The present invention provides liquid crystalline compounds having a high voltage holding ratio and a remarkably high Δε value, electric and chemical stability, and having good compatibility with known liquid crystalline compounds, liquid crystal compositions containing the compound, and liquid crystal display devices constituted by using the compounds. The liquid crystalline compounds of the present invention are particular dioxane derivatives represented by general formula (1). Further, the present invention relates to liquid crystal compositions characterized in that the compositions comprise at least one of the derivatives, and liquid crystal display devices constituted by using the compositions.

A series of 1-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-5-benzyluracils were synthesized and tested for inhibition of murine liver uridine phosphorylase (UrdPase). Inhibitors of UrdPase are reported to enhance the chemotherapeutic utility of 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine and 5-fluorouracil and to ameliorate zidovudine- induced anemia in animal models. We prepared a series of 5-aryl-substituted analogues of 5-benzylacyclouridine (BAU), a good inhibitor of UrdPase (IC50 of 0.46 μM), to develop a compound with enhanced potency and improved pharmacokinetics. The first phase of structure-activity relationship studies on a series of 32 aryl-substituted 5-benzyluracils found several 5-(3- alkoxybenzyl) analogues of 5-benzyluracil with enhanced potency. The acyclovir side chain, the (2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl group, was substituted on the more potent aryl-substituted 5-benzyluracils. The two most potent compounds, 10y (3-propoxy) and 10dd (3-sec-butoxy), were inhibitors of UrdPase with IC50s of 0.047 and 0.027 μM, respectively. Six compounds were tested in vivo for effects on steady-state concentrations of circulating uridine in rats. Plasma uridine levels were elevated 3-9-fold by compound levels that ranged from 8 to 50 μM.
