The redox transformations and nucleophilic replacements as possible metabolic reactions of the drug “Triazaverin”. The chemical modeling of the metabolic processes

As a model of metabolic transformations of antiviral drug “Triazaverin” and its analogues‑2-alkylthio‑6-nitro‑1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazine‑7-ones 1a-d examined the oxidation of alkylthio groups to the corresponding sulfoxides 2a-d and sulfones 3a-d, as well as the process of nucleophilic substitution sulfonyloxy group of cysteine and cysteamine with the formation of compounds 5 and 6

Nucleophilic substitution of nitro group in nitrotriazolotriazines as a model of potential interaction with cysteine-containing proteins

[Figure not available: see fulltext.] The nucleophilic susbstitution of nitro group in [1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-c][1,2,4]triazinones upon treatment with cysteine and glutathione was studied as a model for the interaction with thiol groups of virus proteins, which mimics the metabolic transformations of antiviral drug Triazavirin® and its derivatives. © 2015 Springer Science+Business Media New York.Russian Science Foundation, RSF: 14-13-01301The study was performed with the financial support from the Russian Science Foundation (grant 14-13-01301)
