Nucleotide analogues are used for treating viral infections such as HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, influenza, and SARS-CoV-2. To become polymerase substrates, a nucleotide analogue must be phosphorylated by cellular kinases which is rate-limiting. The goal of this study is to develop dNTP/NTP analogues directly from nucleotides. Tenofovir (TFV) analogues were synthesized by conjugating with amino acids. We demonstrate that some conjugates act as dNTP analogues and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) catalytically incorporates the TFV part as the chain terminator. X-ray structures in complex with HIV-1 RT/dsDNA showed binding of the conjugates at the polymerase active site, however, in different modes in the presence of Mg2+ versus Mn2+ ions. The adaptability of the compounds is seemingly essential for catalytic incorporation of TFV by RT. 4d with a carboxyl sidechain demonstrated the highest incorporation. 4e showed weak incorporation and rather behaved as a dNTP-competitive inhibitor. This result advocates the feasibility of designing NTP/dNTP analogues by chemical substitutions to nucleotide analogues.

替诺福韦-氨基酸缀合物起聚合酶底物的作用—在发现核苷酸类似物时避免细胞磷酸化的意义。

核苷酸类似物用于治疗病毒感染,例如HIV,乙型肝炎,丙型肝炎,流行性感冒和SARS-CoV-2。为了成为聚合酶底物,核苷酸类似物必须被限速的细胞激酶磷酸化。这项研究的目的是直接从核苷酸开发dNTP / NTP类似物。替诺福韦(TFV)类似物通过与氨基酸结合而合成。我们证明,一些共轭物充当dNTP类似物和HIV-1逆转录酶(RT)催化纳入TFV部分作为链终止剂。与HIV-1 RT / dsDNA复合的X射线结构显示了结合物在聚合酶活性位点处的结合,但是,在存在Mg 2+与Mn 2+的情况下,其结合方式不同离子。化合物的适应性似乎是通过RT催化引入TFV所必需的。具有羧基侧链的4d表现出最高的结合。图4e显示弱结合,并且表现为dNTP竞争性抑制剂。该结果提倡通过化学取代核苷酸类似物来设计NTP / dNTP类似物的可行性。
