Synthesis of hypoxanthine, guanine, and 6-thiopurine nucleosides of 6-deoxy-D-allofuranose. 1983

V Nelson, and H S El Khadem, and B K Whitten, and D Sesselman

Hypoxanthine, guanine, and 6-thiopurine nucleosides of 6-deoxy-D-allofuranose have been prepared as potential antitumor agents. Thus, reaction of 6-deoxy-beta-D-allofuranosyl bromide (1) with the trimethylsilyl derivatives of hypoxanthine and guanine afforded mixtures of the 9- and the 7-substituted bases, which were separated and deblocked with ammonia to give 9-(6'-deoxy-beta-D-allofuranosyl)hypoxanthine (6), 7-(6'-deoxy-beta-D-allofuranosyl)hypoxanthine (7), 9-(6'-deoxy-beta-D-allofuranosyl)guanine (8), and 7-(6'-deoxy-beta-D-allofuranosyl)guanine (9). The two nucleosides with the purine joined at the N-9 position, namely, 6 and 8, are easily distinguished from the other two nucleosides (7 and 9), having N-7 junctions, by their NMR spectra. Reaction of 1 with the trimethylsilyl derivative of 6-chloropurine afforded 10, which upon treatment with thiourea and deblocking gave 9-(6'-deoxy-beta-D-allofuranosyl)-6-thiopurine (12). The hypoxanthine and guanine nucleosides showed no inhibition of mouse leukemia L1210 when tested in vivo, but the thiopurine nucleoside 12 showed strong inhibition of growth of L1210 both in vivo and in vitro. Compound 7 strongly inhibited purine nucleoside phosphorylase (KI = 8.8 X 10(-5) M), while compounds 8, 9, 6, and 12 were inactive.

D007042 Hypoxanthines Purine bases related to hypoxanthine, an intermediate product of uric acid synthesis and a breakdown product of adenine catabolism.
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
