Abstract

Nelarabine is a prodrug of the deoxyguanosine analogue, 9-β-D-arabinofuranose guanine (ara-G), which is used for the treatment of patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL). For the clinical study of nelarabine and its active ingredient, ara-G, a suitable isotope-labeled internal standard was required. Effective and operationally simple methods for the synthesis of [D4]]nelarabine and [D3]ara-G were developed with high deuterium incorporation using D2O, CD3OD and NaBD4 as deuterium sources. It was found that [D3]ara-G was useful as an internal standard instead of [D4]nelarabine.
