Title: Synthesis of a potent transition-state inhibitor of 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase.

Authors: Kamath VP, Ananth S, Bantia S, Morris PE.

Abstract: Human 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) participates in the purine salvage pathway to generate adenine and methylthioribose-1-phosphate, which in turn is converted into adenine nucleotides and methionine. Hence, inhibition of MTA phosphorylase may be an effective target in the design of potential antiproliferative agents. Presented herein is the synthesis of 2-(4-amino-5H-pyrrolo[3,2-d]pyrimidin-7-yl)-5-methylsulfanylmethylpyrrolidin-3,4-diol (1), a potent inhibitor of MTAP.
