ELENA MATYUGINA is an academic who published a paper in 2023 entitled Design and Synthesis of New Modified Flexible Purine Bases as Potential Inhibitors of Human PNP. ELENA MATYUGINA published this work as part of a team: Khandazhinskaya, Anastasia. Here is a description of this work: The,,great interest in studying the structure of human purine nucleoside phosphorylase (hPNP) and the continued search for effective inhibitors is due to the importance of the enzyme as a target in the therapy of T-cell proliferative diseases. In addition, hPNP inhibitors are used in organ transplant surgeries to provide immunodeficiency during and after the procedure. Previously, we showed that members of the well-known fleximer class of nucleosides are substrates of E. Coli PNP. Fleximers have great promise as they have exhibited significant biological activity against a number of viruses of pandemic concern. Herein, we describe the synthesis and inhibition studies of a series of new fleximer compounds against hPNP and discuss their possible binding mode with the enzyme. At a concentration of 2 mM for the flex-7-deazapurines 1â€"4, a decrea.
