This study reports the synthesis of a number of 1- and 2-alkyl derivatives of the 4-aminopyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (APP) nucleus and their evaluation as inhibitors of ADA from bovine spleen. The 2-substituted aminopyrazolopyrimidines proved to be potent inhibitors, most of them exhibiting Ki values in the nanomolar/subnanomolar range. In this series the inhibitory activity is enhanced with the increase in length of the alkyl chain, reaching a maximum with the n-decyl substituent. Insertion of a 2′-hydroxy group in the ra-decyl chain gave 3k, whose (R)-isomer displayed the highest inhibitory potency of the series (Ki 0.053 nM), showing an activity 2 orders of magnitude higher than that of (+)-EHNA (Ki 1.14 nM), which was taken as the reference standard. Docking simulations of aminopyrazolopyrimidines into the ADA binding site were also performed, to rationalize the structure-activity relationships of this class of inhibitors.
Synthesis and anticonvulsant activity of N-benzylpyrrolo[2,3-d]-, - pyrazolo[3,4-d]-, and -triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines: Imidazole ring-modified analogues of 9-(2-fluorobenzyl)-6-(methylamino)-9H-purine

Analogues of 9-(2-fluorobenzyl)-6-(methylamino)-9H-purine (1) containing isosteric replacements of the imidazole ring atoms were synthesized and tested for anticonvulsant activity. The pyrrolo[2,3-d]-, pyrazolo[a,4-d]-, and triazolo[4,5-d]pyrimidines were less active than 1 against maximal electroshock-induced seizures (MES) in rats when given po. The differences in anti-MES activity for these analogues was not explained by differences in pK(a) or lipophilicity. However, the four classes of heterocycles have distinctly different calculated electrostatic isopotential maps, which may be related to optimum anticonvulsant activity.
