Potent and Selective Ligands for Adenosine Binding Sites
摘要:
A number of selective ligands for the different binding sites of adenosine have been synthesized and tested in several pharmacological models. The aim of these synthetic efforts is both to improve the knowledge of structure-activity relationships in the adenosine-related biological systems and to develop drugs from some of these molecules.
Coupling of 2,6-Dichloropurine and 2,6-Dichlorodeazapurines with Ribose and Ribose Modified Sugars
摘要:
Substituted purine and deazapurine nucleosides are of great interest in medicinal chemistry. Furthermore, 3'-deoxynucleosides exhibit a number of biological activities. In this research the coupling of 2,6-dichloro-1- or 3-deazapurine with protected 3'-deoxyribose is reported. Depending upon coupling conditions and base structure, different anomeric and isomeric mixtures have been obtained. Extensive studies, utilizing chemical and physical methods, have been performed to assign the correct configuration to the resulting nucleosides.
2,6-Dichloro-1-deazapurine and 2,6-dichloro-3-deazapurine were coupled with 1,2-O-diacetyl-5-O-benzoyl-3-deoxy-beta -D-ribofuranose. Deprotection of the obtained compounds and reaction with liquid ammonia gave the desired 2-chloroadenine nucleosides, which were dechlorinated to afford the corresponding 1-deaza and 3-deazaadenosine derivatives. Biological studies performed on ADA from calf intestine showed that these new nucleosides are inhibitors of the enzyme.
