ABSTRACT
2-Chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine (cladribine, 1) was acylated with valproic acid (2) under various reaction conditions yielding 2-chloro-2'-deoxy-3',5'-O-divalproyladenosine (3) as well as the 3'-O- and 5'-O-monovalproylated derivatives, 2-chloro-2'-deoxy-3'-O-valproyladenosine (4) and 2-chloro-2'-deoxy-5'-O-valproyladenosine (5), as new co-drugs. In addition, 6-azauridine-2',3'-O-(ethyl levulinate) (8) was valproylated at the 5'-OH group (â9). All products were characterized by 1 H- and 13 C-NMR spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry. The structure of the by-product 6 (N-cyclohexyl-N-(cyclohexylcarbamoyl)-2-propylpentanamide), formed upon valproylation of cladribine in the presence of N,N-dimethylaminopyridine and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, was analyzed by X-ray crystallography. Cladribine as well as its valproylated co-drugs were tested upon their cancerostatic/cancerotoxic activity in human astrocytoma/oligodendroglioma GOS-3 cells, in rat malignant neuro ectodermal BT4Ca cells, as well as in phorbol-12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-differentiated human THP-1 macrophages. The most important result of these experiments is the finding that only the 3'-O-valproylated derivative 4 exhibits a significant antitumor activity while the 5'-O- as well as the 3',5'-O-divalproylated cladribine derivatives 3 and 5 proved to be inactive.
