Abstract

The 8-aza-immucillins (8-aza-9-deazapurines linked from C9 to C1 of 1,4-dideoxy-1,4-iminoribitol) have been designed as transition-state analogues of the reactions catalyzed by purine nucleoside phosphorylase and nucleoside hydrolases. Syntheses of the 8-aza-immucillin analogues of inosine and adenosine are described. They are powerful inhibitors of the target enzymes with equilibrium dissociation constants as low as 42 pM.
