Article Title: | Inhibitors of purine nucleoside phosphorylase: Effects of 9-deazapurine ribonucleosides and synthesis of 5‘-deoxy-5’-iodo-9-deazainosine |
Abstract: | 9-Deazapurine ribonucleosides constitute a new class of noncleavable purine nucleoside phosphorylase inhibitors that have at least 30-fold greater affinity for the enzyme than the corresponding C-nucleosides of the formycin B series. 9-Deazaguanosine, 9-deazainosine, and 5‘-deoxy-5’-iodo-9-deazainosine competitively inhibited human erythrocytic purine nucleoside phosphorylase with K1 values of 29, 20, and 1.8 x 10-7 M. The last compound is the most potent nucleoside inhibitor of the enzyme presently available and its synthesis is described. In contrast, 7,9-dideaza-7-thiainosine is a very weak inhibitor of the enzyme. When tested as an inhibitor of 2’–deoxyguanosine phosphorolysis in intact human erythrocytes and MOLT-3 human T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia cells, ‘-deoxy-5’ was equipotent with 8-aminoguanosine (which is a precursor for 8-aminoguanine, K1 = 2 x I0-7m).Similarly, 5‘-deoxy-5’-iodo-9-deazainosine and 8-aminoguanosine both potentiated the growth inhibition of human T-lymphocytic MOLT-3 cells by 2’–deoxyguanosine, reducing the 50% inhibitory concentration from -2 x 10-5 to -2 x 10–6M. © 1986, American Association for Cancer Research.
