Abstract:
This study presents the synthesis and multi-target behavior of the new 5'-hydroxy-3-(chalcogenyl-triazoyl)-thymidine and the biological evaluation of these compounds as antioxidant and anti-HIV agents. Objective: Antiretroviral therapy induces oxidative stress. Based on this, the main objective of this manuscript is the preparation of compounds that combine anti-HIV and antioxidant activities. Methods: The compounds were prepared from commercially available AZT, through a copper-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions exploiting the AZT azide group and chalcogenyl alkynes. Results: The chalcogenium-AZT derivatives were obtained in good yields via click chemistry. The compounds evaluated showed antioxidant and anti-HIV activity. Additionally, in vivo toxicity of this class of compounds was also evaluated and the representative nucleoside did not change the survival, behavior, biochemical hepatic, and renal markers compared to the control mice. Conclusion: Data suggest the feasibility of modifying the AZT nucleus with simple organochalcogen fragments, exploring the reactivity of the azide group via 1,3-dipolar Huisgen cycloaddition reaction. The design of these new compounds showed the initially desired biological activities.
