Regiochemical Analysis of the ProTide Activation Mechanism
ProTides are nucleotide analogues used for the treatment of specific viral infections. These compounds consist of a masked nucleotide that undergoes in vivo enzymatic and spontaneous chemical transformations to generate a free mononucleotide that is ultimately transformed to the pharmaceutically active triphosphorylated drug. The three FDA approved ProTides are composed of a phosphoramidate (P–N) core coupled with a nucleoside analogue, phenol, and an l-alanyl carboxylate ester. The previously proposed mechanism of activation postulates the existence of an unstable 5-membered mixed anhydride cyclic intermediate formed from the direct attack of the carboxylate group of the l-alanyl moiety with expulsion of phenol. The mixed anhydride cyclic intermediate is further postulated to undergo spontaneous hydrolysis to form a linear l-alanyl phosphoramidate product. In the proposed mechanism of activation, the 5-membered mixed anhydride intermediate has been detected previously using mass spectrometry, but the specific site of nucleophilic attack by water (P–O versus C–O) has not been determined. To further interrogate the mechanism for hydrolysis of the putative 5-membered cyclic intermediate formed during ProTide activation, the reaction was conducted in 18O-labeled water using a ProTide analogue that could be activated by carboxypeptidase Y. Mass spectrometry and 31P NMR spectroscopy were used to demonstrate that the hydrolysis of the mixed anhydride 5-membered intermediate occurs with exclusive attack at the phosphorus center.
期刊介绍:
Biochemistry provides an international forum for publishing exceptional, rigorous, high-impact research across all of biological chemistry. This broad scope includes studies on the chemical, physical, mechanistic, and/or structural basis of biological or cell function, and encompasses the fields of chemical biology, synthetic biology, disease biology, cell biology, nucleic acid biology, neuroscience, structural biology, and biophysics. In addition to traditional Research Articles, Biochemistry also publishes Communications, Viewpoints, and Perspectives, as well as From the Bench articles that report new methods of particular interest to the biological chemistry community.
