Abstract
Novel 3′-ureidoadenosine analogues were synthesized from 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-D-glucose in order to lead to stronger hydrogen bonding at the A3 adenosine receptor than the corresponding 3′-aminoadenosine derivatives. However, all synthesized 3′-ureidoadenosine analogues have lost their binding affinities to the all subtypes of adenosine receptors, indicating that bulky 3′-urea moiety led to conformational distortion.
