文摘

Squaric acid and its derivatives are versatile synthons and have demonstrated applications in medicinal chemistry, notably as non-classical bioisosteric replacements for functional groups such as carboxylic acids, alpha-amino acids, urea, guanidine, peptide bonds and phosphate/pyrophosphate linkages. Surprisingly, no reports have appeared concerning its possible application as a nucleobase substitute in nucleosides. A preliminary investigation of such an application is reported herein. 3-Amino-4-((1R,4S)-4-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopent-2-en-1-yl)amino-cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione, 3-((1R,4S)-4-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopent-2-en-1-yl)amino-4-methoxycyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione, and 3-hydroxy-4-((1R,4S)-4-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopent-2-en-1-yl)amino-cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione sodium salt were synthesized. Computational analyses of their structures and preliminary antitumor and antiviral screening results are reported.
