Various O-acyl and N-acyl derivatives of 2'-deoxy-5-trifluoromethyluridine (F3Thd) were synthesized; namely 5'-O-acyl, 3', 5'-di-O-acyl, N3-acyl, 3', 5'-di-O-acetyl-N3-acyl, 3', 5'-di-O-carbamoyl and 3', 5'-di-O-ethoxycarbonyl compounds. 5'-O-Acyl derivatives of 2'-deoxy-5-trifluoromethylcytidine were also synthesized.The antitumor activities of these compounds against sarcoma 180 were examined by oral administration to mice. Among the 5'-and 3', 5'-diester compounds with aliphatic acids, the 5'-O-hexanoyl compound showed the highest activity. Full protection of the sugar moiety with aroyl or carbamoyl groups considerably decreased the activities, and those of the 3', 5'-di-O-m-fluorobenzoyl and 3, 5'-di-O-butylcarbamoyl compounds were the smallest. N3-Benzoyl compounds were slightly more effective than F3Thd but none of them showed higher activity than the effective O-acyl compounds. In the case of 5'-O-acylates of 2'-deoxy-5-trifluoromethylcytidine, the 5'-O-benzoyl compound showed the highest activity.

Various O-alkoxyalkyl derivatives of 2'-deoxy-5-trifluoromethyluridine (F3Thd) were synthesized, and the antitumor activities of the compounds against sarcoma 180 were examined by oral administration to mice. Among the formal-type derivatives, 3', 5'-di-O-ethoxymethyl (3), 3', 5'-di-O-benzyloxymethyl (12), 5'-O-benzyloxymethyl (13) and 3'-O-benzyloxymethyl (14) compounds showed high activities, which were six-fold higher than that of F3Thd itself. Since acetal-type derivatives were unstable under acidic conditions, antitumor testing of the compounds was also carried out with co-administration of sodium bicarbonate. 5'-O- (1-Ethoxypropyl) -F3Thd (25) and 5'-O- (1-benzyloxypropyl) -F3Thd (37) showed the highest activities among the acetal-type derivatives, but the ED50 values of the compounds were not lower than those of effective formal-type compounds.These O-alkoxyalkyl derivatives of F3Thd are resistant to degradation by thymidine phosphorylase and are activated by microsomal drug-metabolizing enzymes after absorption.
