Abstract
Enzymatic transglycosylation reactions catalysed by Lactobacillus leichmannii nucleoside deoxyribosyltransferase type II in the presence of 7-methyl-2′-deoxyguanosine and modified pyrimidine heterocyclic bases were studied. The choice of 7-methyl-2′-deoxyguanosine as a nucleoside donor of a carbohydrate residue allowed the enzymatic synthesis of 5-substituted 2′-deoxyuridine derivatives in high yields. Biologically active 2ʹ-deoxyuridine derivatives were obtained, three ones currently used in clinical practice in antiviral and antitumour therapy. The selected enzyme-catalyst, initial ratios of molar concentrations of substrates and the selected nucleoside-donor – source of carbohydrate residue will make it possible to develop environmentally friendly biochemical methods for the preparation of practically important modified nucleosides.
