Abstract
Analogues of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) incorporating a methylenebisphosphonate linkage in the place of the pyrophosphate have been synthesized from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide analogues enzymatically using Aplysia californica ADP-ribosyl cyclase. Methylenebisphosphonate cyclic ADP-ribose (CADPR[CH2]) and methylenebisphosphonate cyclic 3-deaza-ADP-ribose (3-deaza-cADPR[CH2]) showed full agonist activity for release of Ca2+ ions from sea urchin egg homogenates. The EC 50 for cADPR [CH2] was 856 nM and that for 3-deaza-cADPR [CH2] was 300 nM, about 15- and 5-fold less potent than cADPR, respectively.
