Hydrolytic reactivity trends among potential prodrugs of the O2-glycosylated diazeniumdiolate family. Targeting nitric oxide to macrophages for antileishmanial activity.


ABSTRACT: Glycosylated diazeniumdiolates of structure R 2NN(O)NO-R' (R' = a saccharide residue) are potential prodrugs of the nitric oxide (NO)-releasing but acid-sensitive R 2NN(O)NO (-) ion. Moreover, cleaving the acid-stable glycosides under alkaline conditions provides a convenient protecting group strategy for diazeniumdiolate ions. Here, we report comparative hydrolysis rate data for five representative glycosylated diazeniumdiolates at pH 14, 7.4, and 3.8-4.6 as background for further developing both the protecting group application and the ability to target NO pharmacologically to macrophages harboring intracellular pathogens. Confirming the potential in the latter application, adding R 2NN(O)NO-GlcNAc (where R 2N = diethylamino or pyrrolidin-l-yl and GlcNAc = N-acetylglucosamin-l-yl) to cultures of infected mouse macrophages that were deficient in inducible NO synthase caused rapid death of the intracellular protozoan parasite Leishmania major with no host cell toxicity.
