Inhibition of Mycobacterial Replication by Pyrimidines Possessing Various C-5 Functionalities and Related 2′-Deoxynucleoside Analogues Using in Vitro and in Vivo Models
摘要:
Tuberculosis (TB) has become an increasing problem since the emergence of human immunodeficiency virus and increasing appearance of drug-resistant strains. There is an urgent need to advance our knowledge and discover a new class of agents that are distinct than current therapies. Antimycobacterial activities of several 5-alkyl, 5-alkynyl, furanopyrimiclines and related 2'-deoxynucleosides were investigated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Compounds with 5-arylalkynyl substituents (23-26,33, 35) displayed potent in vitro antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The in vivo activity of 5-(2-pyridylethyny1)-uracil (26) and its 2'-deoxycytidine analogue, 5-(2-pyridylethynyI)-2'-deoxycytidine (35), was assessed in BA LB/c mice infected with M. tuberculosis (H 37 Ra). Both compounds 26 and 35 given at a dose of 50 mg/kg for 5 weeks showed promising in vivo efficacy in a mouse model, with the 2'-deoxycytidine derivative being more effective than the uracil analogue and a reference drug o-cycloserine. These data indicated that there is a significant potential in this class of compounds.

The present invention relates to a method for assessing the sensitivity of a patient's cancer to treatment with 10-propargyl-10-deazaaminopterin and a method for selecting a patient for treatment of cancer with 10-propargyl-10-deazaaminopterin, by determining the amount of a selected polypeptide expressed by the cancer and comparing the amount with the amount of the selected polypeptide expressed by a reference cancer, wherein the polypeptide includes a member of folate pathways within cells and may include at least one of reduced folate carrier-1 enzyme (RFC-1), dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), folylpoly-gamma-glutamate synthetase (FPGS), thymidylate synthase (TS), γ-glutamyl hydrolase (GGH), and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFT). The present invention also relates to the use of 10-propargyl-10-deazaaminopterin in the treatment of multiple myeloma.

The object of the present invention is to provide a nucleoside or nucleotide having an unnatural base. The nucleoside or nucleotide of the present invention has a 5-substituted-2-oxo(1H)-pyridin-3-yl group as a base. Preferably, the 5-position of the above base is substituted with a substituent selected from the group consisting of the following: 1) a photoreactive group selected from iodine and bromine; 2) an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group or an amino group, or a derivative thereof; 3) biotin or a derivative thereof; and 4) a fluorescent molecule selected from fluorescein, 6-carboxyfluorescein, tetramethyl-6-carboxyrhodamine, and derivatives thereof.

Sensitivity of a patient's cancer to treatment with 10-propargyl-10-deazaaminopterin is assessed and patients are selected for treatment of cancer with 10-propargyl-10-deazaaminopterin, by determining the amount of a selected polypeptide expressed by the cancer and comparing the amount with the amount of the selected polypeptide expressed by a reference cancer. The polypeptide includes a member of a folate pathway polypeptide within a cell and may include at least one of reduced folate carrier-1 enzyme (RFC-1), dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), folylpoly-gamma-glutamate synthetase (FPGS), thymidylate synthase (TS), γ-glutamyl hydrolase (GGH), and glycinamide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (GARFT).

Methods, devices and kits are disclosed for detecting one or more target proteins in a sample suspected of containing a plurality of the target proteins. An assay medium comprising the sample is incubated with a surface (11a) of a substrate (11) comprising a plurality of capture agents (20, 22, 24) bound to the surface in a predetermined arrangement or pattern. For each target protein, at least two capture agents specific for different binding sites on the target protein are employed. The two capture agents are disposed on the surface of the substrate in a spatial relationship so that both bind to a molecule of the target protein, preferably the same molecule of the target protein. The binding to the molecule of the target protein is usually substantially simultaneous. The assay medium is incubated under conditions for binding of the capture agents to the target proteins. The substrate is then examined for the presence of the target proteins.
