Fundamental study of enzymatic nucleoside transport suffers for lack of optical probes that can be tracked noninvasively. Nucleoside transporters are integral membrane glycoproteins that mediate the salvage of nucleosides and their passage across cell mem

Nucleoside phosphoramidates (NPs) are a class of nucleotide analogues that has been developed as potential antiviral/antitumor prodrugs. Recently, we have shown that some amino acid nucleoside phosphoramidates (aaNPs) can act as substrates for viral polymerases like HIV-1 RT. Herein, we report the synthesis and hydrolysis of a series of new aaNPs, containing either natural or modified nucleobases to define the basis for their differential reactivity. Aqueous stability, kinetics, and hydrolysis pathways were studied by NMR spectroscopy at different solution pD values (5-7) and temperatures. It was observed that the kinetics and mechanism (P-N and/or P-O bond cleavage) of the hydrolysis reaction largely depend on the nature of the nucleobase and amino acid moieties. Aspartyl NPs were found to be more reactive than Gly or β-Ala NPs. For aspartyl NPs, the order of reactivity of the nucleobase was 1-deazaadenine>7- deazaadenine>adenine>thymine≥3-deazaadenine. Notably, neutral aqueous solutions of Asp-1-deaza-dAMP degraded spontaneously even at 4°C through exclusive P-O bond hydrolysis (a 50-fold reactivity difference for Asp-1-deaza-dAMP vs. Asp-3-deaza-dAMP at pD 5 and 70°C). Conformational studies by NMR spectroscopy and molecular modeling suggest the involvement of the protonated N3 atom in adenine and 1- and 7-deazaadenine in the intramolecular catalysis of the hydrolysis reaction through the rare syn conformation. Touching (nucleo)base: A dual intramolecular catalytic influence is demonstrated by the nucleobase and carboxyl groups in the chemical hydrolysis of amino acid nucleoside phosphoramidate prodrugs (see scheme). The replacement of the adenine N1 or N7 atoms instead of the N3 atom is shown to have a conformational role in which the protonated N3 is crucial in regulating the kinetics and mechanism of nucleotide (P-N pathway) versus nucleoside (P-O pathway) formation.
