AI Technical Summary
Existing cordycepin derivatives have poor chemical stability, which limits their widespread application. Furthermore, they are not very effective in blocking the deamination of adenosine deaminase. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new derivatives with higher biological activity and chemical stability.
Cordycepin derivatives with specific structures were prepared by modifying the structure of cordycepin to introduce special groups such as alkoxycarbonyl, silicon, substituted benzenesulfonyl and thiol-substituted heterocycles. These derivatives were then synthesized using specific synthetic steps such as substitution reaction, amidation reaction and epoxidation reaction.
The stability and bioactivity of cordycepin derivatives were improved, enhancing their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antitumor effects. They also exhibited selective antibacterial activity against certain beneficial bacterial strains, expanding their application scope.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedicine, and in particular to a cordycepin derivative, its preparation method, and its uses. Background Technology
[0002] Nucleoside analogues exert their therapeutic effects by blocking the growth of RNA or DNA chains. Cordycepin is the first nucleoside antibiotic isolated from fungi, possessing a variety of pharmacological activities, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, immunomodulatory, and hyperlipidemia prevention. Cordycepin and its derivatives have received widespread attention and exploration in the biomedical field, but the types of cordycepin derivatives developed so far are relatively limited. Furthermore, due to their specific structures, cordycepin and its derivatives exhibit poor chemical stability, hindering their widespread application. Wei et al. synthesized N-acyl cordycepin derivatives that can protect their amino groups and enhance their biological activity; Shimada et al. reported that replacing the hydrogen at the 4' position with fluorine can delay its metabolism and reduce its cytotoxicity. Currently, the types of cordycepin derivatives obtained are limited, and while adding certain side groups to cordycepin can delay deamination, it still cannot completely block the deamination of adenosine deaminase (ADA enzyme). Therefore, it is still necessary to develop cordycepin derivatives with higher biological activity and chemical stability. Summary of the Invention

[0078]
[0079] The preparation method of compound 3 (2',3'-deoxynucleosides) is based on non-patent literature 1 "Hansske F, Robins MJ. Regiospecific and stereoselective conversion of ribonucleosides to 3′-deoxynucleosides. A high yield three-stage synthesis of cordycepin from adenosine. [J]. Tetrahedron Letters, 1985, 26(36): 4295-4298, DOI: 10.1016 / S0040-4039(00)98716-1", the specific process is as follows:

European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences 187(2023):106466,” discloses cordycepin derivative 1b and cordycepin derivative 1d, with the following structures:
[0138]
[0139] In vitro antibacterial activity of cordycepin derivatives 1b and 1d:
[0140]
[0141] As can be seen from the table above, the cordycepin derivatives S1-1, S2-3, and S2-4 in this invention exhibit good antibacterial activity at the maximum tested concentration. Some cordycepin derivatives, such as S1-1, show increased inhibitory activity against pathogenic bacteria while exhibiting selectivity for beneficial bacteria. Cordycepin derivatives 1b and 1d in Reference 1 require concentrations of 512 and 1024 μg / mL, respectively, to inhibit bacterial growth and fail to kill bacteria. In comparison, compounds S2-4, S2-3, S3-1, and S3-2 in this application all show significant bactericidal effects at a concentration of 300 μg / mL. S2-4 achieves a 65% bactericidal rate against Staphylococcus aureus, and compounds S1-1, S1-2, and S3 exhibit stronger antibacterial effects at higher concentrations.
[0142] Furthermore, the cordycepin derivatives in this application have antibacterial effects against certain pathogenic bacteria comparable to antibiotics, while being more favorable to probiotics.
[0143] Example 12 Evaluation of the inhibitory effect on tumor cells:
[0144] In this embodiment, the CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell viability. Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were aspirated from the culture medium, digested with trypsin, and the culture medium was added to stop the growth. Cells were gently pipetted, counted, and seeded at a density of 2500 cells / well (100 μL). After overnight adhesion, the supernatant was discarded, and fresh culture medium containing a specific concentration of the compound was added. Two replicates were set up, with each concentration added to the corresponding well. Cells were incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 72 hours. Afterward, the supernatant was discarded, and a 10:1 mixture of fresh culture medium and CCK-8 was added. After incubation at 37°C for approximately 2 hours, the absorbance at 450 nm (L1) was measured using a Thermo K3, with a reference wavelength of 630 nm (L2). The relative cell viability was calculated by subtracting L1 from L2, thus determining the effect of the compound on the cells. The results are shown in Table 4. Cordycepin (1) and compound (S2-3) have certain inhibitory effects on cancer cells K562 (human chronic myeloid leukemia cells) and MGC-803 (gastric cancer cell line). The half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (WMCs) of cordycepin (1) against K562 and MGC-803 were 37.32 μM and 16.10 μM, respectively, and the WMCs of S2-3 against K562 and MGC-803 were 42.21 μM and 27.79 μM, respectively.

[0147] Example 13 Antioxidant performance evaluation:
[0148] This embodiment tested the antioxidant activity of the above derivatives. The specific procedure was as follows: 1,1-diphenyl-2-trinitrophenylhydrazine (DPPH) solution (0.3 mmol / L, maximum absorption wavelength around 517 nm) was used as the substrate, and four groups were formed: a positive control group, a negative control group, a sample group, and a sample control group. The positive control group consisted of 160 μL of vitamin C solution and 40 μL of DPPH; the negative control group A consisted of 160 μL of methanol and 40 μL of DPPH; and the sample group consisted of 160 μL of the compound solution and 40 μL of DPPH. A multi-functional microplate reader was used, with the wavelength set to 517 nm, and measurements were performed in triplicate. The test results are shown in Table 5, where the free radical scavenging rate of compound (S3-2) as a function of concentration is shown in the graph. Figure 3 As shown.

[0152] Example 14 Stability Evaluation
[0153] This embodiment tested the stability of the above-mentioned cordycepin derivatives. The test procedure was as follows: 0.007 mmol of the test drug was weighed and dissolved in 40 μL of DMSO, and diluted to 10 mL with phosphate buffer solution at pH 7.4. At least 0.5 mL of the solution was then transferred to a centrifuge tube. 1 mg of adenosine deaminase (64.8 U) was weighed and dissolved in 10 mL of PBS solution at pH 7.4. 1 mL of this solution was diluted to 10 mL, and 50 μL of this solution was added to a centrifuge tube containing 0.5 mL of the test drug, and diluted to 9 mL. The experiment was conducted on a UV analyzer. In the presence of 3.5 mU / mL adenosine deaminase, the absorption spectrum was scanned every 15 min at a resolution of 2 nm in the 230–300 nm range for 6–7 h.
[0154] Tables 6-8 show the transformation of cordycepin (1), cordycepin derivative S1-1, and cordycepin derivative S2-3 over time under the action of adenosine deaminase (ADA enzyme):
