Novel regioisomers of conformationally constrained analogues of the potent es nucleoside transporter ligand, nitrobenzylmercaptopurine riboside (NBMPR), designed for probing its bound (bioactive) conformation, were synthesized and evaluated as es transporter ligands by flow cytometry. Purine 6-position 5, 6, 7, or 8-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolylpurine ribosides, in which the nitrobenzyl moiety in NBMPR has been locked into the nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline system, were synthesized by reaction of the appropriate nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline with 6-chloropurine riboside. Flow cytometry was performed using 5-(SAENTA)-X8-fluorescein as the competitive ligand. A high degree of variation in the es transporter binding capacity of the target compounds was observed, with the Ki values ranging from 0.45 nM for the most tightly bound compound (4) to 300 nM for the least tightly bound compound (5). The Ki of NBMPR was 0.70 nM, a little higher than that of compound 4. Compound 4 is the isomer that has the nitro group in the best orientation at the es transporter binding site compared to the other three compounds, 2, 3, and 5.

5-Nitro-, 3-methyl-5-nitro-, 5,7-dinitro-, 5-chloro-8-nitro- and 8-chloro-5-nitroisoquinoline (1a-e) as well as 5-nitroisoquinoline N-oxide (1f) are aminated with a liquid methylamine solution of potassium permanganate (LMA/PP) to the corresponding mono- or mono- and bis(methylamino)-substituted nitro compounds 2 (a-m). 1-Nitroisoquinoline (1g) is aminated with LMA/PP to 1-(methylamino)isoquinoline (2n).Quantum-chemical calculations for some mononitroisoquinolines suggest that, in general, the experimentally observed regioselectivity of the amination is controlled by an interaction of frontal molecular orbitals (FMO) of the reagents. - Key Words: Methylaminations / Calculations, FMO / Isoquinolines / Aminations / Nitro compounds
