Nucleolipids of Canonical Purine ß-d-Ribo-Nucleosides: Synthesis and Cytostatic/Cytotoxic Activities Toward Human and Rat Glioblastoma Cells.

ABSTRACT: We report on the synthesis of two series of canonical purine ß-d-ribonucleoside nucleolipids derived from inosine and adenosine, which have been characterized by elemental analyses, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS) as well as by (1)H and (13)C?NMR, and pH-dependent UV/Vis spectroscopy. A selection of the novel nucleolipids with different lipophilic moieties were first tested on their cytotoxic effect toward human macrophages. Compounds without a significant inhibitory effect on the viability of the macrophages were tested on their cytostatic/cytotoxic effect toward human astrocytoma/oligodendroglioma GOS-3 cells as well as against the rat malignant neuroectodermal BT4Ca cell line. In order to additionally investigate the potential molecular mechanisms involved in the cytotoxic effects of the derivatives on GOS-3 or BT4Ca cells, we evaluated the induction of apoptosis and observed the particular activity of the nucleolipid ethyl 3-{4-hydroxymethyl-2-methyl-6-[6-oxo-1-(3,7,11-trimethyl-dodeca-2,6,10-trienyl)-1,6-dihydro-purin-9-yl]-tetrahydro-furo[3,4-d][1,3]dioxol-2-yl}propionate (8?c) toward both human and rat glioblastoma cell lines in?vitro.

Project description:Structural aspects of molnupiravir complexed with the RNA of the SARS-CoV-2 virus have been recently resolved inside the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), demonstrating the interactions of molnupiravir with purine nucleosides. However, the preference of molnupiravir to interact with one purine nucleoside over another has not been clearly investigated. Herein, the complexation of molnupiravir in its active form with guanosine and adenosine was compared, using sundry density functional theory calculations. The plausible tautomeric structures of the molnupiravir drug in complex with guanosine/adenosine were minutely scrutinized. The relative energy findings outlined the favorability of amino-molnupiravir···keto-amino-guanosine and imino-molnupiravir···amino-adenosine optimized complexes. According to the interaction (Eint) and binding (Ebind) energy values, higher preferential base-pairing of molnupiravir with guanosine over the adenosine one was recognized with Eint/Ebind values of -31.16/-21.81 and -13.93/-12.83 kcal/mol, respectively. This could be interpreted by the presence of three and two hydrogen bonds within the former and latter complexes, respectively. Observable changes in the electronic properties and global indices of reactivity of the studied complexes also confirmed the preferential binding within the studied complexes. The findings from the quantum theory of atoms in molecules and the noncovalent interaction index also support the partially covalent nature of the investigated interactions. For both complexes, changes in thermodynamic parameters outlined the spontaneous, exothermic, and nonrandom states of the inspected interactions. Inspecting the solvent effect on the studied interactions outlined more observable amelioration within the water medium compared with the gas one. These results would be a durable ground for the forthcoming studies concerned with the interactions of the molnupiravir drug with purine nucleosides.
