This reaction can be smoothly performed in water and leads to a simple purification of the thioalkylnylated
nucleoside that only requires the extraction of the compound with warm EtOAc from the aqueous crude mixture.

Biological evaluation
in vitro cytotoxicity toward human fibroblast cells
and anti-proliferative activity against four human
cancer cell lines: Leukemic T Jurkat and K562, colon
carcinoma HCT116 and ovarian cancer A2780
Cytotoxic activity of bile acid-based conjugates and
alkynyl deoxyadenosines dA-A, HdA-A, and SdA-A on
human cancer cell lines and human fibroblast cellsa
Anti-proliferative activity of conjugated
compounds against the K562 cell line
Percentage of apoptotic K562 cells determined after
24 h treatment with HdA-CDC, SdA-CDC and HM-CDC
(50–10 mM) by annexin V staining.
Conclusion
OMe
• Best activity was shown by CDCbased derivatives and could be
correlated to the lipophilicity and to
the 7a-OH group orientation;

X
• furthermore, except dA-UDC and HM-bile acid series, all new
conjugates did not show any significant cytotoxicity towards
the human fibroblast cells whereas some of them strongly and
selectively inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in
leukemic K562 cells;
• therefore, these derivatives constitute a starting lot of
candidate drugs.
…however many questions are still open
Do other nucleobases work?
Does the ribo form work?
How much important is the triazole ring?
