The Application of Phosphoramidate Protide Technology to Acyclovir Confers Anti-HIV Inhibition
摘要:
Recently, it has been reported that phosphorylated acyclovir (ACV) inhibits human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) reverse transcriptase in a cell-free system. To deliver phosphorylated ACV inside cells, we designed ACV monophosphorylated derivatives using ProTide technology. We found that the L-alanine derived ProTides show anti-HIV activity at noncytotoxic concentrations; ester and aryl variation was tolerated, ACV ProTides with other amino acids, other than L-phenylalanine, showed no detectable activity against HIV in cell culture. The inhibitory activity of the prodrugs against herpes simplex virus (HSV) types-1 and -2 and thymidine kinase-deficient HSV-1 revealed different structure-activity relationships but was again consistent with successful nucleoside kinase bypass. Enzymatic and molecular modeling studies have been performed in order to better understand the antiviral behavior of these compounds. ProTides showing diminished carboxypeptidase lability translated to poor anti-HIV agents and vice versa, so the assay became predictive.

cancer, however their limitations in terms of cellular uptake, nucleoside kinase-mediated activation and catabolism are well-documented. The monophosphate pro-nucleotides known as ProTides represents a powerful strategy for bypassing the dependence on active transport and nucleoside kinase-mediated activation. Herein, we report the structural tuning of BVdU ProTides. Forty six phosphoramidates were
核苷是治疗癌症的主要化疗药物,但其在细胞摄取、核苷激酶介导的激活和分解代谢方面的局限性已有充分记录。被称为 ProTides 的单磷酸前核苷酸代表了一种绕过对主动转运和核苷激酶介导的激活的依赖的强大策略。在此,我们报告了 BVdU ProTides 的结构调整。制备了 46 种氨基磷酸酯,并针对三种不同的癌细胞系进行了生物学评估;鼠白血病 (L1210)、人 CD 4 + T 淋巴细胞 (CEM) 和人宫颈癌 (HeLa)。与 BVdU 相比,针对 L1210 细胞的效力增强了 20 倍。有趣的是,与无活性的母体 BVdU 相比,许多 ProTides 对 CEM 和 HeLa 细胞表现出较低的微摩尔活性。ProTides 对非致瘤性人肺成纤维细胞培养物显示出即使有可测量的毒性,也很差。报道了四对非对映异构体混合物的分离以及它们的光谱特性、生物活性和酶活化率的比较。
