Telomerase, responsible for telomere synthesis, is expressed in approximately 90% of human tumor cells but seldom in normal somatic cells. In this study, inhibition by carbocyclic oxetanocin G triphosphate (C. OXT-GTP) and its analogues was investigated in order to clarify the susceptibility of telomerase to various nucleotide analogues. C. OXT-GTP competitively inhibited telomerase activity with respect to dGTP However, C. OXT-GTP had a potent inhibitory effect on DNA polymerase alpha. It was examined whether the nucleoside (C. OXT-G) was able to alter telomere length in cultured human HL60 cells. Contrary to expectation, long-term treatment with 10 microM C. OXT-G was found to cause telomere lengthening.

A synthesis of cyclobutene nucleoside analogs in which the nucleobase is tethered by a methylene group is described. The coupling of 6-chloropurine with 3-hydroxymethyl-cyclobutanone proceeds via its triflate to give both N-7 and N-9 regioisomers with relative yields corresponding to the calculated charge distribution of the 6-chloropurinyl anion. The stereoselective reduction of the N-alkylated ketones yielded quantitatively one stereoisomer in each case.

Five novel nucleoside analogs with mono or bis-hydroxymethylated cyclopropane rings at the N-position of the 2-chloroadenine moiety (2-chloro-carbocyclic oxetanocin A [COA-Cl] analog) were synthesized and evaluated using human umbilical vein endothelial cells. All the prepared compounds (2a-e) showed good to moderate activity with angiogenic potency. cis-2'-(Hydroxymethyl)cycloprop-1'-yl derivative (2b) at 100 µM had greater angiogenic activity than the other compounds did, with relative tube areas of 2.

Six novel carbocyclic oxetanocin A analogs (2-chloro-C.OXT-A; COA-Cl) with various hydroxymethylated or spiro-conjugated cyclobutane rings at the N(9)-position of the 2-chloropurine moiety were synthesized and evaluated using human umbilical vein endothelial cells. All prepared compounds (2a-f) showed good to moderate activity with angiogenic potency.

This review describes the synthesis and evaluation of novel nucleic acid derivatives performed by our research group to date. We developed a new method for the synthesis of 2-alkoxyadenosine analogs via nonaqueous diazotization-dediazoniation reactions. By applying these reactions, we effectively synthesized four types of carbocyclic oxetanocin analogs (2-alkoxy-C.

The synthesis of the trisubstituted cyclobutane 7, which is a suitable precursor for the preparation of oxetanocin carbocyclic analogues, is described. The key step involves a regio- and diastereoselective [2 + 2] photochemical reaction of ketene diethyl acetal with (S)-5-pivaloyloxymethyl-2(5H)-furanone, 3. As an application of this methodology, (-)-cyclobut-A has been prepared from the intermediate 7.
