A novel method of transformation of HOCH2 group to FCH2 was successfully applied to the preparation of fluorine-containing pyrimidine acyclic nucleoside phosphonates (FPMP compounds) such as (S)- and (R)-1-[3-fluoro-2-(phosphonomethoxy)propyl]thymine (7a, 7b) (FPMPT). The key displacement of hydroxy group with fluorine in 1-{2-[(diisopropoxyphosphoryl)- methoxy]-3-hydroxypropyl}-4-methoxy-5-methylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one (5a, 5b) was performed using perfluorobutane-1-sulfonyl fluoride in the presence of DBU. Novel pyrimidine acyclic nucleoside phosphonates were investigated as inhibitors of thymidine phosphorylase.

In this study we synthesized a series of thymine and 5-ethyluracil acyclic nucleoside phosphonates bearing hydroxymethyl, methoxymethyl, azidomethyl, aminomethyl and (trimethylammonio)methyl group in side chain as potent inhibitors of thymidine phosphorylase. In addition, we investigated in particular the novel syntheses of fluorinated derivatives containing fluoromethyl or trifluoromethyl groups in side chain such as 5-ethyl- 1-[(S)-3-fluoro-2-(phosphonomethoxy)propyl]uracil (8) or 5-ethyl-1-[3,3,3-trifluoro-2-(phosphonomethoxy)propyl]uracil and thymine derivatives 27 and 28. Uracil acyclic nucleoside phosphonates 1-{2-[(diisopropoxyphosphoryl)methoxy]ethyl}uracil (12) and 1-{2-[(diisopropoxyphosphoryl)methoxy]-3,3,3-trifluoropropyl}uracil (19) were fluorinated to corresponding 5-fluorouracil derivatives. While the 5-fluorouracil derivatives exhibit a marginal inhibitory effect, thymine and 5-ethyluracil compound with fluorine in side chains possess considerable inhibitory potency toward thymidine phosphorylase from rat spontaneous T-cell lymphoma.

The preparation of several triazolo acyclic nucleosides and triazolo acyclic nucleoside phosphonates is described. The synthetic methodology has been developed as an efficient one-pot Cu(I)-catalyzed azide alkyne Huisgen “click” cycloaddition. A novel Cu(I)-catalyzed decarboxylation reaction of 1-substituted 1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acids at room temperature was observed and used for the preparation of 1-substituted 1H-1,2,3-triazoles. As congeners of TPI (Taiho pharmaceutical inhibitor), the prepared compounds were screened as potential inhibitors of human thymidine phosphorylase, but no inhibitory activity was observed.
