Abstract
Enantiomers of 4'-aza-2',3'-dideoxynucleosides have been prepared by two different synthetic approaches, on the basis of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of a chiral nitrone. Cytotoxicity and apoptotic activity have been investigated. (5'S)-5-Fluoro-1-isoxazolidin-5-yl-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione [(-)-AdFU], while showing low level of cytotoxicity, is a good inductor of apoptosis on lymphoid and monocytoid cells, acting as a strong potentiator of Fas-induced cell death.File in questo prodotto:
