Abstract
Deamination of an anti-human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV) carbocyclic adenine nucleoside, 9-[c-4, t-5-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclopent-2-en-r-l-yl]-9H-adenine (BCA) by adenosine deaminase under a variety of pressures (1 bar—6 kbar) was investigated. It was found that, while (+)-BCA was practically unaffected, the deamination of (-)-BCA was remarkably enhanced under 4 kbar to give the corresponding (-)-hypoxanthine derivative [(-)-BCH)] in nearly 100% ee.
