Abstract

7-Hydroxyguanine, an antitumor purine-analog, reacted with ribose (or deoxyribose)-1-phosphate in the presence of purine nucleoside phosphorylase. We prepared 7-hydroxyguanine riboside and deoxyriboside using purine nucleoside phosphorylase from bovine spleen. Each nucleoside exhibits antitumor activity against mouse leukemia L1210 cells. The therapeutic effect of 7-hydroxyguanine deoxyriboside is superior to those of 7-hydroxyguanine and 7-hydroxyguanine riboside.
