| Research Abstract |
Recently, we found that 9-benzyl-8-hydroxyadenine (1)possesses relatively potent interferon (IFN)-inducing activity as a lead compound. Further effort to establish the structure-activity relationship reached 2-butoxy- 9-bennzyl- 8-hydroxyandenine (2)as the most active compounds, whose potencies were 10^4-fold greater than that of the lead compound (1). In this research synthesis of higher active analog and fluorescent ligand for Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR-7), whose agonist is such 8-hydroxyandenies, were investigated and the following results were obtained.
1)Chemical modification of the 2-position of adenines : Introduction of various substituents into the 2-position were attempted. 2-MeO(CH_2)_2O- and 2-MeOCH_2S- analogs indicated similar activity to compound 2.
2)Synthesis of 1- or 3- deazaadenine derivatives : The oral bioavailability of compound 2 is remarkably low. Synthesis of 1- or 3-deaza analogs, which are expected increase of lipophilicity, was planed to improve the oral absorption of compound 2. Synthesis of 9-benzyl-2-butoxy-3-deazaadenine (3) and 9-Benzyl-2-butoxy-1-deazaadenine (4) were establiched using 4-amino-2,6-dichloropyridine as a starting compound. Now introduction of an 8-hydroxy group into the deazaadenines (3 and 4) is carried out.
3)Synthesis of fluorescent ligand for Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR-7) : 8-Hydroxyadenine (2) is a strong agonist of TLR-7 and mutual interaction causes production of a large amount of IFN. Synthesis of 8-hydroxyadenine derivative possessing a fluorescent functional group instead of benzyl group at the 9-position was investigated as a probe for analysis of the structure and function of TLR-7. Introduction of anthranylmethyl group resulted in failure in performance caused by low solubility. Various synthetic approaches are now under investigation.
