Solid-Phase Synthesis of Thermolytic DNA Oligonucleotides Functionalized with a Single 4-Hydroxy-1-butyl or 4-Phosphato-/Thiophosphato-1-butyl Thiophosphate Protecting Group
摘要:
Several thermolytic CpG-containing DNA oligonucleotides analogous to 1 have been synthesized to serve as potential immunotherapeutic oligonucleotide prodrug formulations for the treatment of infectious diseases in animal models. Specifically, the CpG motif (GACGTT) of each DNA oligonucleotide has been functionalized with either the thermolabile 4-hydroxy-1-butyl or the 4-phosphato-/thiophosphato-1-butyl thiophosphate protecting group. This functionalization was achieved through incorporation of activated deoxyribonucleoside phosphoramidite 8b into the oligonucleotide chain during solid-phase synthesis and, optionally, through subsequent phosphorylation effected by phosphoramidite 9. Complete conversion of CpG ODNs hbu1555, psb1555, and pob1555 to CpG ODN 1555 (homologous to 2) occurred under elevated temperature conditions, thereby validating the function of these diastereomeric oligonucleotides as prodrugs in vitro. Noteworthy is the significant increase in solubility of CpG ODN psb1555 and CpG pob1555 in water when compared to that of neutral CpG ODN fma1555 (homologous to 1).

The invention features polynucleotide constructs containing one or more components (i) containing a disulfide linkage, where each of the one or more components is attached to an internudeotide bridging group or a terminal group of the polynucleotide construct, and each of the one or more components (i) contains one or more bulky groups proximal to the disulfide group. The invention also features polynucleotide constructs containing one or more components (i) containing a disulfide linkage, where each of the one or more components (i) is attached to an internudeotide bridging group or a terminal group of the polynucleotide construct, and each of the one or more components (i) contains at least 4 atoms in a chain between the disulfide linkage and the phosphorus atom of the internudeotide bridging group or the terminal group; and where the chain does not contain a phosphate, an amide, an ester, or an alkenylene. The invention also features methods of delivering a polynucleotide to a cell using the polynucleotide constructs of the invention.

Conjugates of a cargo molecule with a transporter molecule are disclosed, where the cargo molecule and the transporter molecule are linked covalently by a releasable linker. The cargo of the conjugate can be a biologically active agent or a reporter molecule. The transporter modulates the transport of the cargo across a biological barrier (e.g., a cell membrane) compared to the transport of the unconjugated cargo. Releasable linkers suitable for rapid and facile conjugation to various types of cargo and transporters are also disclosed, along with methods for using the linkers in the synthesis of conjugates.

The design, synthesis, and evaluation of conjugates of arginine-rich transporters and luciferin are described that release luciferin only after entry into cells that are stably transfected with luciferase. Each molecule of free luciferin that is released after entry generates a photon that can be measured allowing for real-time quantification of uptake and release in cells. The process provides a method to assay uptake and release of free luciferin as a function of variations in the releasable linker and in the transporter.
