BACKGROUND OF THE INrVE~TION
8-Aminoguanine, a compound known since the turn
of the century, has been reported to have PNP-activity
by R. ParXs, et. al., in Biochem. Pharm., 31 (2), 163
(1982).
~-(2-Furfuryl)guanine is a known compound
described in ~. Am. C~.e~. Soc., 81, 3046 (1959) having
no disclosed utility. The present invention is
related to novel purine derivatives not obvious to an
ordinarily skilled artisan, particularly, 9-heteroaryl
guanines as having PNP-inhibiting activity.
8-Amino-9-benzylguanine was discussed at the
16th Annual Graduate Student Meetiny in Medicinal
Chemistry, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
However, the present compounds are not obvious from
either the synthesis or biological activity of
8-amino-9-~enzylquanine discussed.
With regard to various novel processes of the
present invention Ji-Wang Chern, et al, describe "A
Convenient Synthesis of 2-N-methoxycarbonyl-
aminooxazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidines" in_J. Het. Chem. 21,
1245~6 (1984). A similar synthesis is described by
S. Ram, et al, in "A Synt~esis of Carbamic
AcidCImidazo-Heteroaromatic]Methyl Ester Derivatives
Using Methoxycar~onyl Isothiocynate," eterocycles,
Vol. 22, ~o. 8, 1984, pp 1789-90, in which methoxy-
carbonyl isothiocyanate is ~sed in a one pot reagent
for the ring closure of an o-diaminopyrimidine
derivativs to afford a purine derivative possessins
the metho~ycarbonylamino unctionali~y at position
eight. -Fl~rther, the mechanism of these two syn-t-nesis
is disc~ssed ~y Ji-Wang C~e-n, et al, in "The ~ovel
Rins Opening of an Oxa~olo~5,4-d]Pyrimidine and
Subsequent Rearr~ngemen~ to ~orm an Imidazo~4,5-d]
35 Pyrimidine," ~eter?cycles, Vol. 22, ~o. 11, 1984,

Chemistry, Vol. 3, 191-281 (1963); (3) R. A.
Borssonas, Advances in Organic ~lemistry, Vol. 3,
159-190 (1963), and (4) J. F. W. McCmie, Chem. &
Ind., 603 (1979).
Examples of suitable oxygen protecting groups
are benzyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl, methyl, isopropyl,
ethyl, tertiary butyl, ethoxyethyl, and the like.
Protection of an N-H containing moiety is necessary
for some of the processes described herein for the
preparation of compounds of this invention. Suitable
nitrogen protecting groups are benzyl, triphenyl-
methyl, trialkylsilyl, trichloroethylcarbamate,
trichloroethoxycarbonyl, vinyloxycarbamate, and the
lik-.
Under certain circumstances it is necessary
to protect two different oxygens wi~h dissimilar
protecting groups such that one can be selectively
removed while leaving the other in place. The ~enzyl
and t-butyldimethylsilyl groups are used in this way
either is removal~l2 in the presence of the other,
benzyl being removed by catalytic hydrogenolysis, and
t-butyldimethylsilyl being removed by reaction with,
for example, tetra-n butylammonium fluoride.
In the process described herein for the prepara-
tion of compounds of this invention the requirements
for protective groups are senerally well recognized

Compounds of Formula 8 above may also be used
as starting materials and may be prepared by reacting
2-amino-6-chloro-4-hydroxy-5-nitropyrimidine, the
compound of formula 2 described in J. Chem. ~oc.,
1962, p. 4186, with the appropriate heteroaryl (al~yl)
amine of formula 3 in tne presence of an organic ~ase
at elevated temperatures. The resulting compound of
the formula 4 is then treated with sodium dithionite
-
and formic acid followed by further treatment with
formic acid and formamide at elevated temperatures to
afford the compound of Formula 8.
Alternative, starting materials of Formula 8
may be prepared according to a modified method of

GeneraLly, the processes of the present inven-
tion as shown in Scheme 2 above are as follows.
A 2-amino-6-chloro-4-pyrimidinol, that may be
in the monohydrate form, is suspended in methoxy-
ethanol, in the presence of excess amine or an organicbase such as triethylamine. The compound of Formula
XXX having n, m, R4, Rs, and Ar as defined above is
added to the suspension and heated optimally to a
temperature at which the suspension refluxes.
Refluxing is continued until thin layer
chromatography, for example, with 20% methanol in
methylene chloride, shows the reaction producing a
compound of Formula XX wherein n, m, R4, Rs, and Ar
are as dsfined above i9 complete.
The reaction mixture naving the compound of
Formula XX is then diluted with water and treated with
sodium nitrite in the presence of acetic acid. A
nitroso of the Formula X again having n, m, R4, Rs,
and Ar as defined above is obtained from the treatment
by the nitrite as evidenced by a color change and
precipitate. The temp~rature of the treatment is at
about room temperature.
The treatment mixture having therein the nitroso
of Formula X i5 contacted with sodium dithionite in
a solvent mixture such as formamide, formic acid,
at a temperature of from 6C-90C, preferably from 70-
80C. m e tempera~ure is then raised to the boiling
point of the solvent mixture, approximately 130-140C
for up to an hour, ~referably at least 20 minutes, or
when the color of the nitroso containing mixture
described above disappears and an inorganic salt
precipitates. The product of this contact is ~
compound or t~e Formula IV wherein n, m, R4, R5, and
Ar are as defined above.

Subsequently, the compound of Formula IV is dried
and suspended in an anhydrous solvent such as methanol,
ethanol, and the like. The suspension is then treated
with a dry acid such as HCl, to form the acid salt
shown as Formula IVa, wherein n, m, R4, Rs, and Ar
are as defined above, or ~alt corresponding to the
acid used for the treatment.
The salt IVa is basified with a concentrated
mixture of NH40H~and 97% hydrazine to obtain a base
of the Formula IVb wherein n, m, R4, Rs, and Ar are
a~ defined above. The base is unstable, how~ever, i9
dried, for example in a vacuum over P20s.
The dried free base IVb is added to a solution
of R600C~CS wherein R6 is as defined above. The
solution of R600CNCS may be prepared by suspending
potassium thiocyanate in a solvent suçh as
acetonitrile and treating with slightly less than an
equivalent of ClCOOR6 wherein R6 is as defined above
at reflux for about one hour, cooled, then stirred to
insure all of the alkylchloroformate is reacted
before the base IVb is added. The reaction of dried
free base IVb with the R6OOCNCS is mQ~itored to
completion with thin-layer chromatography using silica
in 20% methanol in methylene chloride to obtain a
compound of Formula II wherein R6, n, m, R4, Rs,
and Ar is as defined above.
A mixture of the compound or For~ula II and a
coupling agent such as N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide,
in a solvent such as anhvd~ous dimethylformamide, is
stirred at about room t~mperature until completion of
t~e reaction is shown by thin layer chromatograph to
yield a compound of Formula III wherein R6, n, m,
R4, Rs, and Ar are as defined above.

The reaction mixture having the compound of
Formula III and anhydrous potassium carbonate are
suspended in a solvent such as anhydrous methanol,
and refluxed until thin layer chromatography shows the
reaction producing a compound of Formula I wherein R
is O or O~, R3' is NHCOOR6, wherein R6 is as
defined above and n, m, R4, Rs, and Ar are as
defined above.
The compound of Formula I wherein Rl, is O
and OH and R3' is NHCOOR6 may then, if desired be
used to produce by known methods a compound of
Formula I wherein R3 is NHR wherein R is as defined
above other than CR6-
Likewise, a compound of Formula I wherein R
is S or SH may be prepared by known methods fromthe compounds of Formula I wherein Rl is O or OH.
The preparation of compounds IV, II, III, and I
may be carried out in one pot. dowever, separation
and purification of each of the compounds IV, II, III,
or I may be effected by conventional methods, if
desired.
Generally the processes of the present inven-
tion as shown in Scheme 3 - Method C above ara as
follows:
A mixture of 2-amino-6-chloropurine, potassium
carbonate, and the starting material of the formula
shown as 2 in Scheme 3 - Method C, that is generally
commercially available or can be pre~ared by methods
analogous to those known in the art, are stirred under
nitrogen for from about 2 to 48 hours. A mixture of
7- and 9- substituted chloropurines shown as Formula 4
and Formula 5 in Scheme 3 - Method C are obtained.
The desired compound of Formula 4 is separated and
treated with an aqueous acid such as dCl followed
by addition of a weak solution of a base such as ~aOH.
The mixture is heated to assure it is neutralized

~ 28~

followed by conventional separation of the desired
product of Fonmula I wherein R3 is hydrogen.
Subsequently, reactions to produce compo~mds of
Formuls 7 and Formula 8 as shown in Scheme 3 -
Method C are described above for corresponding stepsin Scheme I - Method B.
The compounds of the present invention have been
~hown to exhibit significant enzyme inhibition
activity and cytotoxic activity. In the purine
nucleoside phosphorylase (P~P-4) enzyme assay, total
inhibition was achieved at a concentration less than
about 300 micromoles on certain compound~ of the
present invention. P~P-4 activity was measured
radiochemically by measuring the formation of
~14-C]-hypoxanthine from ~14-C~inosine
CBiomedicine, 33, 39 (1980)] using human erythrocyte
as the enzyme source. The same compounds also were
found by a standard test (HTBA-l) CScience, 214, 1137,
(1981)] to be selectively cytotoxic for T-cells in the
presence of 2'-deoxyguanosine at a sLmilar
concentration range and nontoxic to B-cell in the
presence of the same amount of 2'-deoxyguanosine.
Representative examples are shown in the activity
