Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel 2′-deoxy-2′-fluoro-2′-C-methyl 8-azanebularine derivatives as potent anti-HBV agents
2019
Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a global health problem requiring more efficient and better tolerated anti-HBV agent. In this paper, a series of novel 2′-deoxy-2′-fluoro-2′- C -methyl-β- d -arabinofuranosyl 8-azanebularine analogues ( 1 and 2a) and N 4 -substituted 8-azaadenosine derivatives (2b-g) were designed, synthesized and screened for in vitro anti-HBV activity. Two concise and practical synthetic routes were developed toward the structural motif construction of 2′-deoxy-2′-fluoro-2′- C -methyl-β- d -arabinofuranosyl 8-azainosine from the ribonolactone 3 under mild conditions. The in vitro anti-HBV screening results showed that these 8-azanebularine analogues had a significant inhibitory effect on the expression of HBV antigens and HBV DNA at a concentration of 20 μM. Among them, halogen-substituted 8-azaadenosine derivative 2g displayed activities comparable to that of 3TC. In particular, 2g retained excellent activity against lamivudine-resistant HBV mutants.
