Recently we reported the adenine derivatives 3a-d as novel interferon (IFN) inducers. In the present study, we conducted a detailed structure-activity relationship study of analogues of 3a-d with respect to their IFN-inducing activity, mainly focusing on the N(9)-position of the adenine. From this study, we found that introduction of the 3-pyridylmethyl moiety was effective to increase in vitro activity, and compound 9ae was identified as being the most potent IFN inducer. This compound gave a minimum effective concentration (MEC) of 3 nM, which is comparable with that of R-848, a second generation IFN inducer. Compound 9ae also demonstrated potent IFN-inducing activity at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg by oral administration in mice. Furthermore, compound 9ae induced IFN in monkeys in a dose dependent manner, with a potency superior to that of R-848. In addition, 9ae did not cause emesis in ferrets even at a dose of 30 mg/kg. In this study the maximum plasma concentration of 9ae was 1019 ng/mL (ca. 3.1 microM), which was approximately 1000-fold higher than the MEC value. Therefore, with respect to both the efficacy and the safety margin, compound 9ae (SM-276001) is considered to be a promising compound as an orally active IFN inducer.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007369 Interferon Inducers Agents that promote the production and release of interferons. They include mitogens, lipopolysaccharides, and the synthetic polymers Poly A-U and Poly I-C. Viruses, bacteria, and protozoa have been also known to induce interferons. Inducers, Interferon
D007372 Interferons Proteins secreted by vertebrate cells in response to a wide variety of inducers. They confer resistance against many different viruses, inhibit proliferation of normal and malignant cells, impede multiplication of intracellular parasites, enhance macrophage and granulocyte phagocytosis, augment natural killer cell activity, and show several other immunomodulatory functions. Interferon
