The synthesis of phenyl-substituted and benzo-annulated cycloSal phosphate triesters of the nucleoside analogue 2′,3′-dideoxy-2′,3′-didehydrothymidine (d4T, Zerit™) as lipophilic, membrane-soluble pronucleotides is described. The cycloSal moiety was introduced by using cyclic chlorophosphite agents prepared from phenyl-substituted saligenin derivatives and orthohydroxymethylated naphthols, respectively. Hydrolysis studies (HPLC analysis) of the triesters 2, 3 showed a range of hydrolytic stability from 1.4 h up to 5.1 h and the stability could be correlated with the substitution pattern in the cycloSal moiety. A slight decrease of their stability was observed, if phenyl-substituted derivatives were hydrolyzed in human CEM/O cell extracts. D4T and thymine, possible products of enzymatic cleavage of the pronucleotides, were not detected in the cell extracts. A further investigation of the hydrolysis process was performed by 31P-NMR spectroscopy. This technique allowed a precise monitoring of the degradation products and the exact determination of the product ratio. Finally, the newly synthesized compounds were tested concerning their antiviral activity against HIV in vitro. A strong correlation of the hydrolysis properties and the antiviral activity was found. 3-phenyl- cycloSal-d4TMP showed a threefold increase in its anti-HIV-1 activity and retained full activity in thymidine kinase (TK) deficient cells, indicative of a successful TK-bypass.

Callus induction of Nerium oleander young leaves explants was studied using Murashige & Skooge (MS) Medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid( 2,4-D 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0) mg/l with Benzyle adinine (BA0.0, 0.5 or 1.0, mg/l). comparative study was made for qualitative determination of some active compounds between the initiated callus and leaves of fieled plant (intact plant). Results showed that 2,4-D at 1.0 or 2.0 mg/l with BA at 0.5 or 1.0, mg/l were the best for callus induction that gave the highest fresh and dry weight. Qualitative detection showed that (Alkaloids, Flavonoids, Terpenoids, Tanins, Saponins, and Cardiac Glycosides) the main active compounds were found in callus and leaves of field-grown plant.
