Patent number: 5703084Abstract: This invention disclosed (2S,3R)-3(6-aminopurin-9-yl) aralkan-2-ols, a novel class of adenine derivatives (also called 9-aralkyladenines, ARADS), which have been shown to inhibit the enzyme adenosine deaminase at therapeutically useful levels. The relevant inhibitory constant (K.sub.i) values are in the range of 10.sup.-7 -10.sup.-10 M. These compounds with potencies in this range can reversibly inhibit ADA in an effective manner, without permanently deactivating the enzyme. ADA inhibitors that have similar biological profiles have been shown to be of therapeutic value when used to protect heart muscle against ischemic damage.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 1996Date of Patent: December 30, 1997Assignee: The Board of Governors for Higher Education, State of Rhode Island and Providence PlantationsInventors: Elie Abushanab, Palle V.

Patent number: 5491146Abstract: This invention discloses various analogs of erythro-hydroxynonyladenine (EHNA) which have been modified by the addition of hydroxy groups or other moieties at the #8 or #9 carbon atoms of the side-chain portion of the molecule (i.e., the erythro-hydroxynonyl chain which is attached to the adenosine ring structure). It also discloses synthetic reagents and steps that can be used to create these and other analogs of EHNA which contain hydroxyl, halide, acid, ester, ether, amine, azide, or other moieties at such locations, or at other controllable locations such as the #5, #6, or #7 carbon atoms on the side-chain. Analogs containing such side-chain modifications can also be modified in the adenosine structure if desired. The hydroxylated analogs described herein have been shown to inhibit adenosine deaminase (ADA) at therapeutically useful levels. The relevant Ki values are in the range of 10.sup.-8 to 10.sup.-9, which is within a desired range of about 10.sup.-7 to about 10.sup.-10.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 1994Date of Patent: February 13, 1996Assignee: Cypros Pharmaceutical CorporationInventor: Elie Abushanab
