Abstract
A number of purine arabinosides containing chiral amino acid amides at the C6 position of the purine were synthesized using a transglycosylation reaction with recombinant E. coli nucleoside phosphorylases. Arsenolysis of 2-chloropurine ribosides with chiral amino acid amides at C6 was used for the enzymatic synthesis, and the reaction equilibrium shifted towards the synthesis of arabinonucleosides. The synthesized nucleosides were shown to be resistant to the action of E. coli adenosine deaminase. The antiproliferative activity of the synthesized nucleosides was studied on human acute myeloid leukemia cell line U937. Among all the compounds, the serine derivative exhibited an activity level (IC50 = 16 μM) close to that of Nelarabine (IC50 = 3 μM) and was evaluated as active.

Abstract
Stereocontrolled introduction of a nitrogen atom at either C-2' or C-3' positions of nucleosides derived from uridine, 4-N-benzoylcytidine and adenosine was investigated. An efficient and rapid procedure was employed for creating new chiral centers at C-2' and C-3' positions using [3,3]-sigmatropic aza-Claisen rearrangement of allyl thiocyanates under conventional and microwave conditions. Structure of isothiocyanate products was confirmed by 1-D and 2-D NMR spectral analyses including selective 1H 1-D-NOE experiments.

Molecular docking studies, in-silico ADMET predictions and synthesis of novel PEGA-nucleosides as antimicrobial agents targeting class B1 metallo-β-lactamases. In Silico Pharmacol 2021; 9:33. [PMID: 33936929 DOI: 10.1007/s40203-021-00092-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2021] [Accepted: 04/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Class B1 metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) are metalloenzymes found in drug resistant bacteria. The enzyme requires zinc ions, along with conserved amino acid coordination for nucleophilic attack of the lactam ring to induce hydrolysis and inactivation of β-lactam and some carbapenem antibiotics. To this date there are no clinically relevant class B1 MBL inhibitors, however L-captopril has shown significant results against NDM-1, the most difficult MBL to inhibit. Herein, we report the synthesis and evaluation of novel nucleoside analogues modified with polyethylene glycolamino (PEGA) as potential inhibitors for class B1 MBLs. Molecular dynamics simulations, using internal coordinate mechanics (ICM) algorithm, were performed on subclass B1 enzyme complex models screened with twenty-one possible PEGA-nucleosides. Analogue A, 3'-deoxy-3'-(2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethanamino)-β-D-xylofuranosyluracil showed superior binding, with high specificity to the conserved zinc ions in the class B1 MBL active site by utilizing key β-lactam mimic points in the uridine nucleobase. The PEGA moiety showed chelating activity with zinc and disrupted the metal-binding amino acid geometry. In all subclass B1 proteins tested, analogue A had the most effective inhibition when compared to penicillin or L-captopril. Chemical synthesis was performed by condensation of the corresponding keto ribonucleoside with PEGA, followed by enantioselective reduction of the formed imine to produce the amino derivative with desired configuration. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic screenings revealed that PEGA-pyrimidine nucleosides are not toxic, nor violate Lipinski's rules. These results suggested that analogue A can be proposed as a potential metalloenzyme inhibitor against the widespread antibiotic resistant bacteria and is worth further in vitro and in vivo investigations.
