title: 9-[(Hydroxymethyl)phenyl]adenines: new aryladenine substrates of adenosine deaminase.
abstract: New phenyl adenine compounds 5-7 were synthesized as analogues of adenosine and studied for their adenosine deaminase (ADA) substrate activity. The 9-[(o-hydroxymethyl)phenyl]methyl]adenine 5 and 9-[(m-hydroxymethyl)phenyl]adenine 7 were deaminated by ADA, and 9-[(o-hydroxyethyl)phenyl]adenine 6 was not deaminated up to 7 days. The ADA substrates 5 and 7 were deaminated quantitatively to their inosine analogues in 10 and 6h, respectively.
