tools for studying and therapeutically inhibiting SAM-dependent methyltransferases (MTases). Some MTases play significant roles in host–pathogen interactions, one of which is Clostridioides difficile-specific DNA adenine MTase (CamA). CamA is needed for efficient sporulation and alters persistence in the colon. To discover potent and selective CamA inhibitors, we explored modifications of the solvent-exposed
S-腺苷-l-甲硫氨酸 (SAM) 类似物是研究和治疗性抑制 SAM 依赖性甲基转移酶 (MTase) 的适应性工具。一些 MTase 在宿主-病原体相互作用中发挥重要作用,其中之一是艰难梭菌特异性DNA 腺嘌呤MTase (CAMA)。CAMA 是有效孢子形成所必需的,并改变结肠中的持久性。为了发现有效且选择性的 CAMA 抑制剂,我们探索了 SAM腺苷部分暴露于溶剂的边缘的修饰。从两个母体化合物(6e和7)开始,我们设计了一种腺苷类似物(11a),其在腺嘌呤N6-氨基上带有3-苯基丙基部分,在硫原子上带有3-(环己基甲基胍)-乙基部分核糖环。化合物11a (IC 50 = 0.15 μM) 的抗 CAMA 功效分别比6e和7强 10 倍和 5 倍。CAMA-DNA-抑制剂复合物的结构表明,11a采用U形构象,两个分支相互折叠,两端的脂肪环和芳香环相互作用。11a占据了腺苷结合位点旁边的整个疏水表面(显然是

Previous structure-coronary vasoactivity correlations of the N6-alkyladenosine analogues of N6-[(R)-1-phenyl-2-propyl]adenosine, 1, support the hypothesis that the coronary artery A2 adenosine receptor contains an N6 region of specialized structure. The part of this receptor region that binds the 2-propyl moiety of 1 determines stereoselectivity and contributes to coronary vasoactivity. The present study uses 92 adenosine analogues containing an aryl group in the N6 substituent to test the hypothesis that the N6 receptor region contains an aryl subregion that binds the phenyl moiety of 1 and thereby contributes to its coronary vasoactivity. N6-Aralkyladenosines are often more potent than their alkyl congeners. Two methylene residues seem to provide optimum separation of the aryl group from N6. Among adenosines with semirigid N6 substituents, N6-[(1R,2S)-trans-2-phenylcyclohexyl]adenosine was uniquely active, evidence that when 1 occupies the receptor, the axis of the propyl C-1 to phenyl C-1 bond is nearly in the plane described by N6 and propyl C-1 and C-2. The torsion angle around this bond is unknown. Replacing the phenyl group of N6-2-phenethyladenosine with a thienyl or a 3-pyridyl group raises activity. The structure-activity relationships of the N6-(arylethyl)-, the N6-(arylmethyl)-, and the N6-phenyladenosines differ strinkingly from each other. Taken together, such results support the idea that the N6 region of the dog coronary artery A2 adenosine receptor includes an aryl subregion.

As part of a project aimed at structure-based design of adenosine analogues as drugs against African trypanosomiasis, N-6-, 2-amino-N-6-, and N-2-substituted adenosine analogues were synthesized and tested to establish structure-activity relationships for inhibiting Trypanosoma brucei glycosomal phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH). Evaluation of X-ray structures of parasite PGK, GAPDH, and GPDH complexed with their adenosyl-bearing substrates led us to generate a series of adenosine analogues which would target all three enzymes simultaneously. There was a modest preference by PGK for NG-substituted analogues bearing the 2-amino group. The best compound in this series, 2-amino-N-6-[2 "-(p-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]adenosine (46b), displayed a 23-fold improvement over adenosine with an IC50 of 130 muM. 2-[[2 "-(p-Hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]amino]adenosine (46c) was a weak inhibitor of T. brucei PGK with an IC50 of 500 muM. To explore the potential of an additive effect that having the N-6 and N-2 substitutions in one molecule might provide, the best ligands from the two series were incorporated into N-6,N-2-disubstituted adenosine analogues to yield N-6-(2 " -phenylethyl)-2-[(2 " -phenylethyl)amino]adenosine (69) as a 30 muM inhibitor of T. brucei PGK which is 100-fold more potent than the adenosine template. In contrast, these series gave no compounds that inhibited parasitic GAPDH or GPDH more than 10-20% when tested at 1.0 mM. A 3.0 Angstrom X-ray structure of a T, brucei PGK/46b complex revealed a binding mode in which the nucleoside analogue was flipped and the ribosyl moiety adopted a syn conformation as compared with the previously determined binding mode of ADP. Molecular docking experiments using QXP and SAS program suites reproduced this "flipped and rotated" binding mode.
