We report herein the synthesis and the in vitro antileishmanial evaluation of a series of 6-substituted purines. The most active compounds against Leishmania amazonensis promastigotes were 6-(3'-chloropropylthio)purine 2 [11,12] [corrected] 6-(3'-(thioethylamine)propylthio)purine 5, 6-(alpha-aceticacidthio)purine 7 and 6-(6'-deoxy-1'-O-methyl-beta-D-ribofuranose)purine 14 with an IC(50)=50, 50, 39 and 29 microM, respectively.

New N-Substituted Adenine Derivatives with High Antiviral Activity against RNA-Containing Viruses.

In this work, two new compounds, N-(4,5-dimethoxyphenyl)adenine and N-(3,5-di-trifluoromethylphenyl)adenine, with a broad range of antiviral activity against RNA viruses were identified. We showed that these compounds exhibit pronounced antiviral activity against human poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3, belonging to enterovirus C species. Both compounds also demonstrated pronounced antiviral activity against Coxsackie viruses B3, B5, and B6, belonging to enterovirus B species.

The 4,6-substituted-1,3,5-triazin-2(1)-ones are promising inhibitors of human DNA topoisomerase IIα. To further develop this chemical class targeting the enzyme´s ATP binding site, the triazin-2(1)-one substitution position 6 was optimized. Inspired by binding of preclinical substituted 9-purine derivative, bicyclic substituents were incorporated at position 6 and the utility of this modification was validated by a combination of molecular simulations, dynamic pharmacophores, and free energy calculations.

Cytokinins (CKs) are a group of N-substituted signaling molecules whose biosynthesis and metabolism have been documented in all kingdoms of life, including vertebrates. While their biological relevance in vertebrate systems continues to be elucidated, they have broadly been documented with therapeutic effects in exogenous applications. In this study, we evaluated the virostatic potential of four types of CKs including, -isopentenyladenine (iP), -isopentenyladenosine (iPR), -isopentenyladenosine-5'monophosphate (iPMP), and 2-methylthiol--isopentenyladenosine (2MeSiPR) against the ranavirus type species, frog virus 3 (FV3).

A series of novel 6-(substituted phenyl piperazine)-8-(4-substituted phenyl)-9-cyclopentyl purines, 10-51, were synthesized by a four-step synthesis, achieving an overall yield of about 43 %. The reaction conditions were effectively optimized, and the final products were obtained with high purity and yield in all synthesis steps. The synthesized nucleobases were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activities on selected human cancer cell lines (HUH7 (liver), HCT116 (colon), and MCF7 (breast)) using the Sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay.

A new direct regioselective method allowing the introduction of -alkyl groups into appropriate 6-substituted purine derivatives is developed. This method is based on a reaction of -trimethylsilylated purines with a -alkyl halide using SnCl as a catalyst. In this work, we study the structure and optimal reaction conditions leading to the isomer and in some cases also to the isomer.
