A series of base- and amino acid modified analogues of S-aristeromycinyl-L-homocysteine, a carbocyclic nucleoside, were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferases, including catechol O-methyltransferase, phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, and histamine N-methyltransferase. The base-modified analogues (8-azaadenine, 3-deazaadenine, and N6-methyladenine) were prepared
S-Aristeromycinyl-L-homocysteine, a potent inhibitor of S-adenosylmethionine-dependent transmethylations.
