Photoactivable deoxyadenosine mimic, 3-deaza-3-nitro-2'-deoxyadetiosine (2), was prepared using two different synthetic routes. The first route involved base catalyzed glycosylation of 3-deaza-3-nitroadenine, which was prepared by regioselective nitration of 3-deazaadenine. In the second route, the convertible nucleoside 6-O-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-3-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine (28) was used to introduce 6-NH2 group in the last step. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

In the course of our study on fungal purine transporters, a number of new 3-deazapurine analogues have been rationally designed, based on the interaction of purine substrates with the Aspergillus nidulans FcyB carrier, and synthesized following an effective synthetic procedure. Certain derivatives have been found to specifically inhibit FcyB-mediated [3H]-adenine uptake. Molecular simulations have
Synthesis and antimycobacterial activities of non-purine analogs of 6-aryl-9-benzylpurines: Imidazopyridines, pyrrolopyridines, benzimidazoles, and indoles
6,9-Disubstituted purines and 7-deazapurines are known to be powerful inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) in vitro. Analogs modified in the six-membered ring (imidazopyridines, pyrrolopyridines, benzimidazoles, and indoles) were synthesized and evaluated as Mtb inhibitors. The targets were prepared by functionalization on the bicyclic heterocycle or from simple pyridines. The results reported herein, indicate that the purine N-1, but not N-3, is important for binding to the unknown target. The 3-deazapurines appears to be slightly more active compared to the parent purines and slightly less active than their 7-deazapurine isomers. Removal of both the purine N-3 and N-7 did not result in further enhanced antimycobacterial activity but the toxicity towards mammalian cells was increased. Both 3-deaza and 3,7-dideazapurines exhibited a modest activity against of the Mtb isolate in the state of non-replicating persistence. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
