Several 9-benzyl adenine derivatives bearing various substituted amines at the 8-position have been prepared and evaluated for interferon induction in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy human donors. The 8-bromoadenine derivative 5 was used as a versatile intermediate for all substitutions. The most active 8-substituted amino compound was found to be the 8-morpholinoethylamino derivative 19 which had an EC(50) in the submicromolar range.

Recently, we have identified 9-benzyl-8-hydroxyadenines bearing an appropriate substituent (a butoxy, propylthio or butylamino group) at the 2-position as potent interferon (IFN)-inducers. Herein we report the design, synthesis, and IFN-inducing activity of 8-substituted 9-benzyladenines possessing such an appropriate substituent at the 2-position. Introduction of the appropriate substituent into the 2-position of the adenine nucleus gave rise to expression of the activity even in 9-benzyladenines bearing no hydroxyl group at the 8-position.

In inflammatory cells, intracellular cAMP concentration is regulated by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases 4. Therefore, PDE4 inhibition appears as a rational goal for treating acute or chronic inflammatory diseases. Selective PDE4 inhibitors have been developed, but due to unwanted side effects, search for new selective PDE4-inhibitors had to be pursued.
