Kinetics and mechanism of the general-acid-catalyzed ring-closure of the malondialdehyde-DNA adduct, N2-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)deoxyguanosine (N2OPdG-), to 3-(2'-Deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)pyrimido[1,2-alpha]purin- 10(3H)-one (M1dG)

3-(2'-Deoxy-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)pyrimido[1,2-alpha]purin-10(3H)-one (M1dG) is the major product of the reaction of deoxyguanosine with malondialdehyde (MDA). M1dG blocks replication by DNA polymerases in vitro and is mutagenic in vivo. M1dG reacts with hydroxide to form the N2-(3-oxo-1-propenyl)deoxyguanosine anion (N2OPdG-). This reaction is pH-dependent and reverses under neutral and acidic conditions to form M1dG. Here we describe the kinetics and mechanism of the ring-closure reaction in both the nucleoside and oligonucleotides. Kinetic analysis of absorbance and fluorescence changes demonstrates that ring-closure is biphasic, leading to the rapid formation of an intermediate that slowly converts to M1dG in a general-acid-catalyzed reaction. The dependence of the rate of the rapid phase on pH reveals the pKa for protonated N2OPdG is 6.9. One-dimensional 1H NMR and DQF-COSY experiments identified two distinct intermediates, N2OPdG-H and 8-hydroxy-6,7-propenodeoxyguanosine (HO-Prene-dG), that are formed upon acidification of N2OPdG-. Characterization of ring-closure in single-stranded and in melted duplex oligonucleotides shows M1dG formation is also acid-catalyzed in single-stranded oligonucleotides and that the denaturation of an oligonucleotide duplex enhances ring-closure. This work details the complexity of ring-closure in the nucleoside and oligonucleotides and provides new insight into the role of duplex DNA in catalyzing ring-opening and ring-closing of M1dG and N2OPdG.     

Design and Synthesis of Pyrido[1,2-e]purin-4（3H）-one Derivatives as Potential PDE 5 Inhibitors

A novel series of pyrido[ 1,2-e]purin-4（3H）-one derivatives containing polar substituents on 5＇-position were designed and prepared as potential PDE5 inhibitors. This paper reports the synthetic routes, 1H-NMR data, and the PDE5 inhibitory activities of the target compounds. The polar piperazinyl group contained （on 5＇-position） compound, 3B2, showed the highest activity among the tested derivatives but less potency than sildenafil 1.     

Synthesis of D-Glucosamine-Modified Benzo[d][1,2]selenazol-3-(2H)-one Derivatives

A new class of organoselenium-saccharide derivatives, 2-amino-2-deoxy-β-D-glucose-modified benzo[d][1,2]selenazol-3-(2H)-one derivatives, has been synthesized via the cyclization reaction of 2-(chloroseleno)benzoyl chloride and O-protected D-glucosamine derivatives. An efficient synthetic method for the preparation of this type of compounds was developed. It has been found that acetone can react with the chloroseleno group under basic conditions, and organoselenium-saccharide derivatives with free hydroxy groups were obtained only when the OH-1 group of the saccharide was protected.     

Annulation reactions of 3-aminoisoquinolin-l(2H)-one. Synthesis of pyrimido[1,2-b]isoquinolines,pyrido-[2,3-c]isoquinolines and pyrrolo[2,3-c]isoquinolines

Reactions of the title compound with the malonic acid derivatives diethyl ethoxymethylenemalonate (EMME), ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate (EMCA) and ethoxymethylenemalononitrile (EMMN) are reported. Condensations occur at the amino group or C-4, depending on conditions and the former intermediate was successfully cyclized to the pyrimido[1,2-b]isoquinoline system. Reactions with 2,4-pentanedione and p-bromophenacyl bromide gave only the angular systems, pyrido[2,3-c]isoquinoline and pyrrolo[2,3-c]isoquin-oline, respectively.

Synthesis of pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles from ethyl 2-ethoxymethylidene-3-oxo-3-(polyfluoroalkyl)propionates

Cyclization of ethyl 2-ethoxymethylidene-3-oxo-3-polyfluoroalkylpropionates with benzimidazol-2-amine in boiling 1,4-dioxane followed two concurrent pathways with participation of fluoroacyl and ethoxycarbonyl fragments and formation of, respectively, ethyl 4-hydroxy-4-polyfluoroalkyl-1,4-dihydropyrimido-[1,2-a]benzimidazole-3-carboxylates and 3-polyfluoroacylpyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-4-ols. Dihydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole derivatives undergo dehydration to give ethyl 4-(polyfluoroalkyl)pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole-3-carboxylates, whereas the hydroxy group in 3-polyfluoroacylpyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazol-4-ols is capable of being replaced by the amino group of the second benzimidazole molecule with formation of 4-(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylamino)-3-polyfluoroacylpyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles.

2-Methyl-s-triazolo[1,5-b]isoquinolin-5(10H)-one

Acetamidrazone hydrochloride reacts with homophthalic anhydride to give 3-o-carboxybenzyl-5-methyl-1,2,4-triazole 1, which can be cyclised to 2-methyl-s-triazolo[1,5-b] isoquinolin-5(10H)-one 2. Reduction with lithium aluminium hydride gives 5,10-dihydro-2-methyl-s-triazolo [1,5-b] isoquinoline, while condensation with aromatic aldehydes gives 10-arylmethylene derivatives. Coupling with arenediazonium salts gives the 10-arylhydrazones of 5,10-dihydro-2-methyl-s-triazolo [1,5-b] isoquinoline-5,10-diones, while condensation with p-nitrosodimethylaniline gives the 10-imino derivative.
