Regio- and Stereoselective Synthesis of 2′-Deoxy-4′-thioguanine Nucleosides: Evaluation of Anti-Hepatitis B Virus Activity and Cytotoxicity Leading to Improved Selectivity Index by 4′-C-Cyanation
Abstract
An N 9-regio- and β-anomer-selective 4′-thioglycosidation of purine bases has been developed. The reaction between a 2-deoxy-2-iodo-4-thioribofuranosyl glycosyl donor and N-(6-chloro-9H-purin-2-yl)-2-methylpropanamide gave the corresponding 2′-deoxy-4′-thiopurine nucleoside in 87% yield along with its N 7-regioisomer in 6% yield, without the formation of the α-anomer. By using a derivative obtained from 17, a practical chemical synthesis of 2′-deoxy-4′-thioguanosine was developed. 4′-α-C-Cyano-2′-deoxy-4′-thioguanosine was synthesized, starting from a 4-(acetoxymethyl)-2-deoxy-2-iodo-4-thioribofuranose derivative as a glycosyl donor. An evaluation of the anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity and the cytotoxicity toward the host cell revealed that 4'-C-cyano-2'-deoxy-4'-thioguanosine exhibited about 100 times more potent anti-HBV activity than 2′-deoxy-4′-thioguanosine with a comparative cytotoxicity, resulting in the identification of a novel molecule having better selectivity index value than that of 2′-deoxy-4′-thioguanosine. This finding might provide a guideline for the development of the next generation of anti-HBV agents.

nucleosides - glycals - deoxythioguanosine - medicinal chemistry - cytotoxicity - hepatitis B virusHepatitis B is one of the most prevalent viral diseases, with an estimated 400 million people affected globally, and is known to be a major cause of chronic disease, leading to cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma.[1] Five nucleoside/nucleotide analogues have been approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B; these include three nucleoside derivatives (entecavir, telbivudine, and lamivudine) and two nucleotide analogues (adefovir and tenofovir) (Figure [1]). The target enzyme of these molecules is hepatitis B virus (HBV) polymerase, a multifunctional protein with RNA- and DNA-dependent DNA polymerase functions that are essential for viral replication. Despite this successful development of anti-HBV agents, the synthesis of novel nucleoside derivatives with different core structures is essential to combat the emergence of resistant strains of the virus.
4′-Thionucleosides, in which the oxygen atom in the furanose ring is replaced by a sulfur atom, have attracted much attention since the discovery of the antiviral and antitumor activities of 4′-thiothymidine (1) and 2′-deoxy-4′-thiocytidine (2) (Figure [2]).[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] The 4′-thionucleoside 2′-deoxy-4′-thioguanosine (3) has been reported to exhibit potent inhibitory activity toward HBV and has been recognized as a lead compound for the next generation of anti-HBV agents.[7]
In addition, recent reports have revealed that 4′-C-Cyano-2′-deoxyguanosine (4) shows highly potent anti-HBV activity (Figure [3]).[8] Stimulated by these facts, we became interested in the synthesis and the evaluation of the anti-HBV activity of the novel 2′-deoxy-4′-thioguanosine 5, substituted with a cyano group at the 4′-position. This letter describes the development of a method for the synthesis of 5, and the evaluation of its anti-HBV activity and cytotoxicity toward host cells.
We have previously described an N-iodosuccinimide (NIS)-mediated electrophilic glycosidation by the 4-C-ethynyl-4-thiofuranoid glycal 6 of the trimethylsilylated derivative of compound 7 (TMS-7), leading to the formation of three isomeric glycosides: the N 9-glycoside 8 (25% yield), the N 7-glycoside 9 (12% yield), and the N 1-glycoside 10 (29% yield) (Scheme [1]).[9] Although the glycosidation gave the corresponding β-anomer as the sole stereoisomer, three regioisomers were formed.
By using this protocol, we synthesized the β-anomer of the 2′-deoxy-4′-thioguanosine derivative 12, a key intermediate for the synthesis of the parent 3 (Scheme [2]). Thus, the glycal 11 [6] reacted with the TMS-7 in the presence of NIS to give the desired N 9-glycoside 12 in 11% isolated yield, along with the N 7-glycoside 13 (48% yield) and the N 1-glycoside 14 (22% yield). The structures of products 12–14 were determined by comparison of their UV spectral data (λmax and λmin) with those of compounds 8–10 (Scheme [1] and 2), and on the basis of NOE experiments (Figure [4]).
In the Lewis acid-mediated glycosidation between a 4-thioribofuranose derivative and a purine base, it has been reported that N 7-4′-thiopurine ribonucleosides isomerize to the corresponding N 9-glycosides under heated reaction conditions.[6] [10] [11] To improve the low yield of the desired 12, a Lewis acid-promoted glycosidation using 15 [12] as a glycosyl donor was examined (Scheme [3]). Thus, when 15 reacted with the TMS-7 in the presence of TMSOTf, the target product 12 was obtained as the major regioisomer in 38% isolated yield, along with the N 9-isomer 13 (21% yield). In this glycosidation reaction, the formation of the N 1-glycoside 14 was suppressed to a trace amount. Furthermore, by using N-(6-chloro-9H-purin-2-yl)-2-methylpropanamide (16)[13] as a basis, the target N 9-glycoside 17 was obtained in 87% isolated yield, along with its N 7-isomer 18 in 6% isolated yield. The depicted structures of 17 and 18 were determined on the basis of heteronuclear multiple bond correlation (HMBC) and NOE experiments (Figure [5]).[14]
To clarify the reaction pathway of the Lewis acid-mediated glycosidation shown in Scheme [3], the N 7-glycosides 13 and 18 and the N 9-glycosides 12 and 17 were subjected to the above reaction conditions (Scheme [4]). The N 7-glycoside 13 gave a mixture of the isomerized N 9-glycoside 12 and recovered 13 in isolated yields of 30 and 33%, respectively, whereas N 7-glycoside 18 gave the N 9-glycoside 17 in a 75% yield along with recovered 18 in a 14% yield. The N 9-glycoside 12 gave a mixture of recovered 12 and the isomerized N 7-isomer 13 in yields of 45 and 24%, respectively. A similar result was obtained in the case of 17, which gave recovered 17 (85% yield) and the isomerized 18 (9% yield).
These results suggested that the kinetically controlled N 7-glycoside isomerizes to the corresponding thermodynamically controlled target N 9-2′-deoxy-4′-thiopurine ribonucleoside at ambient temperature due to the weaker glycosidic bond of the 2′-deoxynucleoside compared with that of the 4′-thioribonucleoside (Scheme [5]). At present, there is no clear explanation why the yield of 17 was higher than that of the corresponding N 9-glycoside 12.
This highly regio- and stereoselective glycosidation enabled us to develop a practical chemical synthesis leading to the β-anomer of the parent 3. Thus, 17 was subjected to Et3B-initiated radical reduction to give 19 in 99% yield (Scheme [6]). Next, removal of the silyl-protecting group of 19, followed by the transformation of 19 into the corresponding guanine nucleoside with HOCH2CH2SH and NaOMe at 80 °C gave the β-anomer of 3 in 91% isolated yield over two steps. The 1H NMR spectral data for the sample of 3 synthesized in this study were consistent with those reported in the literature.[7] This is the first example of a regio- and stereoselective chemical synthesis of the β-anomer of 3.
With this successful synthesis of 3, a synthesis of the target molecule 4′-C-cyano 5 was performed (Scheme [7]). Glycosidation by the glycosyl donor 20 [12] of TMS-16 proceeded in an N 9-regioselective and β-stereoselective manner to furnish the desired glycoside 21 in 72% isolated yield, along with the regioisomer 22 (7% isolated yield).[15] The structures of 21 and 22 were confirmed by comparison of their UV spectra with those of 17 and 18, and by the NOE experiments shown in Figure [6]. Radical reduction of 21 gave 23 in 97% yield. When 23 was treated with NaOMe in MeOH at –20 °C, the 4′-C-(hydroxymethyl)-6-methoxypurine derivative 24 was obtained in 52% yield, with 42% recovery of 23. Oxidation of 24 with Dess–Martin periodinane, followed by the reaction of the resultant aldehyde 25 with HONH2 gave oxime 26. Oxime 26 was treated with MsCl/Et3N in CH2Cl2 to give the cyano derivative 27 in 70% yield from 24. Compound 27 was then converted into 28 in 53% in two steps: (1) TMSCl/NaI and (2) Bu4NF/Ac2O. Global deprotection of 28 gave the target molecule 5 in 88% yield.
An evaluation of the anti-HBV activity of the parent compound 3 and the 4′-C-cyano derivative 5 synthesized in this study was conducted with HepG2 2.2.15 cells transfected with the HBV genome.[16] As shown in Table [1, 5] exhibited about 100 times more potent anti-HBV activity than 3, with a comparative cytotoxicity to that of 3. Thus, the novel 4′-C-cyano nucleoside 5 was found to have a significantly better selectivity index (SI) than that of the parent nucleoside 3.

In conclusion, an N 9-regioselective and β-anomer-selective 4′-thioglycosidation of purine bases has been developed. The reaction of the 2-deoxy-2-iodo-4-thioribofuranosyl glycosyl donor 15 with the N-(6-chloro-9H-purin-2-yl)-2-methylpropanamide (16) gave the corresponding 2′-deoxy-4′-thiopurine nucleoside 17 in 87% yield, along with its N 7-regioisomer 18 (6% yield), without the formation of the α-anomers. By using 17, a practical chemical synthesis of 2′-deoxy-4′-thioguanosine (3) was developed for the first time. The target 4′-α-C-Cyano-2′-deoxy-4′-thioguanosine (5) was synthesized from 4-(acetoxymethyl)-2-deoxy-2-iodo-4-thioribofuranose (20) as a glycosyl donor.
Evaluation of the anti-HBV activity and the cytotoxicity toward the host cells revealed that the target molecule 5 exhibited about 100 times more potent anti-HBV activity than 3, with a comparative cytotoxicity to that of 3. The novel 4′-thioguanine nucleoside 5 was therefore found to demonstrate a better SI value than that of the parent 3. This finding could provide a guideline for the development of the next generation of anti-HBV agents.
