摘要
The discovery of 4'-azidocytidine (3) (R1479) (J. Biol. Chem. 2006, 281, 3793; Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett. 2007, 17, 2570) as a potent inhibitor of RNA synthesis by NS5B (EC50 = 1.28 mu M), the RNA polymerase encoded by hepatitis C virus (HCV), has led to the synthesis and biological evaluation of several monofluoro and difluoro derivatives of 4'-azidocytidine. The most potent compounds in this series were 4'-azido-2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluorocytidine and 4'-azido-2'-deoxy-2'-fluoroarabinocytidine with antiviral EC50 of 66 nM and 24 nM in the HCV replicon system, respectively. The structure-activity relationships within this series were discussed. which led to the discovery of these novel nucleoside analogues with the most potent compound, showing more than a 50-fold increase in antiviral potency as compared to 4'-azidocytidine (3).
