Title: Methylenebis(sulfonamide) linked nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide analogue as an inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase inhibitor.

Authors: Chen L, Gao G, Bonnac L, Wilson DJ, Bennett EM, Jayaram HN, Pankiewicz KW.

Abstract: A methylenebis(sulfonamide) linked NAD analogue has been designed to circumvent the metabolically unstable, ionic nature of the natural pyrophosphate linkage. This NAD analogue is assembled through two Mitsunobu reactions of a methylenebis(sulfonamide) linker with two protected nucleosides. A 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl group is used as a sulfonamide protective group, which allows facile removal under mildly acidic conditions. This NAD analogue inhibits IMPDH at low micromolar concentration.
