Abstract:

Using the potent anticancer agent 2-deoxy-2-chloro-1-amino sugar as a lead compound, its analogs were prepared in 6 steps starting from D-glucal. The key step was the synthesis of 2-chloro-1-acetamido sugars using (COCl)2-AgNO3-CH3CN system in high yields. 2-Deoxy-2-chloro-1-amino sugars were obtained by treating the corresponding acetamido sugars with HCl in MeOH. All the compounds, including the reference compound, displayed almost no cytotoxic activity to the selected cancer cell lines.

Key words: 2-Deoxy-2-chloro-1-amino sugars, Cytotoxic activity, Epimer
