UnyLinker: An Efficient and Scaleable Synthesis of Oligonucleotides Utilizing a Universal Linker Molecule: A Novel Approach To Enhance the Purity of Drugs
摘要:
A novel universal linker (UnyLinker) molecule which has a conformationally rigid and chemically stable bridge head ring oxygen atom carrying a conventional 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl (DMT) and succinyl groups locked in a syn orientation has been developed to carry out oligonucleotide synthesis efficiently and smoothly. The geometry of the vicinal syn oxygen functionalized group allows fast and clean cleavage under standard aqueous ammonia deprotection conditions to afford high-quality oligonucleotides. No base modification is observed, based on the ion-pair UPLC-UV-MS (IP-HPLC-UV-MS) method with detection limit of <0.1%. A class of impurities formed by branching from the exocyclic amino group of nucleosides loaded onto a solid support has been eliminated by the use of this method. Examples demonstrating the versatile nature of this molecule are shown by syntheses of different chemistries such as 2'-deoxy, 2'-O-methyl, 2'-O-methoxyethyl, Lock nucleic acids (LNA), 2'-alpha-fluoro nucleic acids (FANA), conjugates such as 5'-phosphate monoester and biotin, and phosphate diester and phosphorothioate backbone modifications. This molecule was loaded onto several commercial solid supports and used in both gas-sparged and packed-bed automated DNA/RNA synthesizers. Large-scale syntheses (up to 700 mmol) of multiple phosphorothioate first- and second-generation antisense drugs on GE-Amersham's OligoProcess synthesizer are demonstrated further, showing that this chemistry could be used for efficient synthesis of multiple oligonucleotide drugs using a single raw material, thereby eliminating a difficult to characterize nucleoside-loaded polymer matrix used as a starting material. A mechanism for deprotection and cleavage of the linker molecule to liberate the free oligonucleotide is proposed. Characterization of the cyclic byproduct formed during release of the oligonucleotide is presented. The exo-syn configuration of the dihydroxy structure of the UnyLinker molecule is conclusively established by X-ray crystallography studies. A novel method to remove the last traces of osmium used during the synthesis of the UnyLinker molecule to reach undetectable levels (<1 ppm) is also described.

Compounds for the synthesis of oligomeric compounds, particularly oligonucleotides and chemically modified oligonucleotide analogs, are provided. In addition, methods for functionalization of a support medium with a first monomeric subunit and methods for the synthesis of oligomeric compounds utilizing the novel compounds bound to support media are provided.
rare example of rhodium-catalyzed C–H activation/[4 + 2] annulation of alkenyl amides with bicyclic alkenes under mild and green conditions. The reactivity of the rhodium catalyst in this study differed from that observed in cobalt-catalyzed C–H activation/[3 + 2] annulation between vinylic amides and bicyclic alkenes. In addition, the reaction was performed in EtOH at room temperature, which also displayed

Herein, we describe the isolation and characterization of a UnyLinker dimer which, if left uncontrolled, can become incorporated in oligonucleotide products. The dimer is formed as a result of an unusual intermolecular osmium-catalyzed etherification. We demonstrate that by simply replacing H2O2 as the co-oxidant with NMO, none of the UnyLinker dimer impurity is formed.
本文中,我们描述了UnyLinker二聚体的分离和表征,该二聚体如果不受控制,可以掺入寡核苷酸产物中。二聚体是由于异常的分子间ether催化的醚化作用而形成的。我们证明,通过简单地用NMO代替H 2 O 2作为助氧化剂,不会形成UnyLinker二聚体杂质。
