Abstract: AMP mimics constitute an important class of therapeutic derivatives to treat diseases where the pool of ATP is involved. A new phosphonate derivative of 9-(5-hydroxymethylfuran-2-yl)adenine was synthesized in a multi-step sequence from commercially available adenosine. Its ability to behave as a substrate of human adenylate kinases 1 and 2 was assessed. The phosphonate was shown to be a moderate but selective substrate of the mitochondrial human AK2, better than well-known antiviral acyclic phosphonates 9-(2-phosphonomethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA, Adefovir) and (R)-9-(2-phosphonomethoxypropyl)adenine (PMPA, Tenofovir). Putative binding mode within adenylate kinase NMP site revealed by molecular docking in comparison to AMP native substrate allowed to illustrate this selective behavior.
