5-(2-Oxopropylideneamino)-6-d-ribitylaminouracil (5-OP-RU) is a natural product formed during bacterial synthesis of vitamin B2. It potently activates mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells and has immunomodulatory, inflammatory, and anticancer properties. This highly polar and unstable compound forms a remarkably stable Schiff base with a lysine residue in major histocompatibility complex class I–related protein (MR1) expressed in antigen-presenting cells. Inspired by the importance of the ribityl moiety of 5-OP-RU for binding to both MR1 and the T cell receptor (TCR) on MAIT cells, each OH was removed in silico. DFT calculations and MD simulations revealed a very stable hydrogen bond between the C3′?OH and uracil N1H, which profoundly restricts flexibility and positioning of each ribityl-OH, potentially impacting their interactions with MR1 and TCR. By using deoxygenation strategies and kinetically controlled imine formation, four monodeoxyribityl and four monohydroxyalkyl analogues of 5-OP-RU were synthesised as new tools for probing T cell activation mechanisms.

TRPM2 (transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily M, member 2) is a nonselective cation channel involved in the response to oxidative stress and in inflammation. Its role in autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases makes it an attractive pharmacological target. Binding of the nucleotide adenosine 5′-diphosphate ribose (ADPR) to the cytosolic NUDT9 homology (NUDT9H) domain activates the channel. A detailed understanding of how ADPR interacts with the TRPM2 ligand binding domain is lacking, hampering the rational design of modulators, but the terminal ribose of ADPR is known to be essential for activation. To study its role in more detail, we designed synthetic routes to novel analogues of ADPR and 2′-deoxy-ADPR that were modified only by removal of a single hydroxyl group from the terminal ribose. The ADPR analogues were obtained by coupling nucleoside phosphorimidazolides to deoxysugar phosphates. The corresponding C2″-based analogues proved to be unstable. The C1″- and C3″-ADPR analogues were evaluated electrophysiologically by patch-clamp in TRPM2-expressing HEK293 cells. In addition, a compound with all hydroxyl groups of the terminal ribose blocked as its 1″-β-O-methyl-2″,3″-O-isopropylidene derivative was evaluated. Removal of either C1″ or C3″ hydroxyl groups from ADPR resulted in loss of agonist activity. Both these modifications and blocking all three hydroxyl groups resulted in TRPM2 antagonists. Our results demonstrate the critical role of these hydroxyl groups in channel activation.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A new method for efficient radical deoxygenation of alcohols is described for preparing bulk chemicals avoiding scale-up problems. Treatment of various thiocarbonyl derivatives with (Bu 4N)2S2O8 and HCO2Na in DMF afforded the corresponding deoxygenated products in excellent yields. The deoxygenation appears to be initiated by the transfer of a single electron to thiocarbonyl derivatives from CO2?- rather than from SO4?-.
