A series of triesters of cyclic[c]AMP was synthetized by treatment of free acid with various diazoalkanes (R = H, CH3, C6H5, o-NO2C6H4,p-CH3C6H4). The resulting diastereomeric mixtures were separated into their axial and equatorial components. Hydrolysis of the compounds and photolysis of the photolabile o-nitrobenzyl ester were examined. All compounds were then tested for their ability to activate the cAMP-dependent protein kinase and serve as a substrate for the cAMP phosphodiesterase showing almost no effect on either enzyme. In a biological assay the benzyl triesters were able to penetrate into C 6 rat glioma cells and induce the typical morphological alteration of the cell shape known for high cellular levels of cAMP. The benzyl triesters of cAMP appear to be useful derivatives which can be efficiently and specifically converted to the parent nucleotide. Benzyl derivatives of biologically active phosphodiesters may provide a useful tool for study in biology and pharmacology.
