The present inventlon relates to derivatives of 4-oxo-3H,5H-pyrrolo[3,2~d]pyrimidine. In particular, it rela~es to 4-oxo-3H,5H-pyrrolo[3,2-dJpyrimidinederi~ativessubstitutedatthe 7-position.
Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) catalyzes the phosphorolysis of purine nuoleosides in a reversible reaction.
Individuals who are deficient in PNP exhibit impaired T-c~ll development, resulting in lowered cell-mediated immunity, but normal ~-cell de~elopment, resulting in normal humoral immunity.
Accordingly, specific inhibitors of PNP that selectively inhibit T-cell development without damaging humoral immunity could be potentially effective against disorders in which activated T-cel-s are pathogenic.
Accordingly, the present invention is a compound of the formula HN

As will be apparent to the skilled artisan, variations of the aforesaid procedures are useful in making the variety of compounds of th~ present in~ention without departing frcm 'he spirit thereof. For example, compounds having different values for "n" and "~" in accordance with the present invention are obtained by either stepping up or stepping down the series by.the necessary number of carbon atoms in accoxdance with known procedures. Also, reactions involving some intermediates require protection of nitrogen or oxygen atoms on the intermediates using known procedures.
The present invention provides a method of inhibiting purine nucleoside phosphorylase activity in mammals and treating diseases and conditions responsive thereto, e.g., autoimmune disorders, rejection of transplantation, or psoriasis, which comprises administaring to a mammal in need thereof an effective amount of a compound of the in~ention or of a pharmaceutical ~ composition comprising a said compound in combination with one .~ or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers.
A ~urther aspect of the invention relates to a method of ~: inhibiting the phosphorolysis and metabolic breakdown of 2S anti~iral or antitumor purine nucleosides ~n mammals which compris~s administering in conjunction therewith to a mammal in need thereof, either separately or in combination therewith, an :~ effecti~e purine nucleoside phosphorylase inhi~iting amount of ~: a compound of the invention or of a said compound in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acc~ptable carriers. M~re particularly,j such relates to a ~ethod o~ inhibiting Ithe phosphorolysis and metabolic breakdown of purine nucleosides known in the art, e.~, of 2' deoxyguanosine, 2',3'-~id~oxyinosine, 2',3'-dideoxyguano~ine or 2',3'-dideoxyadenosine.

. phosphorylase inhibiting amount of a compound of the invention preferably in combination wit~ one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. More particularly, such relates to a method of enhancing or potentiating the effect of 2',3'-dideoxypurine nucleosides known in the art, e.g., of 2',3'~dideoxyinosine, 2',3'~dideoxyguanosine or 2'-3'-dideoxyadenosine for the treatment of retrovirus infections, eOg., HIV-retrovirus infections (ac~uired immunode~iciency syn~rome, AI~S). 2',3'-Dideox~purine nucleosides are kn~wn in the art as inhibitors of HIV retrovirus infectivity and to be metaboli~ally degraded by PNP, e.g., as described in Biochem~cal Pharmacoloqy 22, 3797 (1987). Such are administered at a pharmaceutically acceptable dose which is effective in i~hibiting HIV-retro~irus infections.
Preferably the lowest possible effective dose is used.
The pharmaceutically acceptable ef~ective dosage of active compound ~f the invention to be administered is dependent on the species of warm-blooded animal (mammal), the b~dy weight, age and individual condition, and on ~he fo~m of administration.
The pharmaceutical composition may be aral, parenteral~
suppository or ~ther form which delivers the compound of the present invention into the bloodstream of a mammal to be treated.
An oral ~orm has from about 1 to about 150 mg of the compound of the pr~sent invention for an adult (50 to 70 kg) which is mixed together with pharmaceutically acceptable diluents such as lactose. In a typ~cal capsule, 25 mg of the compound of the present invention is mixed together with 192 m~ lactose, 80 mg modified 5tarch and 3 mg magnesium stearate. Injectable forms of the compound are also contemplated for administratio~. ~
'The present invention is also useful with other therapeutic : agents. A daily dosage of the compound of the present invention for a human weighing 50 to 70 kg of l-~0 mg/kg inhibits meta~olic 3S d~struction of certain anticancer agents such as ~-2'-deoxy-6-thio~uanosine and anti~iral agents such as 2'j3'-dideoxyinosine, an anti-AIDS drug.
