Synthesis and anticancer activity of 5'-phthaloylnucleosides

Pharmazie. 2003 Mar;58(3):169-72.

Abstract

A series of novel 5'-phthaloylnucleosides were synthesized via Mitsunobu reaction starting from AZT or 2'-deoxyadenosine and numerous phthalimides and their sulphur analogues-thioimides. Some of them showed significant anticancer activity.
