Acyclic acetal derivatives of the selective antiherpesvirus agent 9-(3-hydroxypropoxy) guanine (BRL44385) and of its 2-aminopurine congener (BRL46720) have been prepared and evaluated in mice for oral delivery of BRL 44385. Guanine derivatives (6 a-c) were prepared via Mitsunobu condensation of an alcohol with a 9-hydroxy-6-methoxypurine (Harnden and Wyatt, 1990). Synthesis of derivatives of 2-aminopurine (10 a-d) was achieved by hydrogenolysis of 9-alkoxy-6-chloropurines, which were obtained either by reaction of an alkoxyamine with 4,6-dichloro-2,5-diformamidopyrimidine and subsequent ring closure or by Mitsunobu condensation of an alcohol with a 6-chloro-9-hydroxypurine. Following oral administration, 2-amino-9-[3-(iso-propoxymethyl)propoxy]-purine (10b, BRL 55792) was very well absorbed and provided high and prolonged concentrations of BRL44385 in the blood. In a cutaneous HSV-1 infection in the ear pinna of mice, orally dosed BRL 55792 was at least 3-fold more potent than both BRL44385 and Acyclovir in reduction of lesion severity.

G-quadruplex structures formed by guanine-rich nucleic acids are implicated in essential physiological and pathological processes and nanodevices. G-quadruplexes are normally composed of four Gn (n ≥ 3) tracts assembled into a core of multiple stacked G-quartet layers. By dimethyl sulfate footprinting, circular dichroism spectroscopy, thermal melting, and photo-cross-linking, here we describe a unique type of intramolecular G-quadruplex that forms with one G2 and three G3 tracts and bears a guanine vacancy (G-vacancy) in one of the G-quartet layers. The G-vacancy can be filled up by a guanine base from GTP or GMP to complete an intact G-quartet by Hoogsteen hydrogen bonding, resulting in significant G-quadruplex stabilization that can effectively alter DNA replication in vitro at physiological concentration of GTP and Mg2+. A bioinformatic survey shows motifs of such G-quadruplexes are evolutionally selected in genes with unique distribution pattern in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms, implying such G-vacancy–bearing G-quadruplexes are present and play a role in gene regulation. Because guanine derivatives are natural metabolites in cells, the formation of such G-quadruplexes and guanine fill-in (G-fill-in) may grant an environment-responsive regulation in cellular processes. Our findings thus not only expand the sequence definition of G-quadruplex formation, but more importantly, reveal a structural and functional property not seen in the standard canonical G-quadruplexes.
