Figure 4. Competitive displacement of [32P]NAADP (0.2 nm) with
.
authentic NAADP (squares) or synthetic NAADP 1 (triangles) from
sea-urchin homogenate: Samples diluted in GluIM, then 0.2 nm
[32P]NAADP in the presence of increasing NAADP added and incu-
bated at room temperature for 20 mins. Samples filtered through
Whatman GF/B filters to separate bound and free [32P]NAADP ligand.
Nonspecific binding is defined byincubation of the homogenate in the
presence of 10 mm NAADP; n=3ÆSEM; data expressed as specific
cpm.

messenger pathway. Enzymatic conversion into 1 is confirmed
both by identical behavior when evaluated for Ca2+-release
properties against sea-urchin-egg homogenate and spectro-
scopic characterization. Expansion of the route to include
suitably protected beta-nicotinic acid mononucleotide (b-
NAMN) towards the first total chemical synthesis of 1 and
improved isolated yields of pyrophosphate will be reported in
due course.

2: Benzyl NADP 9 (15 mg, 0.018 mmol), 10% Pd/C (15 mg) and
cyclohexadiene (100 mL) in a degassed mixture of H2O:MeOH (3:1, v/
v, 2 mL) were stirred at room temperature under an argon atmos-
phere for 3 h, after which the palladium was filtered and the resulting
filtrate subject to ion-exchange chromatography (AG MP-1) by using
a 150 mm aqueous TFA gradient. Fractions were combined and
lyophilized to yield 2 as a white powder (10 mg, 77%): 1H NMR

1: NADP 2 (4 mg 5 mm) and 100 mm nicotinic acid (12 mg) in a
100 mm aqueous AcOH/NaOH (pH 4, 1 mL) were incubated with
5 mL of ADP-ribosyl cyclase at room temperature. After 5 h, HPLC
analysis (AG MP-1, aqueous TFA) showed complete consumption of
NADP and formation of NAADP (RT = 16.8 mins). The crude
mixture was purified on an ion-exchange resin (AG MP-1) by using
an aqueous TFA gradient (150 mm), the product eluted at 15% TFA.
Combined fractions were evaporated under vacuum at room temper-
ature and lyophilized overnight to afford 1 as a white powder (2.5 mg,
