Rp. Iyer et al., SYNTHESIS, HYDROLYTIC BEHAVIOR, AND ANTI-HIV ACTIVITY OF SELECTED ACYLOXYALKYL ESTERS OF TRISODIUM PHOSPHONOFORMATE (FOSCARNET SODIUM), Journal of pharmaceutical sciences, 83(9), 1994, pp. 1269-1273
The synthesis and anti-HIV activity of selected (acyloxy)alkyl esters
of trisodium phosphonoformate (foscarnet sodium) are described. The co
nversion of bis(trimethylsilyl) (alkoxycarbonyl)phosphonates 11a-d to
the corresponding disilver salts 12a-d and their subsequent reaction w
ith iodoalkyl acrylates 4a-c gave the desired bis(acyloxyalkyl) phosph
onates 6-9(a-c). Of the analogs tested, only the dichlorophenyl analog
9a showed a dose-dependent inhibition of HIV activity in H9 cells. Us
ing P-31-NMR, bioreversibility has been investigated in an attempt to
rationalize these results.
