Abstract

4′-Fluoro-2′,3′-O-isopropylidenecytidine was synthesized by the treatment of 5′-O-acetyl-4′-fluoro-2′,3′-O-isopropylideneuridine with triazole and 4-chlorophenyl dichlorophosphate followed by ammonolysis. The interaction of 4′-fluoro-2′,3′-O-isopropylidenecytidine with hydroxylamine resulted in 4′-fluoro-2′,3′-O-isopropylidene-5′-O-acetyl-N 4-hydroxycytidine. The removal of the 2′,3′-O-isopropylidene groups led to acetyl derivatives of 4′-fluorouridine, 4′-fluorocytidine, and 4′-fluoro-N 4-hydroxycytidine. 4′-Fluorouridine 5′-O-triphosphate was obtained in three steps starting from 4′-fluoro-2′,3′-O-isopropylideneuridine. 4′-Fluorouridine 5′-O-triphosphate was shown to be an effective inhibitor of HCV RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and a substrate for the NTPase reaction catalyzed by the HCV NS3 protein, the hydrolysis rate being similar to that of ATP. It could also activate a helicase reaction with an efficacy of only threefold lower than that for ATP.
