Abstract

Several 9-benzyl adenine derivatives bearing various substituted amines at the 8-position have been prepared and evaluated for interferon induction in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy human donors. The 8-bromoadenine derivative 5 was used as a versatile intermediate for all substitutions. The most active 8-substituted amino compound was found to be the 8-morpholinoethylamino derivative 19 which had an EC(50) in the submicromolar range.
