Tichý, Tomáš ; Andrei, G. ; Dračínský, Martin ; Holý, Antonín ; Balzarini, J. ; Snoeck, R. ; Krečmerová, Marcela
New adefovir (PMEA) prodrugs with a pro-moiety consisting of decyl(oxyethyl) chain bearing hydroxyl function(s), hexaethyleneglycol or a (5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4-yl)methyl unit were prepared from the tetrabutylammonium salt of the phosphonate drug and an appropriate alkyl bromide or tosylate. Analogously, two esters of Cidofovir [(S)-HPMPC] bearing a hexaethyleneglycol moiety were prepared. The antiviral activity of the prodrugs was evaluated in vitro. A loss in the antiviral activities of the hydroxylated decyl(oxyethyl) esters and hexaethyleneglycol esters of PMEA against HIV and herpesviruses. (S)-HPMPC prodrugs exhibited anticytomegalovirus activities in the same range as the parent drug, whereas the anti-HSV and anti-VZV activities were one- to seven-fold lower than that of Cidofovir.

Hetaryl derivatives of 7-deazapurine ribonucleosides: potent cytostatic agents
Perlíková, Pavla ; Nauš, Petr ; Bourderioux, Aurelie ; Hocek, Michal
A series of novel 7-deazapurine ribonucleosides substituted with aryl and hetaryl groups has been prepared. Suzuki or Stille cross-coupling reactions with 6-chloro-7-deazapurine ribonucleosides substituted with H, F of Cl atom in position 7 were used in the key step of the synthesis. Either cross-coupling of protected ribonucleoside with appropriate (het)arylboronic acid or stannane followed by deprotection, or single-step aqueous-phase Suzuki cross-coupling reaction of unprotected 7-deazapurine ribonucleoside with boronic acid provided target (het)aryl-7-deazapurine ribonucleosides. 6-Furyl- and 6-thienyl-7-deazapurine ribonucleosides showed cytostatic effect in multiple cancer cell lines in nanomolar range. Application of cyclosaligenyl and alanyl-ester phosphoramidate prodrugs did not improved cytostatic activity of parent nucleosides.

Acyclic Nucleoside Phosphonates as Inhibitors of Hypoxanthine-Guanine-Xanthine Phosphoribosyltransferase: New Anti-Malarial Chemotherapy Leads
Hocková, Dana ; Holý, Antonín ; Česnek, Michal ; Baszczyňski, Ondřej ; Tichý, Tomáš ; Krečmerová, Marcela ; Janeba, Zlatko ; Skinner-Adams, T. S. ; Naesens, L. ; Keough, D. T. ; de Jersey, J. ; Guddat, L. W.
Hypoxanthine-guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGXPRTase) is a widely recognized target for the discovery of new anti-malarial drugs. Specific acyclic nucleoside phosphonates (ANPs) inhibit HGXPRTase and possess anti-plasmodial activity. Within the framework of a SAR-study, the classical ANPs (e.g. PME-, PMP- and HPMP-derivatives) as well as novel series of compounds were tested to investigate their efficiency and selectivity on the inhibition of P. falciparum, P. vivax and human enzyme.
