Keeping the potential synergy of biological activity of synthetic anomalous derivatives of deazapurines and L-ascorbic acid (L-AA) in mind, we have synthesized new 3-, 7- and 9-deazapurine derivatives of L-ascorbic (1-4, 8-10, 13-15) and imino-L-ascorbic acid (5-7, 11, 12, 16-19). These novel compounds were evaluated for their cytostatic and antiviral activity in vitro against a panel of human malignant tumour cell lines and normal murine fibroblasts (3T3). Among all evaluated compounds, the 9-deazapurine derivative of L-AA (13) exerted the most potent inhibitory activity on the growth of CEM/0 cells (IC50 = 4.1 +/- 1.8 mu M) and strong antiproliferative effect against L1210/0 (IC50 = 4.7 +/- 0.1 mu M) while the 9-deazahypoxanthine derivative of L-AA (15) showed the best effect against HeLa cells (IC50 = 5.6 +/- 1.3 mu M) and prominent effect on L1210/0 (IC50 = 4.5 +/- 0.5 mu M). Furthermore, the 9-deazapurine derivative disubstituted with two imino-L-AA moieties (18) showed the best activity against L1210/0 tumour cells (IC50 = 4.4 +/- 0.3 mu M) and the most pronounced antiproliferative effects against MiaPaCa-2 cells (IC50 = 5.7 +/- 0.2 mu M). All these compounds showed selective cytostatic effect on tumour cell lines in comparison with embryonal murine fibroblasts (3T3). When evaluating their antiviral activity, the 3-deazapurine derivative of L-AA (3) exhibited the highest activity against both laboratory-adapted strains of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) (AD-169 and Davis) with EC50 values comparable to those of the well-known anti-HCMV drug ganciclovir and without cytotoxic effects on normal human embryonal lung (HEL) cells.
