The synthesis of a variety of nucleoside analogs involving modifications in the carbohydrate ring is described. In particular, 6-substituted purin-9-yl derivatives of 1-oxa-4-thiacyclohexane and 1,4-dioxacyclohexane have been synthesized. A number of 6-chloropurin-9-yl derivatives of substituted 1-oxa-4-thiacyclohexane have also been derived from the parent compounds by way of a Pummerer rearrangement. A route to nucleoside analogs of 1-oxa-4-thiacyclohexane from naturally occurring nucleosides is illustrated for the case of inosine. A route to nucleoside analogs in which the carbohydrate moiety is replaced by an acyclic moiety bearing α,β-unsaturated esters is also illustrated for the case of uridine. The results of biological screening of these analogs and others previously synthesized in our program against leukemia L-1210 cells in vitro are presented; some of these compounds showed marginal antitumor activity. The screening results of selected compounds against the human HeLa cell line in vitro are also presented; none of the compounds that were tested showed significant inhibitory activity of cell growth.

A series of conjugates of 10-hydroxy camptothecin (HCPT) with functionalized norcantharidin derivatives were regio-selectively synthesized in the condition of (3-dimethylaminopropyl) ethyl-carbodiimide monohydrochloride in a moderate yield. The synthesized conjugate HCPT pro-drugs can also suppress cancer cell growth in vitro . These conjugated pro-drug constructs possess therapeutic potential as novel bi-functional conjugate platforms for cancer treatment.

Over the last years, great interest has arisen concerning plant stilbenes, especially resveratrol, which has a whole spectrum of positive biological activities. In this study, we investigated the presence of resveratrol monomers (trans- and cis- form) and naturally occurring derivatives of fraas-resveratrol (piceid, astringin and isorhapontin) in phenolic extracts of twenty medicinal plants traditionally used in Croatian folk medicine. The investigated compounds were present in the samples, in free form or as glucosides, and the highest share was found in immortelle, common yarrow and Lamiaceae plants. The obtained results indicate that biological activity of selected medicinal plants can be related to the presence of this valuable group of phytochemicals.

Continuing our research in the field of new heterocyclic compounds, herein we report on the synthesis and antitumor activity of new amino derivatives of pyrido[3’,2’:4,5](furo)thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidines as well as of two new heterocyclic systems: furo[2–e]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine and furo[2,3-e]pyrimido[1,2-c]pyrimidine. Thus, by refluxing the 8-chloro derivatives of pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno(furo)[3,2-d]pyrimidines with various amines, the relevant pyrido[3’,2’:4,5]thieno(furo)[3,2-d]pyrimidin-8-amines were obtained. Further, the cyclization of some amines under the action of phosphorus oxychloride led to the formation of new heterorings: imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine and pyrimido[1,2-c]pyrimidine. The possible antitumor activity of the newly synthesized compounds was evaluated in vitro. The biological tests evidenced that some of them showed pronounced antitumor activity. A study of the structure–activity relationships revealed that the compound activity depended mostly on the nature of the amine fragments. A docking analysis was also performed for the most active compounds.

Novel phosphoramidate derivatives of the anti-HIV nucleoside analogue AZT have been prepared by phosphorochloridate chemistry. These materials carry carboxy-protected, amino acids, and are designed to act as membrane-soluble prodrugs of the bio-active free nucleotides. In vitro evaluation revealed the compounds to have a pronounced, selective antiviral activity. In particular, variation in the carboxy terminus region is studied. For alkyl phosphates small changes in the structure of the amino ester lead to marked changes in biological activity. However, for analogous aryl phosphates there is little dependence on the structure of the ester. This suggests a different mechanism of action for these two categories of phosphate prodrug.
