Abstract: Seven5-fluorouracil-N1-carbonyl amino acid benzyl esters(1a-g) were respectively prepared by the reaction of 5-fluorouracil-N1-carbonyl chloride with benzyl esters of glycine, valine, leucine, phenylalanine and bisbenzyl esters of aspartic and glutamic acids. These esters were then hydrogenated to obtain the corresponding5-fluorouracil-N1-carbonyl aminoacids (2a-c). 2Cand 2ewere further coupled with aminoacid methyl esters or dipeptide methyl esters by DCC-mediated coupling reaction to afford 5-fluorouracil-N1-carbonyl dipeptide or tripeptide methyl esters (3a-d, 4a,b). 5-Fluorouracii-N1-Carbonyl dipeptide methyl esters (5n-d) were also obtained directly by the reaction of 5-fluorouracil-N1-carbonyl chloride with dipeptide methyl esters. The antitumor activity of some of the above compounds was tested against EAC or S180in mice.
