A series of novel 2′-deoxyuridines with a thienyl substituent in the 5-position were synthesized as potential anti-HSV-1 agents. The brominated derivatives (1d, 1e and 3b) were obtained via halogenation reactions of the protected 5-(thien-2-yl)-2′-deoxyuridine and 5-(thien-3-yl)-2′-deoxyuridine, respectively. The palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reaction with stannylated thiophene was used for the synthesis of ( E)-5-(2-thienylvinyl)-2′-deoxyuridine and 5-(5,2′-dithien-2-yl)-2′-deoxyuridine. These compounds show moderate to good activity against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in the order of decreasing activity 1d>4>1e>3b∼5. Finally, two substituted 5-isoxazol derivatives of 2′-deoxyuridine (6a and 6b) were obtained via a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the protected 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine. These new compounds demonstrated poor affinity for the virus-specific enzyme thymidine kinase.

A library of novel 2-substituted derivatives of the antibiotic natural product pentenomycin I is presented. The new collection of analogues is divided in two main classes, 2-alkynyl- and 2-aryl- derivatives, which are accessed by the appropriate type of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of the 2-iodo-protected pentenomycin I with suitable nucleophiles. The new derivatives were tested for their activity against certain types of bacteria and one of them, compound 8h, was found to exhibit significant inhibitory activity against several Gram-positive bacteria but also displayed cytotoxic activity against eukaryotic cell lines.

To develop a safer immunosuppressant for organ transplantation and autoimmune disease treatment, in this study, several of novel amino alcohol derivatives containing thioether moiety were synthesized with 7-bromo-tetralin-2-one as starting material, and Suzuki coupling reaction and Bucherer-Bergs reaction as key steps. Their activity as sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor type 1 (S1P1) agonists were evaluated by [γ-35S] GTP binding assay. Among the thioether substituted compounds, compound 10 showed good activity as S1P1 agonist at low micromolar concentration (EC50 = 0.698 μmol/L). The result suggested that it has potential activity against autoimmune diseases and immunosuppressant of organ transplantations.

Four 1,4-naphthoquinone dithioglucoside derivatives based on natural polyhydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinones were synthesized. These thioglucosides were screened for their antiradical and antiviral activity in vitro. Antiradical activity of tested compounds was determined by the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging assay. The anti-herpes simplex virus type 1 (anti-HSV-1) activity of thioglucosides was analyzed by the cytopathic effect inhibition assay and mode of antiviral action was determined by the addition of the tested compounds to uninfected cells, to the virus prior to infection, or to herpes-infected cells. Most effective inhibition of HSV-1 replication was observed at pretreatment of virus by the compounds (direct virucidal effect). The dithioglucoside conjugate with the single β-OH group and lipophilic ethyl substituent in naphthoquinone core showed the greatest antiviral activity.

Treatment of selectively 3′,5′-protected β-D-xylofuranosyl nucleosides (4) with phenyl chlorothionocarbonate and DMAP followed by hydrogenolysis of the resulting (2′-O-phenoxythiocarbonyl) phenyl thionocarbonate esters (6) with tributylstannane/AIBN, and deprotection, gave 2′-deoxy-β-D-threo-pentofuranosyl nucleosides (7). Formation of a by-product bis(nucleosid-2′-yl)thionocarbonate dimer (8) was detected in the uracil nucleoside reaction sequence. Its subsequent reduction provides one explanation for "reversion to starting alcohol" in Barton-type deoxygenation reactions. Only the guanine 2′-deoxynucleoside analogue (7b) had (weak) antiviral activity (against herpes simplex virus type 1).

ABSTRACT Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and HSV-2 are neurotropic viruses and common human pathogens causing major public health problems such as genital herpes, a sexually transmitted disease also correlated with increased transmission and replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Therefore, compounds capable of blocking HIV-1, HSV-1, and HSV-2 transmission represent candidate microbicides with a potential added value over that of molecules acting selectively against either infection. We report here that sulfated derivatives of the Escherichia coli K5 polysaccharide, structurally highly similar to heparin and previously shown to inhibit HIV-1 entry and replication in vitro, also exert suppressive activities against both HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections. In particular, the N,O-sulfated [K5-N,OS(H)] and O-sulfated epimerized [Epi-K5-OS(H)] forms inhibited the infection of Vero cells by HSV-1 and -2, with 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) between 3 ± 0.05 and 48 ± 27 nM, and were not toxic to the cells at concentrations as high as 5 μM. These compounds impaired the early steps of HSV-1 and HSV-2 virion attachment and entry into host cells and reduced the cell-to-cell spread of HSV-2. Since K5-N,OS(H) and Epi-K5-OS(H) also inhibit HIV-1 infection, they may represent valid candidates for development as topical microbicides preventing sexual transmission of HIV-1, HSV-1, and HSV-2.
