The HIV pol gene encodes three viral enzymes that are required for its replication. While drug discovery involving the viral targets, reverse transcriptase and protease, has resulted in useful therapeutic agents, such efforts on HIV integrase have not produced a single FDA-approved drug. In the work focused on the discovery of inhibitors of HIV integrase, we have synthesized new β-diketo acids with purine nucleobase scaffolds that are potent inhibitors of the strand transfer steps of wild-type HIV-1 integrase.

Adenine derivatives substituted in position 9 have been demonstrated to have potent cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibition properties with high selectivity toward PDE-4. Starting from our initial lead compound 9-(2-fluorobenzyl)-N6-methyl-2-trifluoromethyladenine (4, NCS613), we designed and synthesized a new series of 9-substituted derivatives for developing structure-activity relationship studies. This new series of derivatives showed increased potencies and better selectivity profiles. Structural modifications were achieved in parallel on three different positions of the adenine ring, and led to the following observations: (i) introduction of a lipophilic substituent such as trifluoromethyl, n-propyl group or iodine in the C-2 position is favourable for both the PDE-4 inhibitory activity and the selectivity towards other isoenzymes; (ii) functionalization of the N9 benzyl group with a 2-methoxy substituent led to remarkably more active compounds; (iii) replacement of the N6-methylamino moiety by other amino groups is detrimental to the activity. Among all derivatives prepared, the 9-(2-methoxybenzyl)-N6-methyl-2-trifluoromethyladenine (9r), 9-(2-methoxybenzyl)-N6-methyl-2-n-propyladenine (9s), and the 2-iodo-9-(2-methoxybenzyl)-N6-methyladenine (13b) were found to be the most potent inhibitors within this series (PDE-4-IC50=1.4, 7.0, and 0.096 nM, respectively). Compared to our reference compound 4, which showed an IC50 of 42 nM, the derivative 13b was found 450-fold more potent. Moreover, 2-iodo-9-(2-methoxybenzyl)-N6-methyladenine (13b) and 9-(2-methoxybenzyl)-N6-methyl-2-trifluoromethyladenine (9r), were at least 50 000-150 000 times more selective for the PDE-4 than for the other PDE families. Additionally, these new derivatives showed improved efficiency in inhibiting the TNFα release from mononuclear cells from healthy subjects (e.g. adenines 7l, 9s and 13b). Thus, compounds 7l, 9r, 9s and 13b are among the most potent and selective PDE-4 inhibitors reported so far and represent very promising pharmacological tools for a better understanding of the signal transduction involving cyclic AMP within the cell: this pathway is implicated in the physiology and the pathophysiology of inflammation, asthma and autoimmune disorders.

Novel C-2, C-6, N-9 trisubstituted purines derived from the olomoucine/roscovitine lead structure were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit starfish oocyte CDK1/cyclin B, neuronal CDK5/p35 and erk1 kinases in purified extracts. Structure

The regiochemistry in Stille couplings of 2,6-dihalopurines have been studied. 2,6-Dichloropurines react selectively in the 6-position, and 6-chloro-2-iodopurines and 2-bromo-6-chloropurines in the 2-position.
