Thermus thermophilus Nucleoside Phosphorylases Active in the Synthesis of Nucleoside Analogues

Thermus thermophilus nucleoside phosphorylases active in the synthesis of nucleoside analogues.

Cells extracts from Thermus thermophilus HB27 express phosphorolytic activities on purines and pyrimidine nucleosides. Five putative encoding genes were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the corresponding recombinant proteins were purified and studied. Two of these showed phosphorolytic activities against purine nucleosides, and third one showed phosphorolytic activity against pyrim...

Thermus thermophilus strains active in purine nucleoside synthesis.

Several strains of Thermus thermophilus were tested in order to detect purine nucleoside synthase activity using pyrimidine nucleosides as the sugar-donor and adenine or hypoxanthine as bases. High productivity values (t =1 hr) were obtained while completely avoiding adenosine-deaminase degradation of the products. N-2-deoxy-ribosyltransferase activity is described for the first time in hyperth...

Synthesis of 1,2,3- Triazole Nucleoside Analogues

Both 1,2,3-triazoles and nucleosides have proved to be useful pharmacophores for antiviral and anticancer agents. A series of novel 1,2,3-triazole nucleoside analogues were designed and synthesized in order to find new antiviral or antitumor compounds.

Convenient synthesis of nucleoside and isonucleoside analogues.

[reaction: see text]. A very simple methodology to stereoselectively achieve tricyclic isonucleosides (nucleobase = thymine, uracil, and 5-fluoruracil) and 3'-C-branched nucleosides (nucleobase = theophylline) was performed by means of a DBU-mediated addition process using a readily available 2-bromo sugar. The mechanism for these transformations implies the loss of both substituents at C-2 and...
