摘要:
Phosphoramidites bearing propargyl and (N-propargylcarbamoyl)methyl groups at the Cl-position of deoxyribose were synthesized and introduced into oligonucleotides by using an automated DNA synthesizer. Copper-catalyzed alkyne-azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of the oligonucleotides with various aryl azides led to triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) possessing the corresponding aryltriazole-containing nucleobases. The triplex-forming ability of TFOs with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) was evaluated through UV-melting experiments, and it was demonstrated that m-hydroxy or m-ureido derivatives in the (1-aryltriazol-4-yl)methyl nucleobases likely interacted with a TA base pair in dsDNA.
