Exploring human adenosine A3 receptor complementarity and activity for adenosine analogues modified in the ribose and purine moiety
摘要:
In this paper we investigated the influence on affinity, selectivity and intrinsic activity upon modification of the adenosine agonist scaffold at the 3- and 5'-positions of the ribofuranosyl moiety and the 2- and N-6-positions of the purine base. This resulted in the synthesis of various analogues, that is, 3-12 and 24-33, with good hA(3)AR selectivity and moderate-to-high affinities (as in 32, K-i = 27 nM). Interesting was the ability to tune the intrinsic activity depending on the substituent introduced at the 3'-position. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis and antiviral activity of 3′-C-branched-3′-deoxy analogues of adenosine
摘要:
The synthesis of some 3'-C-branched-3'-deoxy adenine nucleosides is described, Starting from the known 3-deoxy-3-C-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2;5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-alpha-D-allofuranose (1), a versatile glycosylating agent, namely 1,2-di-O-acetyl-5-O-benzoyl-3-deoxy-3-C-(mesyloxymethyl)-beta-D-ribofuranose (6), was prepared in three steps, Condensation of the latter with bis(trimethysilylated) N-6-benzoyladenine in the presence of tin(IV) chloride gave the N-9-beta-nucleoside 7. Compound 7 was converted into (i) 9-[3-C-(azidomethyl)-3-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl]adenine (10), (ii) 9-[3-C-(azidomethyl)-2,3-dideoxy-beta-D-glycero-pent-2-enofuranosyl]adenine (14) and 9-[2-azido-3-C-(azidomethyl)-2,3-dideoxy-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl]adenine (15), and (iii) 9-[3-deoxy-2-O,3-C-(methylene)-beta-D-ribofuranosyl]adenine (16). None of the tested nucleosides showed marked cytostatic or antiviral activity in vitro. (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
