Synthesis of New Purine Derivatives Containing α- and ω-Amino Acid Fragments

New conjugates of purine and 2-aminopurine with several α- and ω-amino acids have been synthesized following two approaches based on the condensation and nucleophilic substitution reactions. The enantiomeric purity of the isolated compounds has been confirmed by reversed-phase HPLC using a chiral stationary phase to demonstrate the absence of racemization during the synthesis. The conjugates are inactive against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv.
