Novel acyclic halogenated tubercidins (4-amino-5-halo-7-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)-methyl]pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines) were examined for their ability to inhibit human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in yield reduction assays. 5-Bromo acyclic tubercidin (compound 102) was a more potent inhibitor of virus replication than the chloro- and iodo-substituted analogs (compounds 100 and 104). At a 100 μM concentration, the bromo and chloro compounds were more potent than acyclovir but not ganciclovir. Virus titers were reduced more than 99% by compounds 102 and 104 whereas compound 100 and the equally potent acyclovir reduced titers by only 90%. Quantitation of viral DNA by DNA hybridization demonstrated strong inhibition of HCMV DNA synthesis by these compounds. The most potent inhibitor, compound 102, had a 50% inhibitory (I50) concentration (1.6 μM) comparable to that of ganciclovir (1.8 μM). Cytotoxicity in uninfected human cells was evaluated and revealed the following: cell growth rates slowed markedly in the presence of 10 μM compound 102 whereas the same concentration of compounds 100 and 104 led to only a slight prolongation of population doubling time; these compounds inhibited cellular DNA synthesis but not RNA or protein synthesis, as measured by incorporation of radiolabeled precursors into acid-precipitable macromolecules; flow cytometry indicated that compound 102 was a mid-S phase blocker, and adenosine antagonized the inhibition of [3H]dThd incorporation by compound 102. Together, these results demonstrate that compound 102 is a potent and selective inhibitor of viral and cellular DNA synthesis and that acyclic halogenated pyrrolopyrimidine nucleosides may have therapeutic potential.
