A survey of the chemo-enzymatic methodology for preparation nucleosides biological importance is presented. The emphasis made on enzymatic transglycosylation and glycosylation employing nucleoside phosphorylases N-deoxyribosyltransferases. Application whole cells as biocatalysts well purified enzymes from wild-type bacteria recombinant considered. Keywords: N-Deoxyribosyltransferases, deoxyribosyltransferase, Nucleoside Phosphorylases, Escherichia coli, cytidine deaminase (CDase)
This review focuses on new trends in nucleoside biotechnology, which have emerged during the last decade. Continuously growing interest study of this class compounds is fueled by a number factors: (i) need for large-scale production natural 2'-deoxy-β-D-ribonucleosides as well their analogs with modifications carbohydrate and base fragments, can then be used synthesis oligonucleotides, including short-interfering RNA (siRNA), microRNA (miRNA), etc.; (ii) necessity development efficient...
Thermostable nucleoside phosphorylases are attractive biocatalysts for the synthesis of modified nucleosides. Hence we report on recombinant expression three 'high molecular mass' purine (PNPs) derived from thermophilic bacteria Deinococcus geothermalis, Geobacillus thermoglucosidasius and hyperthermophilic archaeon Aeropyrum pernix (5'-methythioadenosine phosphorylase; ApMTAP). Thermostability studies, kinetic analysis substrate specificities reported. The PNPs were stable at their optimal...
Abstract The enzymatic transglycosylation of 2,6‐dichloropurine (26DCP) and 6‐chloro‐2‐fluoropurine (6C2FP) with uridine, thymidine 1‐(β‐ D ‐arabinofuranosyl)‐uracil as the pentofuranose donors recombinant thermostable nucleoside phosphorylases from G. thermoglucosidasius or T. thermophilus biocatalysts was studied. Selection 26DCP 6C2FP substrates is determined by their higher solubility in aqueous buffer solutions compared to most natural modified purines and, furthermore, synthesized...

The cytostatic antiviral activity compounds was evaluated against a variety tumor cell lines DNA/RNA viruses, As most active compound, from both viewpoint,...
Two approaches to the synthesis of 2-chloro-9-(2-deoxy-2-fluoro-β-D-arabinofuranosyl)adenine ( 1 , clofarabine) were studied. The first approach consists in chemical 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-α-D-arabinofuranose-1-phosphate 12a 2F Ara-1P) via three step conversion 1,3,5-tri- O -benzoyl-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-α-D-arabinofuranose 9 ) into phosphate without isolation intermediary products. Condensation with 2-chloroadenine catalyzed by recombinant E. coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) resulted...
Abstract A wide range of natural purine analogues was used as probe to assess the mechanism recognition by wild‐type (WT) E. coli nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) versus its Ser90Ala mutant. The results were analyzed from viewpoint role Ser90 residue and structural features bases. It found that PNP 1) plays an important in binding activation 8‐aza‐7‐deazapurines synthesis their nucleosides, 2) participates α‐ D ‐pentofuranose‐1‐phosphates at catalytic site PNP, 3) catalyzes dephosphorylation...
The conformations of three 2',3'-difluoro uridine nucleosides were studied by X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and ab initio calculations in an attempt to define the roles that two vicinal fluorine atoms play puckering preferences furanose ring.
