C. Teran et al., Design, synthesis, conformational analysis and biological activities of purine-based 1,2-di-substituted carbocyclic nucleosides, CHEM PHARM, 48(2), 2000, pp. 293-295
New 1,2-di-substituted carbocyclic nucleosides with 6-chloropurine, adenine
and hypoxanthine bases were synthesized by construction of purine on the p
rimary amino group of (+/-)-trans-2-aminocyclopentylmethanol. AM1 calculati
ons showed close correspondence between the positions of the heteroatoms in
the adenine derivative and dideoxyadenosine. The most active of the new co
mpounds in antiviral assays and antitumoral assays against L1210/0, MOLT4/C
8 and CEM/0 cells was the 6-chloropurine derivative.
