Abstract

Starting from 2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyl-2-iodoadenosine, 9-(β-D-arabinofuranosyl)-2-(p-n-butylanilino)adenine and its 2′(S)-azido counterparts were synthesized in seven steps. These exhibited only moderate growth-inhibitory effects against mouse leukemic P388 cells (IC50 = 13–24 μM), although 5′-triphosphate derivatives showed strong and selective inhibitory action on calf thymus DNA polymerase α, but not on β- and ϵ-polymerases from eukaryotes. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Professor Tsujiaki Hata
