Preference for the Northern (N) ring conformation of the ribose moiety of nucleotide 5'-triphosphate agonists at P2Y(1), P2Y(2), P2Y(4), and P2Y(11) receptors, but not P2Y(6) receptors, was established using a ring-constrained methanocarba (a 3.1.0-bicyclohexane) ring as a ribose substitute (Kim et al. J. Med. Chem. 2002, 45, 208-218.). We have now combined the ring-constrained (N)-methanocarba modification of adenine nucleotides with other functionalities known to enhance potency at P2 receptors. The potency of the newly synthesized analogues was determined in the stimulation of phospholipase C through activation of turkey erythrocyte P2Y(1) or human P2Y(1) and P2Y(2) receptors stably expressed in astrocytoma cells. An (N)-methanocarba-2-methylthio-ADP analogue displayed an EC(50) at the hP2Y(1) receptor of 0.40 nM and was 55-fold more potent than the corresponding triphosphate and 16-fold more potent than the riboside 5'-diphosphate. 2-Cl-(N)-methanocarba-ATP and its N(6)-Me analogue were also highly selective, full agonists at P2Y(1) receptors. The (N)-methanocarba-2-methylthio and 2-chloromonophosphate analogues were full agonists exhibiting micromolar potency at P2Y(1) receptors, while the corresponding ribosides were inactive. Although beta,gamma-methylene-ATP was inactive at P2Y receptors, beta,gamma-methylene-(N)-methanocarba-ATP was a potent hP2Y(1) receptor agonist with an EC(50) of 160 nM and was selective versus hP2Y(2) and hP2Y(4) receptors. The rates of hydrolysis of Northern (N) and Southern (S) methanocarba analogues of AMP by rat 5'-ectonucleotidase were negligible. The rates of hydrolysis of the corresponding triphosphates by recombinant rat NTPDase1 and 2 were studied. Both isomers were hydrolyzed by NTPDase 1 at about half the rate of ATP hydrolysis. The (N) isomer was hardly hydrolyzed by NTPDase 2, while the (S) isomer was hydrolyzed at one-third of the rate of ATP hydrolysis. This suggests that new, more stable and selective nucleotide agonists may be designed on the basis of the (N)-conformation, which greatly enhanced potency at P2Y(1) receptors.
