S-Adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) is a ubiquitous cofactor in biomethylations and, in that role, becomes S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy), which serves as a biofeedback inhibitor of the methylation process. In seeking to avail unexplored structural variations of AdoHcy for biological studies, its 6'-oxa analog and two corresponding carbocyclic nucleosides (based on aristeromycin and neplanocin) have been prepared via common convergent syntheses.
S-腺苷甲硫氨酸(AdoMet)是生物甲基化过程中普遍存在的一种辅助因子,在此过程中它会转变为S-腺苷同型半胱氨酸(AdoHcy),而AdoHcy作为甲基化过程的生物反馈抑制剂。为了探索AdoHcy尚未被研究的结构变异以用于生物学研究,通过共同的汇聚合成法制备了其6'-氧杂类似物和两种相应的碳环核苷(基于阿糖腺苷和奈拉滨)。
