uracil fragment is abundant in nature and significant to treat infectious diseases due to its affection to the replication of the bacterial chromosome. 12 new uracil S-derivatives were obtained and tested for their in vitro antimicrobial properties. N3 -(thietan-3-yl)- and N3 -(1,1-dioxothietan-3-yl)uracils derivatives were synthesized by thietanylation of 6-methyluracil with 2-chloromethylthiirane and subsequent oxidation of the thietan ring. A method of their alkylation with ethyl-2-chloroacetate was developed and acetohydrazides containing 3-(thietan-3-yl)- and 3-(1,1-dioxothietan-3-yl)uracilyls fragments in the acetyl group were obtained by hydrazinolysis of 2-(thietanyluracil-1-yl)acetic acid ethyl esters. Their interaction with β-dicarbonyl compounds, anhydride of mono- and dicarboxylic acids was studied. Antimicrobial activity was determined by the agar diffusion method on test organisms: S. aureus, E. coli, P. vulgaris, K. pneumoniae, C. diversus, E. aerogenes, P. aeruginosa, S. abosit. N-acyl-5-hydroxypyrazolines and N,N'-diacylhydrazines of 6-methyluracil thietanyl- and dioxothietanyl derivatives showed high antimicrobial activity, which is consistent with the results of structure activity relationship analysis (MIC 0.1-10 μg/ml).
