A Novel Imidazole Nucleoside Containing a Diaminodihydro-S-triazine as a Substituent: Inhibitory Activity Against the West Nile Virus NTPase/Helicase
摘要:
The attempted synthesis of a ring-expanded guanosine (1) containing the imidazo[4,5-e][1,3]diazepine ring system by condensation of 1-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-4-ethoxycarbonylimidazole-5-carbaldehyde (2) with guanidine resulted in the formation of an unexpected product, 1-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-erythropentofuranosyl)-5-(2,4-diamino-3,6-dihydro-1,3,5-triazin-6-yl)imidazole-4-carboxamide (7). The structure as well as the pathway of formation of 7 was corroborated by isolation of the intermediate, followed by its conversion to the product. Nucleoside 7 showed promising in vitro anti-helicase activity against the West Nile virus NTPase/ helicase with an IC 50 of 3-10 mu g/mL.

An efficient and convenient method has been described for the selective conversion of an estergroup into the corresponding carboxamide in vinylogous ester–aldehydes of imidazole. The method uses excess guanidine, which protects the aldehyde function as a diaminodihydro-s-triazine moiety. The carboxaldehyde group is regenerated by hydrolysis of the triazine moiety to provide vinylogous amide–aldehydes
An analogue of AICAR with dual inhibitory activity against WNV and HCV NTPase/helicase: Synthesis and in vitro screening of 4-carbamoyl-5-(4,6-diamino-2,5-dihydro-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)imidazole-1-β-d-ribofuranoside

The title compound (4) was synthesized by the reaction of ethyl 1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-5-formylimidazole-4-carboxylate with excess guanidine in ethanol at reflux. Compound 4 was evaluated in vitro against NTPases/helicases of four different viruses of the Flaviviridae family, including the West Nile virus (WNV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), dengue virus (DENV), and the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), employing both an RNA and a DNA substrate. The compound showed activity against NTPase/helicase of WNV and HCV with an IC50 of 23 and 37 mu M, respectively, when a DNA substrate was employed, while no activity was observed when an RNA substrate was used. There was no activity against the NTPase/helicase of either DENV or JEV irrespective of whether an RNA or a DNA substrate was employed. Considering that Flaviviridae are RNA viruses, the observed absence of activity against an RNA substrate, but the presence of activity against a DNA substrate is intriguing and somewhat surprising. The preliminary studies show that compound 4 does not form a tight complex with either an RNA or a DNA substrate, suggesting that its mechanism of action may involve direct interaction with the enzyme.
