Abstract: In view of the importance of nucleoside analogs as
enzyme inhibitors and adenosine receptor (ant)agonists, new adenosine
analogs were prepared and their activities studied on adenosine deaminase
in vitro and on A1, A2A, and
A3 receptors. Particularly useful for the synthesis of new
analogs were the applications of the Pd-catalyzed Buchwald reaction
and a radical nitration reaction of purine- and 1-deazapurine nucleosides.
