Synthesis and biological evaluation of pteridine and pyrazolopyrimidine based adenosine kinase inhibitors

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Aug 16;14(16):4165-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.06.029.

Abstract

Three new approaches have been tested to modify existing pyridopyrimidine and alkynylpyrimidine classes of nonnucleoside adenosine kinase inhibitors 2 and 3. 4-Amino-substituted pteridines 8a-e were generally less active than corresponding 5- and 6-substituted pyridopyrimidines 2. Pyrazolopyrimidine 13c with IC(50)=7.5 nM was superior to its open chain alkynylpyrimidine analog 13g (IC(50)=22 nM) while pyrrolopyrimidines such as 17a were inactive.
