Recently we reported the adenine derivatives 3a-d as novel interferon (IFN) inducers. In the present study, we conducted a detailed structure-activity relationship study of analogues of 3a-d with respect to their IFN-inducing activity, mainly focusing on the N(9)-position of the adenine. From this study, we found that introduction of the 3-pyridylmethyl moiety was effective to increase in vitro activity, and compound 9ae was identified as being the most potent IFN inducer. This compound gave a minimum effective concentration (MEC) of 3 nM, which is comparable with that of R-848, a second generation IFN inducer. Compound 9ae also demonstrated potent IFN-inducing activity at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg by oral administration in mice. Furthermore, compound 9ae induced IFN in monkeys in a dose dependent manner, with a potency superior to that of R-848. In addition, 9ae did not cause emesis in ferrets even at a dose of 30 mg/kg. In this study the maximum plasma concentration of 9ae was 1019 ng/mL (ca. 3.1 μM), which was approximately 1000-fold higher than the MEC value. Therefore, with respect to both the efficacy and the safety margin, compound 9ae (SM-276001) is considered to be a promising compound as an orally active IFN inducer.
