Synthesis and Incorporation into PNA of Fluorinated Olefinic PNA (F-OPA) Monomers
摘要:
[GRAPHIC]A fluorinated OPA monomer containing the base thymine ((Z)-t-F-OPA) was synthesized in 12 steps, featuring a highly selective allylic over homoallylic Mitsunobu substitution for the introduction of the nucleobase. F-OPA modified PNA decamers were prepared by the MMTr/acyl protection strategy. The thermal stability of duplexes of PNA decamers containing (2)-t-F-OPA units with antiparallel complementary DNA was measured. We found a strong dependence of stability from the sequential position of the (2)-t-F-OPA units, ranging from DeltaT(m) of +2.4 to -8.1 degreesC/modification relative to unmodified PNA.
