HUMAN DIHYDROFOLATE REDUCTASE COMPLEXED WITH NADPH AND 2,4-DIAMINO-5-(1-O-CARBORANYLMETHYL)-6-METHYLPYRIMIDINE, A NOVEL BORON CONTAINING, NONCLASSICAL ANTIFOLATE
Overview
Two boron-containing, ortho-icosahedral carborane lipophilic antifolates, were synthesized, and the crystal structures of their ternary complexes, with human dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and dihydronicotinamide adenine, dinucleotide phosphate were determined. The compounds were screened for, activity against DHFR from six sources (human, rat liver, Pneumocystis, carinii, Toxoplasma gondii, Mycobacterium avium, and Lactobacillus casei), and showed good to modest activity against these enzymes. The compounds, were also tested for antibacterial activity against L. casei, M., tuberculosis H37Ra, and three M. avium strains and for cytotoxic activity, against seven different human tumor cell lines. Antibacterial and, cytotoxic activity was modest, with one sample, the closo-carborane 4, showing about 10-fold greater activity. The less toxic nido-carborane 2, was also tested as a candidate for boron neutron capture therapy, but, showed poor tumor retention and low selectivity ratios for boron, distribution in tumor tissue versus normal tissue.
