چکیده
A series of R and S enantiomers of 2-aminopurine methylenecyclopropane analogues of nucleosides was synthesized. Two diastereoisomeric lipophilic phosphate prodrugs derived from R and S enantiomers of 2,6-diaminopurine analogue were also prepared. Enantioselectivity (diastereoselectivity in case of prodrugs) of in vitro antiviral effects was investigated with human and murine cytomegalovirus (HCMV and MCMV, respectively), herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2, respectively), human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), hepatitis B virus (HBV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and varicella zoster virus (VZV). Strong differences in enantioselectivity were found between the R and S enantiomers of adenine analogue and enantiomeric 2-aminopurine analogues. Thus, the enantiomers of adenine analogue were equipotent against HCMV but not MCMV, where the S enantiomer is strongly preferred. The same S preference was found throughout the 2-aminopurine series for both HCMV and MCMV. In contrast, R-synadenol in HIV-1 assays was the best agent, whereas the S enantiomers of moderately effective 2-amino-6-cyclopropylamino and 2-amino-6-methoxypurine analogues were preferred. Little enantiomeric preference was found for R and S enantiomers of synadenol and the corresponding enantiomers of 2,6-diaminopurine analogue against HBV. A mixed pattern of enantioselectivity was observed for EBV depending on the type of host cells and assay. Against VZV, the R and S enantiomers of adenine analogue were equipotent or almost equipotent, but throughout the series of 2-aminopurine analogues a distinct preference for the S enantiomers was found. The stereoselectivity pattern of both diastereoisomeric prodrugs mostly followed enantioselectivity of the parent analogues. The varying enantioselectivities in the series of purine methylenecyclopropane analogues are probably a consequence of differences in the mechanisms of action in different virus/host cell systems.

Role of Aldehyde Oxidase and Xanthine Oxidase in the Metabolism of Purine-Related Drugs
Purines are natural compounds that are found in all of the body's cells. They are the most widely distributed kind of N-heterocyclic substances in nature. Purines provide part of the chemical structure of some important co-enzymes and the genes of plants and animals. These compounds also participate in membrane signal transduction, translation and protein synthesis and in the form of purine nuc...

Background: Acyclovir (ACV) is a synthetic purine nucleoside analog drived from guanosine. ACV possesses antiviral activity against Herpes Simplex Virus types 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2 ), Varicella Zoster virus (VZV) , Epstein Barr virus (EBV) and Cytomegalovirus (CMV). ACV exert its effects by interfering with DNA synthesis,thus inhibiting viral replication. ACV is khown to be toxic to gonads,t...

Nucleoside analogues with a Z- or an E-methylenecyclopropane moiety were synthesized and examined for activity against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in vitro. The addition of a methyl phenyl phosphoro-L-alaninate moiety to modestly active analogues resulted in potentiation of their anti-HIV-1 activity. Two such compounds, designated QYL-685 (with 2,6-diaminopurine) and QYL-609 (wi...
