- Regioselective 1-N-Alkylation and rearrangement of adenosine derivatives
-
Several methods for the preparation of some N6-substituted adenosines based on selective 1-N-alkylation with subsequent Dimroth rearrangement were developed. The proposed methods seem to be effective for the preparation of natural N6-isopentenyl- and N6-benzyladenosines, which are known to possess pronounced biological activities. Direct 1-N-alkylation of 2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetyladenosine and 3,5′-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxyadenosine with alkyl halides in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) in the presence of BaCO3 and KI gave 1-N-substituted derivatives with quantitative yields, whereas 1-N-alkylation of adenosine was accompanied by significant O-alkylation. Moreover, the reaction of trimethylsilyl derivatives of N6-acetyl-2,3,5′-tri-O-acetyladenosine and N6-acetyl-3,5′-di-O-acetyl-2-deoxyadenosine with alkyl halides leads to the formation of the stable 1-N-substituted adenosines. Dimroth rearrangement of 1-N-substituted adenosines in aqueous ammonia yields pure N6-substituted adenosines.

- Synthesis and evaluation of in vitro anticancer activity of some novel isopentenyladenosine derivatives
-
The present study describes the synthesis, the characterization and the evaluation of some derivatives of N6-isopentenyladenosine on T24 human bladder carcinoma cells. In particular we have modified the hydroxyl groups in the ribose moiety, the position of the isopentenyl chain in the purine ring and the base moiety. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by standard studies of NMR, MS and elemental analysis. We here show that only two derivatives, 1-(3-methyl-2-butenylamino)-9-(3′-deoxy-β-d-ribofuranosyl)-purine hydrobromide and 2-amino-6-(3-methyl-2- butenylamino)-9-(β-d-ribofuranosyl)-purine, inhibit the growth of T24 cells, although to a lower extent than N6-isopentenyladenosine. We conclude that the integrity of ribosidic and purine moiety and the N6 position of the chain are essential for maintaining the antiproliferative activity.
