Bioorg Med Chem. 2016 Jan 15;24(2):226-31. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2015.12.006. Epub 2015 Dec 8.

Abstract

A novel potent xanthine oxidase inhibitor, 3-nitrobenzoyl 9-deazaguanine (LSPN451), was selected from a series of 10 synthetic derivatives. The enzymatic assays were carried out using an on-flow bidimensional liquid chromatography (2D LC) system, which allowed the screening¸ the measurement of the kinetic inhibition constant and the characterization of the inhibition mode. This compound showed a non-competitive inhibition mechanism with more affinity for the enzyme-substrate complex than for the free enzyme, and inhibition constant of 55.1±9.80 nM, about thirty times more potent than allopurinol. Further details of synthesis and enzymatic studies are presented herein.

Keywords: 9-Deazaguanine; Allopurinol; Green synthesis; Microwave; Non-competitive inhibition; On-flow bidimensional liquid chromatography; Xanthine oxidase inhibitor.
