Comparison of the affinity towards adenosine receptors of 2-phenyl-8-azaadenosines, bearing a lipophilic substituent on N(6), with the corresponding 2-phenyl-8-azaadenines was carried out. The compounds have good A1 affinity and high A1 selectivity. The obtained Ki(rib)/Ki(benz) ratios for A1 receptors, which

erythro-2-Phenyl-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine and its 8-aza analog were prepared and showed a very high inhibitory activity towards adenosine deaminase (ADA), with Ki 0.55 and 1.67 nM, respectively, and high affinity for A1 adenosine receptors, with Ki 28 and 2.8 nM, respectively. To

Environmental mutagenesis, 4(4), 457-467 (1982-01-01)
A chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line heterozygous at the adenine phosphoribosyl transferase (APRT) locus was used for selection of induced mutants resistant to 8-azaadenine (8AA), 6-thioguanine (6TG), ouabain (OUA), emetine (EMT) and diphtheria toxin (DIP). The expression times necessary

Molecular and cellular biology, 3(10), 1703-1710 (1983-10-01)
A two-step model to explain the high frequency of mutation at the diploid adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (aprt) locus in CHO cells has been proposed previously (Simon et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 2:1126-1133, 1982). This model indicates that two distinct classes of

Six new carbocyclic nucleosides were prepared by mounting a purine (compounds 5-7), 8-azapurine (compounds 9 and 10) or pyrimidine (compound 13) base on the amino group of (1R,cis)-3-(aminomethyl)-1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentylmethanol (2). The antiviral activity of compounds 5-7, 10 and 13, and their
