Purine analogs targeting the guanine riboswitch as potential antibiotics against Clostridioides difficile.
    European journal of medicinal chemistry, 2018, Jan-01, Volume: 143

    Riboswitches recently emerged as possible targets for the development of alternative antimicrobial approaches. Guanine-sensing riboswitches in the bacterial pathogen Clostridioides difficile (formerly known as Clostridium difficile) constitute potential targets based on their involvement in the regulation of basal metabolic control of purine compounds. In this study, we deciphered the structure-activity relationship of several guanine derivatives on the guanine riboswitch and determined their antimicrobial activity. We describe the synthesis of purine analogs modified in ring B as well as positions 2 and 6. Their biological activity was determined by measuring their affinity for the C. difficile guanine riboswitch and their inhibitory effect on bacterial growth, including a counter-screen to discriminate against riboswitch-independent antibacterial effects. Altogether, our results suggest that improvements in riboswitch binding affinity in vitro do not necessarily translate into improved antibacterial activity in bacteria, despite the fact that some structure-activity relationship was observed at least with respect to binding affinity.

Toward novel DNA binding metal complexes: structure and basic kinetic data of [M(9MeG)2(CH3OH)(CO)3]+(M = 99Tc, Re).
    Inorganic chemistry, 2003, May-05, Volume: 42, Issue:9

    To study the interaction of the fac-[M(CO)(3)](+) moiety (M = (99m)Tc, (188)Re) with DNA bases, we reacted [M(OH(2))(3)(CO)(3)](+) with 9-methylguanine (9-MeG), guanosine (G), and 2-deoxyguanosine (2dG). Two bases bind to the metal center via the N7 atoms. X-ray structure analysis of [(99)Tc(CH(3)OH)(9-MeG)(2)(CO)(3)](+) (4) (monoclinic, I2/a, a = 28.7533(14) A, b = 8.0631(4) A, c = 32.3600(15) A, beta = 91.543(6) degrees, V = 7499.6(6) A(3), Z = 8) and [Re(OH(2))(9-MeG)(2)(CO)(3)](+) (7) (monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 12.2873(11) A, b = 16.0707(13) A, c = 14.1809(16) A, beta = 103.361(12) degrees, V = 2724.4(5) A(3), Z = 4) reveals that the two bases are in a head-to-tail (HT) orientation. Kinetic studies show that the rates of substitution of the purine bases are comparable to that of one of the active forms of cisplatin. The bis-substituted complexes are generally less stable than the platinum adducts, and metalation of the bases is reversible.
