mino-3-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo[3,2-i]purine (6) has been prepar
ed from a fully protected 3,(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo[3,2-i]purin
e (2) and the 9-bromo substituted derivative 3 by nitration, followed
by re. duction. Reaction of romo-3-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazolo[3,2-
i]purine (1b) with alkali gave the (pyrazol-3-yl)imidazole derivative,
followed by diazocyclization with sodium nitrate to give syl)imidazol
o[4,5-d]pyrazolo[2,3-c][1,2,3]triazine (10) after deacetylation. Compo
unds 6 and 10 exhibited cytotoxic activity against leukemia cells.
