Synthesis and Properties of Nonpolar DNA (Arylalkyl)phosphonates
摘要:
The eight (arylalkyl)-modified phosphoramidites (=(arylalkyl)phosphonamidites) 1-8 (Fig. 2) were synthesized (Schemes 1-3) and incorporated at different positions into 2'-deoxyoligonucleotides. The [P(R)]and [P(S)]-diastereoisomers of the hexanucleotides 32-39 (Table 1) and of the dodecanucleotides 41-45 (Table 2) obtained were separated by means of reversed-phase HPLC. UV, CD, and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to investigate the thermal stability (T-m) and the structural changes of their DNA duplexes with 5'-d(CGCGCG)-3' and 5'-d(ATGATTGACCTG)-3', respectively. The T-m values significantly depend on the place of modification (Table 2). A dangling-end effect is observed when the [3-(anthracen-9-yl)propyl]-modified 8 is attached at the 5'-terminus (see duplex with 45c). In the case of the incorporation of aromatic moieties tethered via a methylene linker to the P-atom (benzyl- and (naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)-modified 1 and 6, resp.), the duplexes with the [P(R)]-oligonucleotides are more stable than those with the [P(S)]-isomers, whereas in the case of longer alkyl chains at the P-atom (see 2-5), the T-m values show the reverse tendency. The observed T-m differences are assigned to changes in base stacking (Figs. 6 and 7).

A process is provided for preparing phosphonyloxyacylamino acids and derivatives thereof having the structure
wherein
which includes the steps of treating a phosphonic acid dichloride of the structure
with an a-hydroxy acid of the structure
in the presence of base such as triethylamine at reduced temperatures to form the cyclic mixed anhydride of the structure
(which is a new intermediate) and reacting the cyclic mixed anhydride with an amino acid or ester of the structure
HX
in the presence of base such as triethylamine produces the ACE inhibitor compound
In an alternative process, the cyclic anhydride is quenched with water to form the diacid
which is treated with a condensing agent such as dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (DCC), 1,1-carbonytdiimidazole (CDI) or thionyl chloride followed by quenching with the amino acid
HX
produces the above ACE inhibitor compound.
In another variation of the process of the invention, the above cyclic anhydride is treated with an alcohol of the structure
R30H
to form the phosphonic acid diester
which may be coupled with the amino acid or ester
HX
to form the ACE inhibitor
