Category: pyrimidinesIn 1998, Kim, Jack C.;Lee, Min-Hwa;Choi, Soon-Kyu published 《Synthesis and antitumor evaluation of cis-(1,2-diaminoethane)dichloroplatinum(II) complexes linked to 5- and 6-methyleneuracil and -uridine analogs》. 《Archives of Pharmacal Research》published the findings. The article contains the following contents:
The search for platinum(II)-based compounds with improved therapeutic properties prompted the design and synthesis of a new family of water-soluble, 3rd generation cis-diaminedichloroplatinum(II) complexes linked to uracil and uridine. Six heretofore unreported uracil and uridine-platinum(II) complexes are [N-(uracil-5-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine]dichloroplatinum(II) (3a), [N-(uracil-6-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine]dichloroplatinum(II) (3b), {[N-(2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyl)uridine-5-ylmethyl]ethane-1,2-diamine}dichloroplatinum(II) (6a), {[N-(2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyl)uridine-6-ylmethyl]ethane-1,2-diamine}dichloroplatinum(II) (6b), [N-(uridine-5-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine]dichloroplatinum(II) (7a) and [N-(uridine-6-ylmethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine]dichloroplatinum(II) (7b). These analogs were prepared from the key starting materials, 5-chloromethyluracil (1a) and 6-chloromethyluracil (1b) which were reacted with ethylenediamine to afford the resp. 5-[(2-aminoethyl)aminomethyl]uracil (2a) and 6-[(2-aminoethyl)aminomethyl]uracil (2b). The cis-platin complexes 3a and 3b were obtained through the reaction of the resp. 2a and 2b with potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II). The heterocyclic nucleic acid bases 1a and 1b were efficiently introduced on the β-D-ribose ring via a Vorbruggen-type nucleoside coupling procedure with hexamethyldisilazane, trimethylchlorosilane and stannic chloride under anhydrous acetonitrile to yield the stereospecific β-anomeric 5-chloromethyl-2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyluridine (4a) and 6-chloromethyl-2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyluridine (4b) resp. The nucleosides 4a and 4b were coupled with ethylenediamine to provide the resp. 5-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]methyl-2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyluridine (5a) and 6-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]methyl-2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyluridine (5b). The diaminouridines 5a and 5b were reacted with potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II) to give the novel nucleoside complexes 6a and 6b, resp., which were deacetylated into the free nucleosides 7a and 7b by treatment with CH3ONa. The cytotoxic activities were evaluated against three cell lines (FM-3A, P-388 and J-82) and none of the synthesized compounds showed any significant activity. To complete the study, the researchers used 6-(Chloromethyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (cas: 18592-13-7) .
6-(Chloromethyl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (cas: 18592-13-7 Category: pyrimidines) was used in the synthesis of: 5-bromo-6-(chloromethyl)uracil, pteridine compounds, potential anticancer agents, substituted uracil pyridinium compounds, potential inhibitors of thymidine phosphorylase.
