Antitumor Activity of C-Methyl-β-d-ribofuranosyladenine Nucleoside Ribonucleotide Reductase Inhibitors

Abstract: A series of adenosine derivatives substituted at the 1'-, 2'-, or 3'-position of the ribose ring with a methyl group was synthesized and evaluated for antitumor activity. From this study 3'-C-methyladenosine (3'-Me-Ado) emerged as the most active compound, showing activity against human myelogenous leukemia K562, multidrug resistant human leukemia K562IU, human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60, human colon carcinoma HT-29, and human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cell lines with IC(50) values ranging from 11 to 38 muM.

“…18,19 Our previous work on RR inhibitors included the synthesis of 3 0 -C-methyladenosine (3 0 -Me-Ado), a purine ribonucleoside that acts as a mechanism-based inhibitor of the R1 subunit of mammalian RR, and is endowed with significant antitumor activity against a panel of human leukemia and carcinoma cell lines. [20][21][22][23] Interestingly, we found that its cytotoxic and apoptotic activity could be enhanced by combining it with several hydroxamic acid-derived HDAC inhibitors, including the two recently synthesized molecules, MC1864 and MC1879, and the reference compound trichostatin A (TSA). 24 Based on this finding our original aim was to combine 3 0 -Me-Ado with VPA to create a prodrug that would simultaneously deliver both agents into cancer cells for synergistic antitumor activity.…”

“…Similarly, the protected 5'-azido-5'-deoxy-guanosine 3 was reacted with N 6 -benzoyl-2',3'-O-isopropylidene-5'-O-propargyl-adenosine (9) 34 , to obtain the intermediate 11. The 5'-azido-5'-deoxy-2',3'-O-isopropylidene-adenosine (5) 35 , prepared starting from 2',3'-Oisopropylidene-adenosine (2) [36][37][38][39][40] was clicked with 8 and 9 to furnish the 1,2,3-triazole intermediates 12 and 13, respectively. Compound 10 was first deprotected in acidic conditions and then in saturated ammonium hydroxide solution at 50°C, to give, after purification, the triazolelinked dinucleoside DCI028.…”

“…[13][14][15] Recently, a series of adenosine analogues substituted at the ribose ring with a methyl group have been synthesized and evaluated for antitumor activity. 16 From this study, 3¢-Cmethyladenosine (3¢-Me-Ado, Figure 1) has emerged as an active derivative, and the structure-activity correlation studies have pointed out that its structure is crucial for the antitumor activity. 16 In connection with these facts, we reported in a preliminary communication an original synthetic pathway to the carbasugar analogue, (-)-3¢-methylaristeromycin, with the aim of studying in the near future its biological potential (1, Figure 1).…”
