Synthesis and biological evaluation of N-[4-[5-(2,4-diamino-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-5-yl)-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroac etyl)pentyl]benzoyl]-L-glutamic acid as a potential inhibitor of GAR Tfase and the de novo purine biosynthetic pathway

The synthesis and evaluation of N-[4-[5-(2,4-diamino-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-5-yl)-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroac etyl)pentyl]benzoyl]-L-glutamic acid (2) as an inhibitor of glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase (GAR Tfase) and aminoimidazole carboxamide ribonucleotide transformylase (AICAR Tfase) are reported. The inhibitor 2 was prepared in a convergent synthesis involving C-alkylation of methyl 4-(4,4,4-trifluoro-3-dimethylhydrazonobutyl)benzoate with 1-chloro-3-iodopropane followed by construction of the pyrimidinone ring. Compound 2 was found to be an effective inhibitor of recombinant human GAR Tfase (K(i) = 0.50 microM), whereas it was inactive (K(i) > 100 microM) against E. coli GAR Tfase as well as recombinant human AICAR Tfase. Compound 2 exhibited modest, purine-sensitive growth inhibitory activity against the CCRF-CEM cell line (IC50 = 6.0 microM).

Abstract

The synthesis and evaluation of N-[4-[5-(2,4-diamino-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-5-yl)-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroac etyl)pentyl]benzoyl]-L-glutamic acid (2) as an inhibitor of glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase (GAR Tfase) and aminoimidazole carboxamide ribonucleotide transformylase (AICAR Tfase) are reported. The inhibitor 2 was prepared in a convergent synthesis involving C-alkylation of methyl 4-(4,4,4-trifluoro-3-dimethylhydrazonobutyl)benzoate with 1-chloro-3-iodopropane followed by construction of the pyrimidinone ring. Compound 2 was found to be an effective inhibitor of recombinant human GAR Tfase (K(i) = 0.50 microM), whereas it was inactive (K(i) > 100 microM) against E. coli GAR Tfase as well as recombinant human AICAR Tfase. Compound 2 exhibited modest, purine-sensitive growth inhibitory activity against the CCRF-CEM cell line (IC50 = 6.0 microM).
