New carbocyclic pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine nucleoside analogs were synthesized with the key intermediate, 4-amino-6-bromo-5-cyanopyrrolo[2,3- d]pyrimidine (2), by SN2 reaction. One of the products, 4-amino-6-bromo-1- cyclopentyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carboxamide (9), showed significant anti-proliferative activity to the human ovarian cancer PA-1 cells (IC50: 3.9 μM). Based on the biological effects and the functional group characteristics of the compound 9, other carbocyclic nucleoside analogs related to the compound 9 were synthesized with key intermediate 2 by a Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling reaction. As expected, syn-4-amino-6-bromo-7-[4-(methoxymethyl)-2- cyclopenten-1-yl]- 7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-5-carboxamide (15) showed very similar antiproliferative activity (IC50: 2.6 μM) when compared to compound 9.

Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and is one of the leading causes of male cancer death in the world. Recently, in the course of our screening for a novel anticancer compound, we synthesized carbocyclic analogs of pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine nucleoside; compounds 5, and 6. In the current study, we report the effects of compound 5 on pleiotropic induction of cell death via up-regulation of AR-associated p21Cip1 protein in prostate cancer cells with different androgen responsiveness, such as LNCaP (androgen-dependent and -sensitive), LNCaPC4-2 (androgen-independent and -sensitive; androgen-refractory), and DU145 (androgen-independent and -insensitive) cells. The treatment of LNCaP cells with 6 μM compound 5 for 24 h stimulated the androgen receptor (AR) activity and dramatically up-regulated transcription (56-fold) of p21Cip1, which, in turn, induces typical apoptosis in the cells. However, induction of apoptosis through up-regulation (23-fold) of AR-associated p21Cip1 achieved in LNCaPC4-2 cells was possible by intensive cell treatment with compound 5 (9 μM, 48 h), because the cells are less sensitive and independent to androgen than LNCaP cells. Furthermore, 6 μM compound 5-treated DU145 cells, which exhibit extremely low AR activation due to no androgen responsiveness and dependency, showed neither up-regulation of p21Cip1 nor apoptotic induction. Instead, a different type of cell death, autophagy-like death through the LC3B-associated autophagosome formation, was obviously induced in DU145 cells. Taken together, our results suggest that pleiotropic induction of prostate cancer cell death by compound 5 is determined by how efficiently and how abundantly androgen-dependent activation of the AR occurs, whereas compound 6 shows no induction of apoptosis in LNCaP cells.

Inhibitors of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) and mutants, such as G2019S, have potential utility in Parkinson’s disease treatment. Fragment hit-derived pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines underwent optimization using X-ray structures of LRRK2 kinase domain surrogates, based on checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) and a CHK1 10-point mutant. (2R)-2-Methylpyrrolidin-1-yl derivative 18 (LRRK2 G2019S cKi0.7 nM, LE 0.66) was identified, with increased potency consistent with an X-ray structure of 18 /CHK1 10-pt. mutant showing the 2-methyl substituent proximal to Ala147 (Ala2016 in LRRK2). Further structure-guided elaboration of 18 gave the 2-[(1,3-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)amino] derivative 32 . Optimization of 32 afforded diastereomeric oxolan-3-yl derivatives 44 and 45 , which demonstrated a favorablein vitroPK profile, although they displayed species disconnects in thein vivoPK profile, and a propensity for P-gp- and/or BCRP-mediated efflux in a mouse model. Compounds 44 and 45 demonstrated high potency and exquisite selectivity for LRRK2 and utility as chemical probes for the study of LRRK2 inhibition.
