The development of cytosolic 5′-nucleotidase II (cN-II) inhibitors is essential to validate cN-II as a potential target for the reversion of resistance to cytotoxic nucleoside analogues. We previously reported a fragment-based approach combined with molecular modelling, herein, the selected hit-fragments were used again in another computational approach based on the Ilib-diverse (a software enabling to build virtual molecule libraries through fragment based de novo design) program to generate a focused library of potential inhibitors. A molecular scaffold related to a previously identified compound was selected and led to a novel series of compounds. Ten out of nineteen derivatives showed 50–75% inhibition on the purified recombinant protein at 200 μM and among them three derivatives (12, 13 and 18) exhibited Ki in the sub-millimolar range (0.84, 2.4 and 0.58 mM, respectively). Despite their only modest potency, the cN-II inhibitors showed synergistic effects when used in combination with cytotoxic purine nucleoside analogues on cancer cells. Therefore, these derivatives represent a family of non-nucleos(t)idic cN-II inhibitors with potential usefulness to overcome cancer drug resistance especially in hematological malignancies in which cN-II activity has been described as an important parameter.

The alkylation of sodium adenide in HCONMe2 (30 deg) with various alkylating agents was analysed by 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy.Widely varying N3:N7:N9 alkylation patterns were observed, depending on the alkylating agent.These patterns are interpreted in terms of the electrostatic, thermodynamic and steric factors involved in the different SN2 transition states appropriate to each alkylating agent.Hydrogen bonding association between the 6-amino group and certain carbonyl containing alkylating agents is proposed to explain the enhancedN7-alkylation in some cases.Support for this latter proposal was obtain from a comparison of the adenine alkylation results with the corresponding alkylation patterns of 6-pivaloylamino- and 6-chloro-purine.
