title: Anti-malarial activity of N(6)-substituted adenosine derivatives. Part I.
abstract: The synthesis and biological evaluation of novel N(6)-substituted adenosine derivatives is reported. The first series of compounds was obtained using an established procedure for the nucleophilic substitution of a 1-(6-chloro-purin-9-yl)-beta-D-1-deoxy-ribofuranose with various amines. In addition, attachment of two different amino-functionalised spacer arms at the N(6)-position of adenosine enabled derivatisation by an innovative polymer-assisted protocol. Thus, we were able to prepare three series of substituted derivatives that displayed activity versus the multiresistant Plasmodium falciparum strain Dd2 in cell culture experiments.
