Mycophenolic alcohol (MPAlc), obtained by reduction of the carboxylic group of mycophenolic acid (MPA), was coupled with 2',3'-O-isopropylideneadenosine 5'-methylenebis(phosphonate) (4) in the presence of diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) to give P1-(2',3'-O-isopropylideneadenosin-5'-yl)-P2-(mycophenolic alcohol-6'-yl)methylenebis(phosphonate) (8) in 32% yield. Deisopropy-lidenation of 8 with CF3COOH/H2O afforded the methylenebis(phosphonate) analogue 3 of mycophenolic adenine dinucleotide (MAD). Compound 3, beta-methylene-MAD, was found to be a potent inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH) type II (Ki = 0.3 microM) as well as an inhibitor of growth of K562 cells (IC50 = 1.5 microM). In contrast to MPA and mycophenolic alcohol, beta-methylene-MAD was not converted into the glucuronide when incubated with uridine 5'-diphosphoglucuronyltransferase.
麦考酚醇(MPAlc)是通过还原麦考酚酸(MPA)的羧基得到的,在二异丙基碳二亚胺(DIC)存在下,它与2',3'-O-异丙叉腺苷5'-亚甲基双膦酸酯(4)偶联,得到P1-(2',3'-O-异丙叉腺苷-5'-基)-P2-(麦考酚醇-6'-基)亚甲基双膦酸酯(8),产率为32%。用CF3COOH/H2O对8进行去异丙叉基化反应,得到麦考酚腺嘌呤二核苷酸(MAD)的亚甲基双膦酸酯类似物3。化合物3,β-亚甲基-MAD,被发现是II型肌苷单磷酸脱氢酶(IMPDH)的有效抑制剂(Ki = 0.3 microM),也是K562细胞生长的抑制剂(IC50 = 1.5 microM)。与MPA和麦考酚醇不同,β-亚甲基-MAD与尿苷5'-二磷酸葡萄糖醛酸转移酶孵育时不会转化为葡萄糖醛酸苷。
