i~owever, the method ~f preparation of the SAME solution is also
an influencing factor in carrying out the new process in an
economically convenient manner.
The following operational stages provide the most economlcal
embodiment of the process:
a) rTormal bread yeast is enriched in SA~i~ by treatment with
methionine in accordance with the Schlenk method (Schlenk ~.
(19~5) Enzymologie 29, 283)
b) The yeast cells suspended in water are lysised byr treatment
with ethyl or methyl acetate at ambient te~perature (DT_GS P23
36401.4).
By adjusting the pH to between 4 and 6 arld filtering~ an 3queous
501ution iS obtained containing practically all the SAME present
in the iritial yeast
c) The solution is concentrated under vacuu at 35_40C to about
1/10 of its initial volume
d) The concentrate is boiled under ~efiux for about 30 minutes and
the pH adjusted to 7 with soda
e~ The solutlon is left to st~nd at 0-5 C, and the precipitated ~A
is collected practically completely and at good purity.
The stages c, d and e, which as stated are critlcally necessary for
obtaining complete selective hydrolysis of SA~E to i~A without
formation of by-products, are new.
The preparation of some products used according to the present
invention are described hereinafterO

Indo~ethacine 9 5
(a) signiEies that the product was administered intr3muscularly
~s can ~e seen from this table, the ED50 f the ~ITA is 37 mg/kg,
and is thus the lowest of those of ~he compounds tested when
administered Drally.
In the same testS the ED50 of indomethacine is 9 ~g/kg. At
these doses7 there is the appearance of serious gastric lesions,
whereas at the ~D50 doses the MTA gives rise to no secondary
effect on the gastro-intestinal system. It shonld also be
noted that the ~D of indomethaGine in the rat is 12 mg/kg
(~Iartelli A. in Aspetti di farmacolo~ia dell'infia~mazione, page
73, published by Tamburini - Milan 1973)~ whereas the LD50 f
~ITA in the rat is > 200 mg~kg/oa
The following therapeutical lndices are therefore obtained:
Indomethacine TI = 1.3
MTA TI = > 54 05
The compounds according to the invention were also subjected to
a series of pharmacological tests for the purpose of confirming
their antiinfla~mator~ acti~ity and for demonstrating tneir
analgesic and antipyretic activity.
The results obtained in some of these tests with MTA are given
hereinafter, this being a product which in all cases p.roved to
be the most active when administered orally, and which is

cerlainly the safest as it is a compound physiologically present
in the organism9 as already stated.
Rgain from the industrial production vie~oint, the method for
producing ~A from SAl~E as discovered is by far the most simple
and economical, an~ enables it to be marketed at a particularly
low price.
As can be seen from the data of table 1~ methylthioadenosine
sulphoxide is particularly active when administered intramuscularly~
The greater activity of said compcund on intramuscular administration
was co firmed in all the testfi carried out. Some significant data
regarding ~TA sulphox~de are also given, howe~er it should be noted
that all the compounds tested were in all cases shown to be active,
although at different leveis.
A - Antiinflammatory activity
Tke products were tested by pleuritis induced in the rat by
carragen in accordance with the Velo method (Velo G.P. 7 DUNN
C.J~ et al. (1973) u. Path. 111? 149).
~TA at a dose of 75 m ~kg by oral administration gave a
protection of 42.4% calculated on the volume of the exudate~
and 48~8~ calculated on the total number of cells present in
the exudate.
A comparable protection was obtained with 10 mg/kg of indomethacille,
iOe. with a dose much closer to the LD50. In the same test,
the ~A sulphoxide gives a protection of 75~80,o calculated on
the volume of the exudate, and 76.4~ calculated on the total
number of cells present in the exudate when administered
intramuscularly at a dose of 80 m ~ kg.
B _ Antiinflamm~tory activity
In the granuloma test in the rat by cotton pellets (~,~linter C.A.,

Riseley E.A et al (1963) J. ~harm. Exper. Ther. 141, 369), which
is significant for chronic inflammation, the ~rrA gave a protection
of 30~ with an oral dGse of 9 mg/kg7 with a TI of 2Z2.
C _ The analgesic activity of the produ_ts was tested by two tests
considered very significantO
- In the hot plate test on the mouse according to ~oberts (Roberts
E. Simonsen D.G. (1966) Biochem. Pharmac. 15, 1875) the ~A gives
a protection of 50% with an oral dose of 37 mg/kg. An apprOX-
imately equivalent protection of 580~ is obtained with 100 mg/kg
of amidopyrine admin stered orallyO
In the same test MTA sulphoxide gives a protection of 50% at a
dose of 20 m~/kg when administered intramuscularly, and at a
dose of 100 m~ g when administered orally~
_ In the stretching test by phenylquinone (Siegmund E., Cadmus R.,
G0_1U ~1957~ Proc. Soc. Expo BiolO MedO 95~ 729), the ~A gives
a protection of 51% at an oral dose of 37 m~/kg.
In the same test~ ~A sulphoxide has an ED50 of 10 mg~kg ~rhen
adm;nistered intramuscularly.
D _ Ant~pvretic ac~ivity.
This was meesured for the new products by means of fever induced
in the rat by beer yeast (Winder C~V. et al (1961) J~ Pharmacol.
Exp. TherO 133~ 117) ~
~he antipyretic effect evaluated one hour after oral administration
of ~A at a dose of 300 mg/kg gave a temper3ture reduction of
4.59' with respect to the controls9 which were ~re~ted only with
yeast. Tnis percentage corresponded to a temperature lowering
from 38.8C to 37~4co
By comparisor, amidopyrine administered orally at a dose of 200 mg/kg
produced a temperature reduction of 4,69%, and intramuscular

_ Platelet antiaggregation activity.
The com~ounds of -the invention have also been evaluated
with respect to their possible platelet antiaggregation
capacity.
Platelet aggreOation is known to be a com~lex phenomenon
~hich can be divided into a primary stage due to the
direct action of a stimulus ~for example adenosine
diphosphate~ i.e. ADP1 or epinephrin) and a secondary
stage due to the aggregation induced by the A~P released
by the platelets. In this respect~ when the platelets
come into contact with the subendothelial colls~en~ the
collagen initiates an entire series of reactions which
lead to the release of ~DP by the platelets. It is this
ADP which causes the second wave of platelet aggregation.
~he following tests were carried out in order to evaluate
the antiaggregation effect of the new compounds:
l) "in vitro" tests on platelet aggregation induced by ~3P
and collagen, in the presence of the new products;
2) "in vitro" tests on platelet aggregation induced by
arachidonic acid (AA);
3~ "in vivo" tests on platelet aggregation induced by A3P
and collagen in persons treated with the new products.
In this case the most significant results :;ere again obiained
~`lith i~A, because of ~hich the results obtained usin3 this
product are given as indicative of ihe behaviour of the
en~ire class.

- 17 ~ ~ ~ 9 ~10$
1) "in vitro" tests.
~lood was withdrat.m without stasis, and an anticoagulant
(3.8/o/ sodium citrate) was added to give a blood:citrate ratio
of 9:1. Plasma rich in platelets and plasma poor in
platelets were obtained by centrifuging at ambient temperature.
The platelet aggregation was estimated using the Born & Cross
method (G.V.R. Born and M.J, Cross~ JO Physiol., Lond. 168
178, 1963) on the plasma fraction rich in platelets.
The aggregating agents were used in the following concen-
trations: ADP (Sigma) 1 ~1~; collagen (Horn) 5/ug/ml;
arachidonic acid 4xlO lvl.
Adenosine a$ a concentration of lxlO 5~- was used as the
antiag~regation activity reference substanceO
The results obtained with ADP are shot~n on the graphs of
F-g~ 1, in which the abscissa indicates the time in minutes
and the ordinate the ~ercentage aggregation.
Curve 1 relates to the controls, curve 2 to the samples treated
with lxlO 5M adenosine, and curve 3 to the samples treated with
5xlO M ~A.
~rom the curve pattern it is apparent that ~l~A strongly reduces
primary platelet aggregation due to A3P, and as a consequence
inhibits the 2nd!aggreOatior wave.
The same tests carried out with collagen gave negative results,
i e~ ~!TA showed no inhibiting power towards platelet agOreOation
induced by collagen which was worthy of note.

~ 18 ~ 5
2) rig. 2 shows the effects of v3rious l~ concentratio~s on
platelet aggregation induced by AA at a concentra-tion of 4xlO li.
Curve 1 relates to the controls, curve 2 to i~lTA at a concentration
of 2.5xlO M, curve 3 to iiTA at a concentration of 5xlO Ivl, and
curve 4 to ;ITA at a concentration of 10 3M. As is apparent,
the platelet aggregation inhibiting effect of the ~rA is proportional
to its concentration. The capacity of ~iTA to increase the
inhibiting effect of prostacyclin (PGI2) in ag~regation induced by
~A was also investigated. In Fig. 3, curve 1 relates to the
controlsl curve 2 to i~l~A at a concentration of 5xlO ~i, cur~e 3
to FGI2 at a con~entration of 5xlO 9M, and curve 4 to a mixture
consisting of 5xlO iil~lrA and 5xlO 9M PGI2. It is apparent fro~
Fig. 3 that when used in mixture there i~ a strong increase in the
antiaO~regation action at concentrations ~lhich are in themselves
ineffective.
3) '1in vivo" tests.
Three apparently healthy volunteer subjects aged ~5, 42 and 48
years respectively, and ~ho had not taken any drug for at least
15 days, were submitted to a~gregation tests before and after
consumin~ the new products at a dose of 100 mg every 8 hours for
3 days, these tests then being evaluated. The blood sample for
the determination of the platelet aggregation ~as taken 2 hours
before consuming the last dose of product under test9
Fig. 4 shows ~he results obta-ned with Irr.~
i:ore ~recisely~ the full-line curves relate to he values obtained
:lith blood samples fro~ untreated patients, whereas the dashed-line
curves relate to the values obtained for the sane ~atients treated
;~ith ;:TA.

~ 19 -
It is a~parent that ~iT~ stron,ly inhibits platelet a~gregation
induced by A~P (l/ull) "in vivo".
The same tests repeated on adding 5 ~ ~ml of collagen to the
blood de~onstrated that J~A is not effective in inhibiting
platelet aggregation induced by collagen, but only len~thens the
latency time of the phenomenon.
The fact that ~ITA (snd in a more or less compar3ble manner the
other ~roducts of the same class) strongly inhibits platelet
aggregation induced by ADP, whereas it has practically no effect
on a~regation induced by collagen, indicates that I~I~A inhibits
the 1st aggregation wave, whereas it has a negligible direct
effect on the 2nd aggregation wave.
Its use in association with other knotm antiaggregation drugs
~hich are generally active towards the 2nd l~ave whereas are only
poorly effective towards the 1st ,~ave is therefore particularly
interesting.
~he de~onstrated activity su~ests the use of i~A (and of the other
com~o~nds of the series, even if less effective~ not only as a
platelet antiaggregation drug, but also as an antithroi~botic and
antiatherosclerotic drug, in that, besides being the basis of
throh~bogenesis mechanisms, the altered relationship between
platelets and vasal walls also plays a primary role in atherosclerotic
illness.

_ Sleep inducing activity.
The Morris test was used (Morris R.W~ (1966) Arch. int. Pharmacodyn
161, No. 2, 380)
In this test~ the MTA increased by 8~ the duration of the sleep
induced by pentobarbital in the mouse7 at an intramuscular dose
of 20 m~/kg.
G _ ~cute toxicity-
The compounds of the present invention are practically free from
acute toxicity when administered orally~ They are practically
free from toxicity at therapeutic doses for any method o~
administration.
The following values are obtained for M~A and I~TA sulphoxide:
MTA - DL50 in the mouse orally ~ 2000 mg~kg
intravenously ~60 mg/kg
MTA sulphoxide - D~50 in the mouse
orally > 2000 mg/kg
intravenously 400 mg/kg
The adenosine derivatives of formula (I) can be administered~
diluted with suitable pharmacologically acceptable excipient~,
in any therapeutically useful form; orally, parenterally or by
venous or rectal means. They can also be used in products ~or
e~ternal use by topical aFplication~
