Abstract
  • To provide potential new leads for the treatment of orthopoxvirus infections, the 5-position of the pyrimidinenucleosides have been modified with a gem diether moiety to yield the following new nucleosides: 5-(dimethoxymethyl)-2‘-deoxyuridine (2b), 5-(diethoxymethyl)-2‘-deoxyuridine (3b), 5-formyl-2‘-deoxyuridineethylene acetal (4b), and 5-formyl-2‘-deoxyuridine propylene acetal (5b). These were evaluated in humanforeskin fibroblast cells challenged with the vaccinia virus or cowpox virus. Of the four gem diethernucleosides, only the dimethyl gem diether congener showed significant antiviral activity against both viruses.This antiviral activity did not appear to be related to the decomposition to the 5-formyl-2‘-deoxyuridine,which was itself devoid of anti-orthopoxvirus activity in these assays. Moreover, at the pH of the in vitroassays, 2b was very stable with a decomposition (to aldehyde) half-life of >15 d. The anti-orthopoxvirusactivity of pyrimidine may be favored by the introduction of hydrophilic moieties to the 5-position sidechain.
