Conjugate of neamine and 2-deoxystreptamine mimic connected by an amide bond
摘要:
An amino-functionalized 2-deoxystreptamine (2-DOS) mimic was conjugated by an amide bond to a neamine moiety containing a carboxylic acid in ring II. A library of A-site RNA and its mutants was prepared to examine RNA binding characteristics of the additional 2-DOS moiety attached to neamine. The 2-DOS mimic conjugated to the neamine increased binding affinity up to 200-folds compared to that of neamine. The conjugate binds to native A-site RNA and its mutants with up to 6-fold difference in sequence selectivity. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Synthesis of 2,4,5-triaminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid as a novel 2-deoxystreptamine mimic
摘要:
Since aminoglycosides have been known to exert their antibacterial activities by binding to various RNA targets, 2-deoxystreptamine served as a particularly important model in understanding RNA-small molecule interaction. Herein, 2,4,5-triaminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid was prepared as a novel 2-deoxystreptamine (2-DOS) mimic, which replaces highly flexible glycosidic bonds of aminoglycosides with amide bonds and may improve binding selectivity toward RNA targets through increased rigidity and additional hydrogen-bonding capability. This unnatural g-amino acid can also be used as a potential component for synthetic foldamers. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
