Abstract A series of sulfonyl-containing 5-fluoro-2´-deoxyuridine (FdU) phosphotriester and phosphoramidate analogues were designed and synthesized as anticancer prodrugs of FdUMP. Stability studies have demonstrated that these compounds underwent pH dependent β-elimination to liberate the corresponding nucleotide species with half-lives in the range of 0.33 to 12.23 h under model physiological conditions in 0.1M phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 and 37 °C. Acceleration of the elimination was observed in the presence of human plasma. Compounds with FdUMP moiety (4-9) were considerably more potent than those without (1-3) as well as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) against Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (V-79 cells) in vitro. Addition of thymidine (10 µM) reversed the growth inhibition activities of only 5-FU and the compounds with FdUMP moiety, but had no effect on those without. These results suggested a mechanism of action of the prodrugs involving the intracellular release of FdUMP. Introduction 5-Fluoro-2´-deoxyuridine-5´-monophosphate (FdUMP) is the major metabolite responsible for the anticancer activity of 5-FU (Chart 1).

Methods: Clinical and quantitative nerve conduction study (NCS) examinations were performed on two occasions on chlorpyrifos manufacturing workers who had measurable chlorpyrifos exposure and a referent group. Baseline evaluations were performed on 53 of 66 eligible chlorpyrifos subjects and on 60 of 74 eligible referent subjects; one-year evaluations were completed on 111 of the 113 subjects evaluated at baseline. Results: Chlorpyrifos and referent groups differed significantly in measures of 3,5,6 trichloro-2-pyridinol excretion and plasma butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) activity, indicating substantially higher exposures See end of article for authors’ affiliations among chlorpyrifos subjects.

  • Enzymatic Degradation of Organophosphorus Pesticides and Nerve Agents by EC: 3.1.8.2
    catalysts Review Enzymatic Degradation of Organophosphorus Pesticides and Nerve Agents by EC: 3.1.8.2 Marek Matula 1, Tomas Kucera 1 , Ondrej Soukup 1,2 and Jaroslav Pejchal 1,* 1 Department of Toxicology and Military Pharmacy, Faculty of Military Health Sciences, University of Defence, Trebesska 1575, 500 01 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic; [email protected] (M.M.); [email protected] (T.K.); [email protected] (O.S.) 2 Biomedical Research Center, University Hospital Hradec Kralove, Sokolovska 581, 500 05 Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 26 October 2020; Accepted: 20 November 2020; Published: 24 November 2020 Abstract: The organophosphorus substances, including pesticides and nerve agents (NAs), represent highly toxic compounds. Standard decontamination procedures place a heavy burden on the environment. Given their continued utilization or existence, considerable efforts are being made to develop environmentally friendly methods of decontamination and medical countermeasures against their intoxication. Enzymes can offer both environmental and medical applications. One of the most promising enzymes cleaving organophosphorus compounds is the enzyme with enzyme commission number (EC): 3.1.8.2, called diisopropyl fluorophosphatase (DFPase) or organophosphorus acid anhydrolase from Loligo Vulgaris or Alteromonas sp. JD6.5, respectively. Structure, mechanisms of action and substrate profiles are described for both enzymes. Wild-type (WT) enzymes have a catalytic activity against organophosphorus compounds, including G-type nerve agents. Their stereochemical preference aims their activity towards less toxic enantiomers of the chiral phosphorus center found in most chemical warfare agents. Site-direct mutagenesis has systematically improved the active site of the enzyme. These efforts have resulted in the improvement of catalytic activity and have led to the identification of variants that are more effective at detoxifying both G-type and V-type nerve agents.

Murtadha All rights reserved 2020 iii ABSTRACT ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS OF ORGANOPHOSPHATES AND THEIR DERIVATIVES Name: Murtadha, Batool J. University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Jeremy Erb Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) are widely used in the agricultural industry especially in the pesticide market. Phosphates play a huge role as biological compounds in the form of energy carrier compounds like ATP, and medicine as antivirals. OPs have become increasingly important as evidenced by the publication of new methods devoted to their uses and synthesis. These well-established studies lay the basis for industrial organic derivatives of phosphorus preparations. The current work explored methods of synthesizing chiral organophosphate triesters. We experimented with different processes roughly divided into either an electrophilic or nucleophilic strategy using chiral Lewis acids, organocatalysts (HyperBTM), activating agents, and chiral auxiliaries with the goal of control stereoselectivity. These methods were explored through the use of different starting materials like POCl3, triethyl phosphate, methyl phosphordichloradate, and PSCl3.

Received: 13 May 2017; Accepted: 4 July 2017; Published: 11 July 2017 Abstract: Organophosphorus compounds containing P-C bonds are increasingly developed as flame retardant additives due to their excellent thermal and hydrolytic stability and ease of synthesis. The latest development (since 2010) in organophosphorus flame retardants containing P-C bonds summarized in this review. In this review, we have broadly classified such phosphorus compounds based on the carbon unit linked to the phosphorus atom i.e., could be a part of either an aliphatic or an aromatic unit. We have only considered those published literature where a P-C bond was created as a part of synthetic strategy to make either an intermediate or a final organophosphorus compound with an aim to use it as a flame retardant. General synthetic strategies to create P-C bonds are briefly discussed. Most popular synthetic strategies used for developing P-C containing phosphorus based flame retardants include Michael addition, Michaelis–Arbuzov, Friedels–Crafts and Grignard reactions.
