NOVEL CLASS OF DNA BINDING MOTIFS BASED ON BISTETRAHYDROFURAN AND BISFURAN SKELETON WITH LONG ALKYL CHAINS
摘要:
Small molecules with DNA-binding affinity within the minor groove have become of great interest. In this paper, new DNA binding molecules; diamino-bistetrahydrofuran (bisTHF) and diamino-bisfuran are reported. The bisTHF ligand with RR configuration at the amino groups and C8 alkyl chains (RR8) stabilized GC-rich duplex. In contrast, bisfuran compounds stabilized AT-rich duplex. The binding affinity of RR8 with 12 mer duplex DNA was determined by isothermal titration calorimetry to be 3.3 x 10(8) M-1.
Novel acyclic ligands for metal cations based on the adjacent bistetrahydrofuran as analogs of natural Annonaceous acetogenins
摘要:
The acyclic ligands with an adjacent bistetrahydrofuran (THF) skeleton have been synthesized as analogs of bullatacin, a representative natural product in a family of Annonaceous acetogenins, and their binding properties toward metal cations have been investigated. The dihydroxyl bis-THF ligands with alkyl chains showed specific binding toward Ca2+, and those with acetamido groups exhibited potent binding with Ca2+ and Mg2+. The ligand with ether chains showed higher affinity toward Mg2+. These binding properties which depend on the nature of side chains and their stereochemistry have been analyzed by molecular modeling.

Double asymmetric [3 + 2]-annulation reactions of chiral β-silyloxyallylsilanes with chiral 2-tetrahydrofuranyl carboxaldehydes have been studied, leading to the stereocontrolled synthesis of six diastereomeric bis-tetrahydrofuran structures corresponding to the core subunits of members of the Annonaceous acetogenin family of natural products. Transition-state models are proposed to account for the
