BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] N-6 cyclopropylPMEDAP (ācpr-PMEDAPā) has been shown to be effective producing an antiproliferative and differentiation-inducing effect in in vitro cell culture against a variety of tumor cell lines (Naessens et al., āBiochem. Pharmacol.ā 1999 Jul. 15; 58(2):311-23). However, when cpr-PMEDAP and other N6-substituted PMEDAP compounds were employed in an in vivo model of haematological malignancy of inbred Sprague-Dawley rats (Valerianova et al. āAnticancer Res.ā 2001 May-June; 21(3B):2057-64), the authors concluded that the āacyclic nucleoside phosphonates substituted at the 6-position of 2,6-diaminepurine ring do not seem to be promising drugs for the treatment of haematological malignanciesā due to āhigh toxicityā.
[0002] Various bis- and mono-amino acid amidate esters of cpr-PMEDAP (and their use as antiproliferative agents) have been disclosed. See WO 05 / 066189. WO 02 / 08241 discloses a method for screening methoxyphosphonate nucleotide analogue p...
