Synthesis and antiviral activity of some 5′-N-phthaloyl-3′-azido-2′,3′-dideoxythymidine analogues was written by Balzarini, Jan;De Clercq, Erik;Kaminska, Beata;Orzeszko, Andrzej. And the article was included in Antiviral Chemistry & Chemotherapy in 2003.Reference of 24407-32-7 This article mentions the following:
A variety of substituted 5′-N-phthaloyl-3′-azido-2′,3′-dideoxythymidine derivatives has been evaluated for their activity against HIV-1, HIV-2 and Moloney murine sarcoma virus (MSV) in cell culture. Most of the 3′-azido-2′,3′-dideoxythymidine (AZT, zidovudine) derivatives showed antiviral activity in the lower micromolar concentration range and there was a close correlation between their anti-HIV and anti-MSV activity (r=0.99). The adamantyl phthaloyl derivative was active at submicromolar concentrations None of the compounds showed marked cytostatic activity. They did not inhibit recombinant HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. All compounds were inactive against HIV in thymidine kinase-deficient cells, pointing to the compounds’ requirement to release free AZT to afford antiviral efficacy. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 4,5,6,7-Tetrabromoisoindoline-1,3-dione (cas: 24407-32-7Reference of 24407-32-7).
4,5,6,7-Tetrabromoisoindoline-1,3-dione (cas: 24407-32-7) belongs to indole derivatives. Indole, first isolated in 1866, and it is commonly synthesized from phenylhydrazine and pyruvic acid, although several other procedures have been discovered. It is used in perfumery and in making tryptophan, an essential amino acid, and indoleacetic acid (heteroauxin), a hormone that promotes the development of roots in plant cuttings.Reference of 24407-32-7
