PHOSPHORYLATION OF CYTARABINE WITH CYCLO-TRIPHOSPHATE IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION

摘要

Phosphorylation of cytarabine has been achieved using inorganic cyclo —triphosphate (P_(3m)) in aqueous solution. The optimum condition for the phosphorylation of cytarabine with P_(3m) is cytarabine : P_(3m) = 1 : 10, pH 12 and 25 °C. Cytarabine 5′–triphosphate, cytarabine 3′–triphosphate, and cytarabine 2′–triphosphate were synthesized with the total yield of more than 75%. The phosphorylated products of cytarabine were stable in neutral and alkaline solution. The reaction mechanism of cytarabine with P_(3m) was discussed.
