WHEREIN Y is selected from the group consisting of 1.
wherein R is a radical selected from the group consisting of aliphatic of from 1 through 20 carbon atoms, aromatic of from 6 through 10 carbon atoms, cage-type hydrocarbon of from 7 through 20 carbon atoms, monocyclic aliphatic of from 4 through 10 carbon atoms, araliphatic of from 7 through 12 carbon atoms and monocyclic heterocyclic of from 4 through 10 carbon atoms, including such radicals substituted by halogen, hydroxyl, carboxyl, nitro, alkoxyl or mercapto groups; 2.
wherein R'' is a radical selected from the group consisting of aliphatic of from 1 through 20 carbon atoms, aromatic of from 6 through 10 carbon atoms, araliphatic of from 7 through 12 carbon atoms, AND Z is selected from the group consisting of Y and hydrogen; and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof. The novel 3''-0-esters (III) and 3'',5''-di-0-esters (IV) are embraced by the formula
WHEREIN Z and Y are as given above, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof. The novel 2'',3''-di-0-esters (V) are embraced by the formula
WHEREIN Y is as given above, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof. The compounds of the above formulae are orally active sustainedrelease immunosuppressant and anti-neoplastic agents having the characteristics of the anti-leukemic compound ara-cytidine.
Abstract:
wherein X is the conjugate base of a strong acid and R is a radical selected from the group consisting of straight or branched chain aliphatic or alicylic radicals containing from 1 through 20 carbon atoms; monocyclic or bicyclic aromatic radicals of from 6 through 20 carbon atoms; monocyclic heterocyclic radicals of from 4 through 10 carbon atoms; araliphatic radicals of from 7 through 12 carbon atoms; or cage-type hydrocarbon radicals containing from 7 through 20 carbon atoms; and including such radicals substituted by halogen, hydroxyl, carboxyl, nitro, alkoxyl or mercapto substituent groups. It also pertains to the preparation from compounds of formulas I and II of 5''-O-acylates of ara-cytidine. Further, it pertains to pharmaceutical compositions of compounds of formulas I and II and a process for treatment of pathological conditions therewith. Compounds of formulas I and II have immunosuppressive activities.
and the acid addition salts thereof. It also pertains to the preparation of novel 5''-O-acyl-2,2''-anhydro-ara-cytidines of the formula II
This invention relates to a novel process for preparing the known useful compound 2,2''-anhydro-ara-cytidine (also known as O2, 2''-anhydro-ara-cytidine and O2O2 -anhydro-1- Beta -Darabinofuranosylcytosine) having the formula I
