Starting from 3-O-mesyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-allofuranose (9) the anomeric mixtures of the requisite carbohydrates 1,2-di-O-acetyl-6-O-benzoyl-5-deoxy-3-O-mesyl-D-allofuranoses++ + 17A alpha/beta, 1,2-di-O-acetyl-5,6-di-O-benzoyl-3-O-mesyl-D-allofuranoses 17B alpha/beta, and 1,2-di-O-acetyl-5,6-di-O-benzoyl-3-O-mesyl-L-talofuranoses 17C alpha/beta were synthesized. 1,2-Di-O-acetyl-5-O-benzoyl-6-deoxy-3-O-mesyl-D-allofuranoses++ + 17D alpha/beta and the corresponding L-talofuranoses 17E alpha/beta were obtained from 6-deoxy-3,5-di-O-benzoyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D- allofuranose (12) and the corresponding beta-L-talofuranose 13. Coupling of these sugar derivatives with thymine gave the beta-nucleoside derivatives 18A-E. Treatment of compounds 18A-E with DBU produced the corresponding 2,3'-anhydro nucleosides 19A-E with a free 2'-OH group. After deoxygenation of 2'-O-[[(4-methylphenyl)oxy]thiocarbonyl] compounds 20A-E with tributyltin hydride the 2,3'-anhydro bridge of the 2'-deoxynucleosides 21A-E was opened with LiN3 to produce the protected 3'-azido-2,3'-dideoxynucleoside derivatives 22A-G. Saponification with NaOCH3 gave 1-(3'-azido-2',3',5'-trideoxy-beta-D-allofuranosyl)thymine (2; homo-AZT), the 5'-C-(hydroxymethyl) derivatives of AZT 1-(3'-azido-2',3'- dideoxy-beta-D-allofuranosyl)thymine (3) and 1-(3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxy-alpha-L-talofuranosyl)thymine (4), and the 5'-C-methyl derivatives of AZT 1-(3'-azido-2',3',6'-trideoxy-beta-D-allofuranosyl)thymine (5) and 1-(3'-azido-2',3',6'-trideoxy-alpha-L-talofuranosyl)thymine (6). Compounds 2-6 were evaluated for their inhibitory effect on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and type 2 (HIV-2) replication in MT-4 cells and found inactive at subtoxic concentrations. Compounds 2-4 and 6 are not effective against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HIV-2), vaccinia virus (VV), and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) at 400 micrograms/mL. 5 is slightly active against HSV-1, HSV-2 and VV at 150, 300, and 300 micrograms/mL, respectively.

In the present study the therapeutic efficacy and the side effects of two antiretroviral compounds used in human acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) research, 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxythymidine (AZT, zidovudine, Retrovir) and 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA), were investigated in the treatment of cats naturally infected with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and cats naturally infected with feline leukemia virus (FeLV). AZT was administered subcutaneously at a dose of 5 mg kg-1 body weight every 12 h and PMEA was administered subcutaneously at a dose of 2.5 mg kg-1 body weight every 12 h during a 3 week hospitalization. The therapeutic efficacy of both compounds was investigated. There was a stronger potency of PMEA than of AZT on the regression of stomatitis in FIV and in FeLV infected cats. In addition, in FIV infection PMEA had a stronger effect on the improvement of the general clinical status. Both antiretroviral compounds were potent agents to improve the immunologic status of FIV infected cats by raising the CD4/CD8 ratio. In FeLV infection PMEA and AZT appeared to reduce antigenemia. The hematological side effects caused by PMEA were severe and stronger than those of AZT. Therefore the advantage of PMEA in clinical and immunologic improvement was diminished by the hematologic disorders, which do not allow long term treatment with this drug in the dose used.

1. SB-73, a magnesium ammonium phospholinoleate anhydride aggregate, exhibited antiviral action in vitro in the concentration range of 50 to 100 micrograms/ml against herpes simplex type 1, stomatitis vesicular virus, adenovirus type 5, and in vivo in the dose range of 0.7 to 1.3 mg/kg against canine parvovirus and distemper virus. 2. The lethal dose (LD50) was 2.71 +/- 1.55 g/kg body weight in mice inoculated intraperitoneally. Oral ingestion of the aggregate up to 30 g/kg body weight by mice had no lethal effects during the 14 days of observation. 3. In in vitro cytotoxicity experiments with fibroblasts (V-79 Chinese hamster cell line), no toxic effects were observed with SB-73 concentrations (120 micrograms/ml) having antiviral activity. 4. In a cellular proliferation experiment using hamster V-79 cells, we observed 72% proliferation after treatment of the cells with a high concentration (500 micrograms/ml) of SB-73. 5. Compound SB-73 showed no genotoxicity for human lymphocytes at concentrations of 100 micrograms/ml. 6. When the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of SB-73 were compared with those of acyclovir, idoxuridine and AZT at 500 micrograms/ml concentrations the compound was found to have effects similar to those of acyclovir.

The fluoroquinolone derivatives have been shown to inhibit human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication at the transcriptional level. We confirmed the anti-HIV activity of the most potent congener, 8-difluoromethoxy-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-7-[4-(2- methoxyphenyl)-1-piperazinyl]-4-quinolone-3-carboxylic acid (K-12), in both acutely and chronically infected cells. K-12 was active against different strains of HIV-1 (including AZT- and ritonavir-resistant HIV-1 strains), HIV-2 and simian immunodeficiency virus, in MT-4, CEM, C8166 and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In all of these antiviral assay systems, K-12 showed a similar activity (EC50 0.2-0.6 microM). K-12 inhibited Moloney murine sarcoma virus-induced transformation of C3H/3T3 cells with an EC50 of 6.9 microM. Also, K-12 proved inhibitory to herpesvirus saimiri, human cytomegalovirus, varicella-zoster virus and herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (in order of decreasing sensitivity), but was not inhibitory (at subtoxic concentrations) to human herpesvirus type 8 (as evaluated in BCBL-1 cells), vaccinia virus, Sindbis virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, respiratory syncytial virus, Coxsackie virus, Punta Toro virus, parainfluenza virus or reovirus. Time-of-addition experiments and quantitative transactivation bioassays indicated that K-12 inhibits the Tat-mediated transactivation process in HIV-infected cells.

Murine leukemia virus (MuLV)-derived retroviral vectors have had limited application in vascular gene therapy because of low transduction efficiency of vascular tissues, both in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we compared the gene transfer efficiency of two retroviral vectors: amphotropic MuLV and a MuLV vector pseudotyped with the vesicular stomatitis virus G glycoprotein (VSV-G) envelope. Target vascular tissues included human endothelial cells (EC), smooth muscle cells (SMC) and saphenous veins (SV). Transduction efficiency of human EC and SMC was significantly higher for VSV-G pseudotyped MuLV vector (90%) than for Amphotropic MuLV (20%). Luminal surface en face analysis of transduced cultured SV showed a six- to 10-fold greater transduction efficiency with VSV-G pseudotyped MuLV. The tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) gene was transduced into EC using each vector. Four days following transduction, a 12-fold higher tPA antigen concentration and a 38-fold higher tPA enzymatic activity was measured from cells transduced with the VSV-G pseudotyped vectors as compared with the amphotropic MuLV. There was no detectable pseudotransduction (protein transfer) associated with the VSV-G MuLV vector. Both AZT inhibition of reverse transcriptase and cell division arrest by gamma irradiation inhibited transduction, indicating that viral transduction correlated with RNA reverse transcription and cell proliferation. MuLV pseudotyped with the VSV-G envelope glycoprotein is an effective retroviral vector for vascular gene therapy.

1,2:5,6-Di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-d-glucofuranose on mild oxidation, reduction, fluorination, and deisopropylidenation followed by acetylation gave peracetylated 3-deoxy-3-fluoro-d-glucopyranose. This was coupled with silylated N(4)-benzoyl cytosine. The nucleoside was deacetylated and after several subsequent protection and deprotection steps afforded the desired 3-fluoro-2-keto-beta-d-glucopyranosyl derivatives. These novel synthesized compounds were evaluated for antiviral and cytotoxic activities against rotavirus, vesicular stomatitis virus, and the human colon adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2, and have a promising potential in combating the rotaviral infections and in the treatment of colon cancer. As compared to AZT, a nucleoside analogue of reverse transcriptase inhibitor, the novel synthesized 1-(3,4-dideoxy-3-fluoro-beta-d-glycero-hex-3-enopyranosyl-2-ulose)-N(4)-benzoyl cytosine showed to be more effective at lower concentrations in inhibition of rotavirus infection as well as in the same range of antitumor activity.

A probable NRTI molecule, viz. 3'-N,N-dimethylamino-2',3'-dideoxythymidine (4) and its 5'-O-carboxyl ester prodrugs - 5'-(N-alpha-BOC-L-phenylalanyl)-3'-N,N-dimethylamino-2',3'-dideoxythymidine (5), 5'-L-phenylalanyl-3'-N,N-dimethylamino-2',3'-dideoxythymidine (6) and 5'-decanoyl-3'-N,N-dimethylamino-2',3'-dideoxythymidine (7) have been synthesized and screened against HIV, HSV-1 and 2, parainfluenza-3, vesicular stomatitis and several other viruses. The compound 6 showed good antiviral activity with EC(50) value 0.03 microM (SI=8) against VSV in Hela and HEL cell lines. However, the lead compound 4 and its derivatives 5, 6 and 7 showed no remarkable activity against HIV-1 and other viruses. Molecular docking studies with HIV-1 RT using DS 2.5 and pymol softwares have shown marked differences in the interaction patterns between the lead compound 4 and AZT.

We conducted a phase I/II trial of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), calcium leucovorin (LV), zidovudine (AZT) and dipyridamole (DP), (FLAP) in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, renal cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma. AZT and DP were given to enhance the biochemical modulation and antitumor activity of 5-FU and LV. All patients received 5-FU (370 mg/m(2) i.v. bolus day 0-4), LV (50 mg/m(2) p.o. every 4 h day 0-4) and DP (50 mg/m(2) p.o. every 6 h days 0-27). In the phase I portion of the study, AZT was dose escalated in cohorts of 5 patients each, from 50 mg p.o. every 6 h days 0-27 to the MTD of 200 mg p.o. every 6 h days 0-27. Thirty-three patients received 200 mg of AZT in the phase II portion of the trial. Eleven patients developed grade III and 5 patients developed grade IV leukopenia. Four patients developed grade III and 21 patients developed grade IV neutropenia, with six febrile neutropenic episodes. Six patients experienced grade III anemia and four grade III thrombocytopenia. Diarrhea or stomatitis of greater than or equal to grade III occurred in six and four patients, respectively. Fifty-eight percent (19 of 33) of patients required dose reductions of AZT for hematologic toxicity (13 of 19 in the first treatment cycle). At the 200 mg AZT dose level, there were two partial responses in nine colorectal cancer patients (22%), no objective responses in 14 patients with renal cell carcinoma or in 14 patients with melanoma. FLAP does not have significant activity in melanoma, renal cell carcinoma or 5-FU-treated colorectal cancer patients, although it may have activity in untreated colon cancer.
