RESUMEN
The DNA repair genes have a crucial function in the base excision repair (BER) mechanism among different cancerous disorders, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The foremost objective of this study is to explore the association of genetic variants of the APEX1 p.Asp148Glu and the XRCC1 p.Gln399Arg with the susceptibility of HCC and to identify the computational bioinformatics frameworks of these missense variants. A total of 250 participants were enrolled in this study, including 150 HCC patients and 100 cancer-free controls. The genomic DNA was characterized and genotyped by applying the PCR-CTPP method. The frequency of the APEX1 (rs1130409*Glu) allele was statistically significant with increased risk of HCC (OR = 1.66, 95% CI = 1.12-2.45), while the XRCC1 (rs25487*Gln) allele conferred a protection against the progression of HCC (OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.42-0.96). Furthermore, HCC patients carrying the APEX1 p.Asp148Glu and the XRCC1 p.Gln399Arg variants indicated no significant difference with the clinical, and laboratory parameters (p > .05). Our findings confirmed that the APEX1 p.Asp148Glu variant was associated with increased risk of HCC, while the XRCC1 p.Gln399Arg variant revealed protection against the development of HCC.

Regioselective alkylation of 2-thiouracils 1a-c and 4-thiouracils 7a,b with 2,3-O-isopropylidene-2,3-dihydroxypropyl chloride (2) afforded 2-[[(2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl) methyl]thio]pyrimidin-4(1H)-ones 3a-c and 4-[[(2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl]thio] pyrimidin-2(1H)-ones 8a,b, respectively. Further alkylation with 2 and/or 2,3-O-isopropylidine-1-O-(4-toluenesulfonyl)-glycerol (4) gave the acyclo N-nucleosides 5a-c and 9a,b whose deprotection afforded 6a-c and 10a,b. 2-(Methylthio)pyrimidin-4(1H)-ones 11a-c and 4-(methylthio)pyrimidin-2(1H)-ones 14a,b were treated with 2 and/or 4 to give 12a-c and 15a,b which were deprotected to give 13a-c and 16a,b. Pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dithiones 17a-c were treated with two equivalents of 2 to give 2,4-bis[[(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl]thio] pyrimidines 18a-c. Deprotection of compounds 18a-c gave 2,4-bis[(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)thio]pyrimidines 19a-c. The activity of the deprotected nucleosides against Hepatitis B virus was evaluated and showed moderate inhibition activity against HBV with mild cytotoxicity.

Reverse nucleoside derivatives of 2-(methylsulfanyl)uracils 6a-d were prepared by treating of the sodium salt of 2-(methylsulfanyl)uracils (5a-d) with methyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-5-O-p-toluenesulfonyl-beta-D-ribofuranoside (2). The alkylation of 2-thiouracils 4a-d with methyl 5-deoxy-5-iodo-2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-ribofuranoside (3) afforded the corresponding S-ribofuranoside derivatives 8a-d. Deisopropylidenation of 6a-d and 8a-d afforded the corresponding deprotected derivatives 7a-d and 9a-d, respectively. The Anti-HBV activity of selected compounds was studied.

Condensation of the silylated pyrimidines 5a-c with methyl 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-toluoyl-D-pentofuranoside 6, using trimethylsilyltriflate as catalyst gave anomeric mixtures of 2'-deoxynucleosides 7a-c, the pure alpha- and beta-anomers were separated and deprotected with sodium methoxide in methanol to give 1-(2'-deoxy-alpha-D-pentafuranosyl)-4-hydroxy-5-substituted-6(1H)-pyrimidinones 10a,b and 13a and their corresponding beta-anomers 11a,b and 13b.
