Inhibition of hypoxanthine-guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase activity decreases the pool of 6-oxo and 6-amino purine nucleoside monophosphates required for DNA and RNA synthesis, resulting in a reduction in cell growth. Therefore, inhibitors of this enzyme have potential to control infections, caused by and , , , and . Five compounds synthesized here that contain a purine base covalently linked by a Prolinol group to one or two phosphonate groups have values ranging from 3 nM to >10 ��M, depending on the structure of the inhibitor and the biological origin of the enzyme. X-ray crystal structures show that, on binding, these Prolinol-containing inhibitors stimulated the movement of active site loops in the enzyme. Against in cell culture, a prodrug exhibited an EC of 10 ��M. Thus, these compounds are excellent candidates for further development as drug leads against infectious diseases as well as being potential anticancer agents.
