[摘要]：5'-S-(2-Aminoethyl)-6-N-(4-nitrobenzyl)-5'-thioadenosine (SAENTA), 5'-S-(2-acetamidoethyl)-6-N-[(4-substituted)benzyl]-5'-thioadenosine analogues, 5'-S-[2-(6-aminohexanamido)lethyl-6-N-(4-nitrobenzyl)-5'-thioadenosine (SAHENTA), and related compounds were synthesized by SNAr displacement of fluoride from 6-fluoropurine intermediates with 4-(substituted)benzylamines. Conjugation of the pendant amino groups of SAENTA and SAHENTA with fluorescein-5-yl isothiocyanate (FITC) gave fluorescent probes that bound at nanomolar concentrations specifically to human equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (hENT1) produced in recombinant form in model expression systems and in native form in cancer cell lines. Transporter binding effects were studied and the ability of the probes to predict the potential antitumor efficacy of 2'-deoxy-2',2'-difluorocylidine (gemcitabine) was demonstrated.
