Abstract
Two series of N4-hydroxycytidine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as potential antipox virus agents. Acylation of N4-hydroxycytidine (1) with an excess of acyl chloride or imidazolide yielded the corresponding N4-(acyloxy) derivatives. 5'-Phosphonates of 1 were prepared by the reaction of cytidine 5'-phosphonates with aqueous hydroxylamine hydrochloride (pH 6.0). Nucleoside 1 and its N4-(acyloxy) derivatives inhibited replication of pox viruses in cell cultures, N4-(pivaloyloxy)- and N4-(benzoyloxy)cytidines being the most potent. The synthesized 5'-phosphonates were more cytotoxic than the parent nucleoside.
