Antineoplastic activity of 3'-(chloroethyl)nitrosourea analogues of 2'-deoxyuridine and 2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine
Abstract:
The (chloroethyl)nitrosourea analogues of 2'-deoxyuridine and 2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine, 3'-[3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosoureido]-2',3'-dideoxyuridine (3'-CdUNU, 7) and 3'-[3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosoureido]-2,3'-dideoxy-5-fluorouridine (3'-CFdUNU, 8), have been synthesized by treatment of the corresponding 3'-amino nucleosides with chloroethyl isocyanate, followed by nitrosation of the resulting ureas. Nucleoside nitrosoureas 7 and 8 exhibited marked anticancer activity against L1210 leukemia in tumor-bearing mice. At an optimum dosage level of 40 mg/kg, 7 and 8 produced 90% and 60% "cures" (greater than 60-day survivors), respectively. The structure-activity relationships are discussed.
