Under the aegis of the Pilot Scale Library Program of the NIH Roadmap Initiative, a new library of propan-1-amine containing aza acyclic nucleosides was designed and prepared, and we now report a diverse set of 157 purine, pyrimidine, and 1,2,4-triazole- N-acetamide analogues. These new nucleoside analogues were prepared in a parallel high throughput solution-phase format. A set of diverse amines was reacted with several nucleobase N-propaldehydes utilizing reductive amination with sodium triacetoxyborohydride coupling to produce a small and diverse aza acyclic nucleoside library. All reactions were performed using 24-well reaction blocks and an automatic reagent-dispensing platform under an inert atmosphere. Final targets were purified on an automated system using solid sample loading prepacked cartridges and prepacked silica gel columns. All compounds were characterized by NMR and HRMS and were analyzed for purity by HPLC prior to submission to the Molecular Libraries Small Molecule Repository (MLSMR). Initial screening through the Molecular Libraries Probe Production Centers Network (MLPCN) demonstrated diverse and interesting biological activities.

D009705 Nucleosides Purine or pyrimidine bases attached to a ribose or deoxyribose. (From King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed) Nucleoside,Nucleoside Analog,Nucleoside Analogs,Analog, Nucleoside,Analogs, Nucleoside
D011687 Purines A series of heterocyclic compounds that are variously substituted in nature and are known also as purine bases. They include ADENINE and GUANINE, constituents of nucleic acids, as well as many alkaloids such as CAFFEINE and THEOPHYLLINE. Uric acid is the metabolic end product of purine metabolism.
D011743 Pyrimidines A family of 6-membered heterocyclic compounds occurring in nature in a wide variety of forms. They include several nucleic acid constituents (CYTOSINE; THYMINE; and URACIL) and form the basic structure of the barbiturates.
D000081 Acetamides Derivatives of acetamide that are used as solvents, as mild irritants, and in organic synthesis.
D000447 Aldehydes Organic compounds containing a carbonyl group in the form -CHO. Aldehyde
D000586 Amination The creation of an amine. It can be produced by the addition of an amino group to an organic compound or reduction of a nitro group. Aminations
D000588 Amines A group of compounds derived from ammonia by substituting organic radicals for the hydrogens. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Amine
D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.
