S-Adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase containing NAD and 3-deaza-D-eritadenine
Overview
d-Eritadenine (DEA) is a potent inhibitor of S-adenosyl-l-homocysteine hydrolase (SAHH) and has hypocholesterolemic activity. We have hypothesized that 3-deaza-DEA (C3-DEA) and its analogues retain high level of SAHH inhibitory activity and have resistance to deamination and glycosidic bond hydrolysis in vivo. Such C3-DEA analogues would have much higher hypocholesterolemic activity. C3-DEA, and its methyl ester (C3-OMeDEA) and its methyl amido (C3-NMeDEA) were synthesized to examine their SAHH inhibitory and hypocholesterolemic activities. A crystal structure of SAHH containing C3-DEA was determined and confirmed that DEA and C3-DEA bound to the same site of SAHH with the same binding mode. The SAHH inhibitory activities of C3-DEA (K(I)=1.5 microM) and C3-OMeDEA (K(I)=1.5 microM) are significantly lower than that of DEA (K(I)=30 nM), while rats fed by C3-DEA and C3-OMeDEA decrease the total plasma cholesterol and phospholipids by 36-40% and 23%, respectively, which is similar to the level of reductions (42% and 27%) by DEA. C3-NMeDEA lost most of the SAHH inhibitory activity (K(I)=30 microM) and dietary C3-NMeDEA does not decrease cholesterol and phospholipid in plasma but decreases the triacylglycerol level by 16%. DEA and C3-DEA analogues are neither substrates nor inhibitors of adenosine deaminase.
