Abstract

2',3'-Dideoxy purine nucleosides have anti-HIV activity in vitro and the inosine analogue is being clinically evaluated. The instability of these compounds toward acidic conditions complicates oral administration. The effect of the addition of a fluorine atom to the 2'-position was investigated by preparing the fluorine-containing 2'-erythro and 2'-threo isomers of ddA and the threo isomer of ddI. All fluorine-containing compounds were indefinitely stable to acidic conditions which completely decomposed ddI (1) and ddA (2) in minutes. While the fluorine-containing erythro isomer, 5, was inactive, the threo isomers, 2'-F-dd-ara-A (3) and 2'-F-dd-ara-I (4), were just as potent and active in protecting CD4+ ATH8 cells from the cytopathogenic effects of HIV-1 as the parent drugs. Exposure to pH 1 at 37 degrees C prior to testing destroyed the activity of ddA and ddI but left the anti-HIV properties of 3 and 4 unchanged. The fluorinated analogues also protected cells exposed to HIV-2 and inhibited gag gene product expression but not as effectively as the parent compounds. The fluorine-containing analogues appear to be somewhat more toxic in vitro to the antigen- and mitogen-driven proliferation of immunocompetent cells than their co...Continue Reading
