S. D. GERO, J. CLEOPHAX, D. MERCIER, and A. OLESKER Institute de Chimie des Substances Naturelles, CNRS, 91190 Gif sur Yvette, France For several years quite a few C-Nucleosides antibiotics have been found to display interesting antiviral and antitumoral acti vities (1-3). In these natural occurring antibiotics (Figure 1) the two heterocyclic systems are separated by a solid carbon-car bon bond. These linkages are not subject of either hydrolytic or enzymatic cleavage. The synthesis of such molecules is a diffi cult task in organic chemistry, but the preparation of such mole cules has been described by several laboratories (4-7). However, there are very few data dealing with the preparation of modified C-Nucleosides antibiotics (8-10). Considerable efforts (11-12) have also been made in the last years to replace the oxygen hetero-atom with another hetero-atom or to replace (18-20) the hydroxy-methylene or methylene groups with another hetero-atom. In the artisteromycin 1, the oxygen atom of the adenosine has been substituted (13-14) with a methy lene group, the oxygen atom of D-glucose has been replaced in the 5-thio-D-glucose 2, and in the nojirimycine 3, with a sulfur (1516) and with a nitrogen (17) hetero-atom, respectively. Oxa- and thia-prostaglandines 4 and 5 have been described in the literature (18-20). Along this line, we have been interested in recent years in our laboratory in creating synthon intermediates which can be transformed to modified C-Nucleosides and 11-oxaprostaglandines. Our approaches for these problems are outlined in Figure 2. We thought if the two functionalized epoxydes 6 and 8 could be synthesized, then they can be transformed to a modified C-Nucleo side antibiotics 7 and to the tetrahydrofuranoide system 9, and the latter then can be transformed to 11-oxaprostaglandines. These two epoxydes were unknown in the literature and we syn thesized them from the readily available D-Xylose. D-Xylose was transformed to the 2,5-anhydro-di-isobutyl-dithioacetal-D-Xylose 10, prepared by Zinner (1959) (21) and this is converted by well -established methods to the highly functionalized 11. The latter was treated with 2.5 molar of methanolic sodium methoxide and a mixture of the desired epoxydes 13 and 14 were obtained in a 70% 64

vage to the antibiotic neomycin. Consequently, i n the neomycin biosynthesis the neamine must be on the biosynthetic pathway. Most probably, the third subunit C -the D-ribosyl, - and the fourth subunit D, - neosamine Β - were attached successively. Similarly, to our results, pseudo d i - and t r i - saccharides have also been transformed by D"mutants isolated from Micromonospora inyoensis or Micromonospora purpurea to sisomicin and gentamicin types antibiotics (35, 36). These studies, which w i l l be continued i n our laboratories, should have an important bearing for many academic questions on the detailed biosynthesis of these antibiotics, and also should provide a very powerful new biochemical methodology producing new type of antibiotics.
