Abstract
We report here an efficient solid-phase synthesis of N-1-alkyl-substituted analogues of cyclic inosine-diphosphate-ribose (cIDPR), a mimic of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). Our synthetic strategy makes use of a polystyrene support to which inosine was bonded through a 2′,3′-acetal linkage. Insertion of a ω-hydroxy-polymethylene chain of variable length on N-1, followed by conversion into N-1-alkylinosine-bis-phosphate derivatives and cyclization, allowed to obtain analogues of cIDPR of various ring size. The cyclization step was carried out both in solid-phase and in solution by pyrophosphate bond formation. The effect of the N-1-polymethylene chain length on the cyclization yields as well as the reaction conditions, which led to the solid-phase pyrophosphate bond formation, were thoroughly investigated.
