Abstract
A series of adenosine 5'-phosphonate analogues were designed to mimic naturally occurring adenosine monophosphate. These compounds (1-5) were synthesized and evaluated in a cellular hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication assay. To improve cellular permeability and enhance the anti-HCV activity of these phosphonates, a bis(S-acyl-2-thioethyl) prodrug for compound 5 was prepared, and its cellular activity was determined. To elucidate the mechanism of action of these novel adenosine phosphonates, their diphosphate derivatives (1a-5a) were synthesized. Further nucleotide incorporation assays by HCV NS5B RNA-dependent RNA polymerase revealed that 2a and 3a can serve as chain terminators, whereas compounds 1a, 4a, and 5a are competitive inhibitors with ATP. Additional steady-state kinetic analysis determined the incorporation efficiency of 2a and 3a as well as the inhibition constants for 1a, 4a, and 5a. The structure-activity relationships among these compounds were analyzed, and the implication for nucleoside phosphonate drug design was discussed.

Abstract
We have synthesized a set of ATP and ADP analogues that have a fluorophore linked to the nucleotide via the 3'-position of the ribose moiety. Combinations of three different coumarins are each attached via different length linkers. A linker based on propylenediamine increases the separation between the nucleotide and fluorophore relative to that of the previously reported ethylenediamine-linked coumarin nucleotides [Webb, M. R., and Corrie, J. E. T. (2001) Biophys. J. 81, 1562-1569]. A synthesis of 3'-amino-3'-deoxyATP is described using a combination of chemical and enzymatic procedures, mostly from published methods for synthesis of this compound but with some modifications that improved the convenience of the experimental procedures. This compound is used as a basis of a series of analogues with effectively a zero-length linker. Fluorescence properties of all these analogues are described, together with the kinetics of their interaction with rabbit skeletal myosin subfragment 1 in the presence and absence of actin. One particular analogue, deac-aminoATP [3'-(7-diethylaminocoumarin-3-carbonylamino)-3'-deoxyadenosine 5'-triphosphate], shows a 17-fold enhancement of fluorescence upon binding to this (skeletal) myosin II. As the diphosphate, it exhibits a large signal change upon dissociation from the actomyosin, with kinetics similar to those of natural ADP. The ability of this set of analogues to produce large signals indicated potential uses when scarce proteins are studied in small amounts.

Abstract
Synthesis of 4'-substituted analogues of cordycepin was carried out. Electrophilic addition of N-iodosuccinimide/benzoic acid to 2',5'-bis-O-(tert-butyldimethyl-silyl)-3',4'-unsaturated adenosine (5) enabled the introduction of a leaving group to the 4'-position. The resulting product 7 was converted to 4'-(benzoyloxy) cordycepin (8) upon removal of the 3'-iodine atom. Compound 8 serves as a common precursor for the synthesis of the title compounds through nucleophilic substitution using organoaluminum and organosilicon reagents.

Abstract
A new photocleavable 2'-deoxyadenosine mimic, 3-nitro-3-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine (NidA), was prepared and introduced into DNA fragments via its 6-O-trimethylphenyl precursor phophoramidite. Photocleavage of the resulting oligonucleotide is highly efficient in single and double strands. Hybridization properties of NidA are very similar to those of deoxyadenosine.

Abstract
7-deaza-2,8-diaza-2'-deoxyadenosine (4) was synthesized from 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine (1) via the 1,N(6)-etheno derivative 5. Ring opening with sodium hydroxide followed by ring closure in the presence of sodium nitrite formed the tricyclic intermediate 5 from which the transiently introduced "etheno" moiety was removed with NBS. Compound 4 was converted to the phosphoramidite 11, which was employed in solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis. Base pairing studies on 4, incorporated in a 12-mer duplex, showed that this adenine nucleoside analogue forms a strong base pair with dG but not with dT. This novel base pair is as stable as that of the canonical dA-dT pair. As a result of the absence of nitrogen-7 compound 4 is expected to form a face to face base pair with dG.

Abstract
A convenient synthesis of 2'-deoxy-2-fluoroadenosine from commercially available 2-fluoroadenine is described. The coupling reaction of silylated 2-fluoroadenine with phenyl 3,5-bis[O-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)]-2-deoxy-1-thio-D-erythro-pentofuranoside gave the corresponding 2-fluoro-2'-deoxyadenosine derivative (alpha/beta = 1:1) in good yield. The alpha- and beta-anomers were separated by chromatography, and then desilylated to give compounds 1a and 1b.

Abstract
We studied the structural determinants of binding affinity and efficacy of adenosine receptor (AR) agonists. Substituents at the 2-position of adenosine were combined with N(6)-substitutions known to enhance human A(3)AR affinity. Selectivity of binding of the analogues and their functional effects on cAMP production were studied using recombinant human A(1), A(2A), A(2B), and A(3)ARs. Mainly sterically small substituents at the 2-position modulated both the affinity and intrinsic efficacy at all subtypes. The 2-cyano group decreased hA(3)AR affinity and efficacy in the cases of N(6)-(3-iodobenzyl) and N(6)-(trans-2-phenyl-1-cyclopropyl), for which a full A(3)AR agonist was converted into a selective antagonist; the 2-cyano-N(6)-methyl analogue was a full A(3)AR agonist. The combination of N(6)-benzyl and various 2-substitutions (chloro, trifluoromethyl, and cyano) resulted in reduced efficacy at the A(1)AR. The environment surrounding the 2-position within the putative A(3)AR binding site was explored using rhodopsin-based homology modeling and ligand docking.

Abstract
We describe the design, preparation, and properties of two key building blocks of a size-expanded genetic system. Nucleoside analogues of the natural nucleosides dA and dT are reported in which the fusion of a benzo ring increases their size by ca. 2.4 A. The expanded dA analogue (dxA), having a tricyclic base, was first reported by Leonard nearly three decades ago. We describe a shortened and more efficient approach to this compound. The expanded dT analogue (dxT), a methylquinazolinedione C-glycoside, was previously unknown; we describe its preparation in eight steps from 5-methylanthranilic acid. The key glycoside bond formation employed Pd-mediated coupling of an aryl iodide precursor with a dihydrofuran derivative of deoxyribose. Both nucleosides are shown to be efficient fluorophores, emitting light in the blue-violet range. The base-protected phosphoramidite derivatives were prepared, and short oligonucleotides containing them were characterized. The two size-expanded nucleosides are key components of a new four-base genetic system designed to form helical paired structures having a diameter greater than that of natural DNA. Elements of the design of this expanded genetic molecule, termed xDNA, are discussed, including the possibility of up to eight base pairs of information storage capability.

Abstract
We have previously reported the use of a 13C tag at the C2 of 15N-multilabeled purine nucleosides to distinguish the adjacent-labeled 15N atoms from those in an untagged nucleoside. We now introduce the use of an indirect tag at the C8 of 15N7-labeled purine nucleosides. This tag allows unambiguous differentiation between a pair of 15N7-labeled purines in which only one is 13C8 labeled. Although the very small C8-N7 coupling (<1 Hz) precludes its direct detection in 1D 15N spectra, 2D 1H-15N NMR experiments display the large C8-H8 coupling (>200 Hz) because H8 is coupled to both N7 and C8. The 13C8 atom is introduced by means of a ring closure of the exocyclic amino groups of a pyrimidinone using [13C]sodium ethyl xanthate. Here, we present methods for the syntheses of [8-13C-1,7,NH2-15N3]adenosine, -guanosine, and their deoxy analogues.

Abstract
Sequencing data obtained from the Plasmodium, Anopheles gambiae and human genome projects provide a new basis for drug and vaccine development. One of the most characteristic features in the process of drug development against parasitic protozoa is target identification in a biological pathway. The next step must be a structure-based rational drug design if the target is not only present in the parasite. In mouse models of malaria, such drugs should be tested for efficacy of the new therapies. Here, we present data that pinpoint the existence of two enzymes of the polyamine pathway involved in spermidine metabolism in P. falciparum, i.e. deoxyhypusine synthase (DHS; EC 1.1.1.249) and homospermidine synthase (HSS; EC 2.5.1.45). Recent data obtained from the malaria genome databases showed that at least a putative gene encoding DHS is present in the parasite. Sequencing data from the P. falciparum genome project prove that the eukaryotic initiation factor eIF5A (the substrate for DHS) exists in P. falciparum. Here, we present the amino acid sequence of eIF5A from P. vivax, which causes tertiary malaria. EIF5A from P. vivax shows 82% nucleic acid and 97% amino acid identity to its homologue from P. falciparum. GC/MS data and inhibitor studies with agmatine prove that the triamine homospermidine occurs in the parasite. These data suggest a separate locus encoding HSS in P. falciparum. The hss gene recruits from the dhs gene in eukaryotes. Here, we present genomic DNA fragments obtained by amplification with primers of a conserved region (amino acid positions 550-1,043) between the putative P. falciparum DHS gene ( dhs) and the HSS gene ( hss) from the plant Senecio vulgaris (Asteraceae). The amplification product from different P. falciparum strains reveals differences in sequence identity, compared with the putative dhs gene from P. falciparum strain 3D7. Expression of the full-length clone and determination of HSS-specific activity will finally prove whether a separate region encoding HSS exists.

Abstract
3'-aminoacylamino-3'-deoxyadenosines, analogues of the antibiotic puromycin, have been synthesized from adenosine. They key 3'-azido derivative 10 was obtained through a 3'-oxidation/reduction/substitution procedure. A modified purification protocol on a larger scale was developed for the oxidation step using the Garegg reagent. The coupling reaction between an Fmoc-l-amino acid and the fully protected form of 3'-amino-3'-deoxyadenosine 11 furnished the aminoacylated compounds 12 in high yields. The puromycin analogues were obtained in 10 steps and up to 23% (14c) overall yield.

Abstract
Recently, we found a small Ca(2+)-dependent deoxyribozyme (unmodified), d(GCCTGGCAG(1)G(2)C(3)T(4)A(5)C(6)A(7)A(8)C(9)G(10)A(11)GTCCCT), with cleavage activity for its RNA substrate, r(AGGGACA downward arrow UGCCAGGC) ( downward arrow denotes the RNA cleavage site), in the presence of Ca(2+) and developed a functional SPR sensor chip with this deoxyribozyme [Okumoto, Y., Ohmichi, T., and Sugimoto, N. (2002) Biochemistry 41, 2769-2773]. In the study presented here, to clarify the factors contributing to the efficient catalytic activity of the unmodified deoxyribozyme, RNA cleavage reactions were carried out using 24 mutant deoxyribozymes containing one unnatural DNA nucleotide, such as dI (2'-deoxyinosine), 7-deaza-dG, 2-aminopurine, 7-deaza-dA, 2-amino-dA, dm(5)C (5-methyl-2'-deoxycytosine), or d(P)C (5-propynyl-2'-deoxycytosine). The K(m) values (Michaelis constants) with the mutants that lacked N7 and O6 of G(1) and O6 of G(2) were 4.5 and 6.6 times that of the unmodified one, respectively. The k(cat) value (cleavage rate constant) with the mutants that lacked O6 of G(10) was 0.025 times that of the unmodified one. The results of UV melting curves, SPR kinetics, and CD spectra supported the quantitative idea that the catalytic activity of the unmodified form was achieved using Ca(2+). On the basis of these results, a preliminary model for two G(1) x A(8) and G(2) x A(7) mismatched base pairs such as G(anti) x A(anti) formed in the catalytic loop is proposed. The factor of 10 increase in the k(cat)/K(m) value of the mutant deoxyribozyme, which has C(9) substituted with d(P)C, suggests that the base stacking interaction between the substituted propynyl group in dC and the nearest-neighbor base grew stronger. Thus, substituting d(P)C for dC in the catalytic loop would be one of the best ways to increase the catalytic activity of the deoxyribozyme.

Abstract
A well-defined series of 5'-([(Z)-4-amino-2-butenyl]methylamino)-5'-deoxyadenosine analogues was designed and synthesized in order to further ascertain the optimal structural requirements for S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase inhibition and potentially to augment and perhaps separate their antiproliferative and antitrypanosomal activities. Most structural modifications had a deleterious affect on both the antitrypanosomal and antineoplastic activity of 5'-([(Z)-4-amino-2-butenyl]methylamino)-5'-deoxyadenosine. However, di-O-acetylation of the parent compound produced a potential prodrug that caused markedly pronounced inhibition of trypanosomal and neoplastic cell growth and viability. Moreover, the acetylated derivative of 5'-([(Z)-4-amino-2-butenyl]methylamino)-5'-deoxyadenosine did inhibit HIV-1 growth and infectivity, whereas the parent compound did not.

Abstract
Rotation of a heterocyclic base around a glycosidic bond allows the formation of syn and anti conformations in nucleosides. The syn conformation has been observed primarily in purine-purine mismatches in DNA duplexes. Such mismatches give rise to false positive oligonucleotide hybridization in DNA-based diagnostics. Here we describe the synthesis of an analog of 2'-deoxyadenosine that retains its Watson-Crick functional groups, but cannot form the syn conformation. In this analog, the N3 atom of 2'-deoxyadenosine is replaced by a C-CH3 group to give 7-methyl-1-beta-D-deoxyribofuranosyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-ylamine or 3-methyl-3-deaza-2'-deoxyadenosine (3mddA). This modification sterically prevents the syn conformation and 3mddA becomes an anti-fixed nucleoside analog of 2'-deoxyadenosine. The synthesis and conformational analysis of 3mddA and several analogs with an 3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine skeleton are described, as well as their potential applications.

Abstract
A common reason for the lack of cytotoxicity of certain nucleosides is thought to be their inability to be initially activated to the monophosphate level by a nucleoside kinase or other activating enzyme. In a search for other nucleosides that might be worthwhile anticancer agents, we have begun to examine the utilization of monophosphate prodrugs in order to explore whether any enhanced cytotoxicity might be found for the prodrugs of candidate nucleosides that have little or no cytotoxicity. To that end, 5'-bis(pivaloyloxymethyl) phosphate prodrugs of two weakly cytotoxic compounds, 8-aza-2'-deoxyadenosine (5) and 8-bromo-2'-deoxyadenosine (9), have been prepared. These prodrugs (8 and 12) were examined for their cytotoxicity in CEM cells and were found to possess significantly enhanced cytotoxicity when compared with the corresponding parent nucleosides. Further cell culture experiments were conducted to gain insight into the mechanisms of cytotoxicity of these two prodrugs, and those data are reported.

Abstract
A new efficient synthesis of 2-amino-alpha-2'-deoxyadenosine and its incorporation into methoxyethylphosphoramidate alpha-oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) via H-phosphonate chemistry were reported. Thermal denaturation experiments demonstrated a significant stabilization of the complexes formed between these analogues and their RNA target (+2 degrees C/NH2A) relative to adenosine-containing phosphoramidate alpha-oligonucleotides. Concerning the binding specificity of these modified ODNs, unlike natural ODNs, discrimination against G pairing is higher and against C pairing is lower.

Abstract
Nitration of 9-substituted [ethyl, (Ac)2-2'-deoxyribosyl, (Ac)3-ribosyl] N6-acetyladenine derivatives with Cu(NO3)2.3H2O/Ac2O was examined. Nitration proceeded at the 2-position, although the yield was low. Removal of the acetyl groups gave 2'-deoxy-2-nitroadenosine derivatives.

Abstract
The synthesis and structure-activity relationship of N(6)-cyclopentyl-3'-substituted-xylofuranosyladenosine analogues with respect to various adenosine receptors were explored in order to identify selective and potent antagonists and inverse agonists for the adenosine A(1) receptor. In particular, the effects of removal of the 5'-OH group and introduction of selected substituents at the 3'-NH(2) position of 9-(3-amino-3-deoxy-beta-D-xylofuranosyl)-N(6)-cyclopentyladenine were probed. A solid phase-assisted synthetic approach was used to optimize the 3'-amide functionality. In view of the general concern of the presence of a 5'-OH moiety with regard to cellular toxicity, the present study describes 5'-deoxy compounds with reasonable affinity for the human adenosine A(1) receptor. Interestingly, this study shows that optimization of the 3'-"up" amide substituent can substantially compensate for the drop in affinity for the adenosine A(1) receptor, which is generally observed upon removal of the 5'-OH group. The fact that for several 3'-amido-substituted (5'-deoxy)-N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine derivatives, guanosine 5'-triphosphate-induced shifts in K(i) values were significantly lower than 1 implies that these analogues behave as inverse agonists. This is further supported by their 1,3-dipropyl-8-cyclopentylxanthine-like capacity to increase forskolin-induced adenosine cyclic 3',5'-phosphate production.

Abstract
trans-4,5-Epoxy-2(E)-decenal reacted with 2'-deoxyadenosine to give 1,N(6)-etheno-2'-deoxyadenosine as well as other 2'-deoxyadenosine adducts. It also reacted with 2'-deoxyguanosine to give 1,N(2)-etheno-2'-deoxyguanosine and other 2'-deoxyguanosine adducts. Synthetic trans-4,5-epoxy-2(E)-decenal was quite stable under the reaction conditions that were used. It was not contaminated with 2,3-epoxyoctanal, a potential precursor to the formation of unsubstituted etheno adducts. Furthermore, using a sensitive LC/MS assay, it was possible to show that no 2,3-epoxyoctanal was formed during prolonged incubations of trans-4,5-epoxy-2(E)-decenal. Therefore, trans-4,5-epoxy-2(E)-decenal, a primary product of lipid peroxidation, is a precursor to the formation of 1,N(6)-etheno-2'-deoxyadenosine and 1,N(2)-etheno-2'-deoxyguanosine. There is no need for an additional oxidation step such as would be required if trans,trans-2,4-decadienal or 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal were the lipid hydroperoxide decomposition products that initiated the formation of unsubstituted etheno adducts. These findings provide an important link between a primary product of lipid peroxidation and a mutagenic DNA lesion that has been detected in human tissues.

Abstract
A polymer-assisted solution-phase (PASP) synthesis of lead structure analogues ready for biological testing without the demand for chromatographic purification is described. Carboxylic acids are coupled to the Kenner or Ellman safety catch linker, respectively, activated by methylation or cyanomethylation and subsequently transferred to the 2'-amino group of the 2'-amino-2'-deoxyadenosine scaffold (5). The chemoselective attack of weakly nucleophilic amino groups on the N-alkylated N-acyl sulfonamide linker allows for the synthesis of amides 6 in high yields without the need for protection of primary and secondary hydroxyl functions. Thus, the use of 4-sulfamylbenzoylaminomethyl polystyrene is reported for the construction of chemoselective polymer-supported acylating reagents instead of its known use as linker in solid-phase peptide or organic synthesis. This approach is demonstrated to be well suited to obtain 2'-amido-2'-deoxyadenosine derivatives 6 in parallel format. Biological evaluation of all compounds reported revealed no improvement over known lead structures.
