modified nucleobases in order to further improve their fluorescence response, increase their aqueous solubility and stabilize hybrids formed with complementary nucleicacids. As an example of this work, we have synthesized the 5-((9 H-fluoren-2-yl)ethynyl)uracil PNA monomer that will be incorporated into oligomers using Fmoc-based chemistry. Initial evaluation of the fluorescence of the 5-((9 H-flu
The K562 cell line has been proposed as a useful experimental system to identify anti-tumor compounds acting by inducing terminal erythroid differentiation. K562 cells exhibit a low proportion of hemoglobin-synthesizing cells under standard cell growth conditions, but are able to undergo terminal erythroid differentiation when treated with a variety of anti-tumor compounds. In this paper we report a screening study on a set of different modified C(5) uracil derivatives for the evaluation of their antiproliferative effect in connection with erythroid differentiation pathways, and for defining a new class of drug candidates for the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia. Activity of the derivatives tested can be classified in two effect: an antiproliferative effect linked to a high level of erythroid differentiation activity and an antiproliferative effect without activation of gamma globin genes The highest antiproliferative effect and erythroid induction was shown by compound 9, a thymine derivative bearing a n-octyl chain on nitrogen N(1), whereas thymine did not show any effect, suggesting the importance of the linear alkyl chain in position N(1). To our knowledge this compound should be considered among the most efficient inducers of erythroid differentiation of K562 cells. This work is the starting point for the quest of more effective and specific drugs for the induction of terminal erythroid differentiation, for leading new insights in the treatment of neoplastic diseases with molecules acting by inducing differentiation rather than by simply exerting cytotoxic effects.

Rigid amphipathic fusion inhibitors (RAFIs) are potent antivirals based on a perylene core linked with a nucleoside moiety. Sugar-free analogues of RAFIs, 5-(perylen-3-ylethynyl)uracil-1-acetic acid 1 and its amides 2, were synthesized using combined protection group strategy. Compounds 1 and 2 appeared to have low toxicity on porcine embryo kidney (PEK) or rhabdomiosarcoma (RD) cells together with remarkable activity against enveloped tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV): EC50 values vary from 0.077 mu M to subnanomolar range. Surprisingly, 3-pivaloyloxymethyl (Pom) protected precursors 7 and 8 showed even more pronounced activity. All the compounds showed no activity against several non enveloped enteroviruses, except 4-hydroxybutylamides 2d,g, which inhibited the reproduction of enterovirus A71 with EC50 50-100 mu M, with a non-specific mode of action. The results suggest that the carbohydrate moiety of RAFI nucleosides does not play a crucial role in their antiviral action, and biological activity of the 5-(perylen-3-ylethynyl)uracil scaffold can be effectively modulated by substituents in positions 1 and 3. The high antiviral activity of these new compounds, coupled with low toxicity advocate their potential role in antiviral therapy. (C) 2019 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

5-omega-Aminopropyl-uracil bearing PNA monomers are synthesized for solid phase oligomer synthesis using FMOC protection. Several PNA oligomers with differing amounts of aminopropyluracil modification were prepared. These oligomers were found to associate with complementary DNA oligonucleotides. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Synthesis of Fluorine-Labeled Peptide Nucleic Acid Building Blocks as Sensors for the <sup>19</sup>F NMR Spectroscopic Detection of Different Hybridization Modes
Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) building blocks, bearing a fluorine sensor at C-5 of the uracil base [viz. trifluoromethyl and 3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)-4,4,4-trifluorobut-1-ynyl], were synthesized and incorporated to a PNA strand, and their applicability for the monitoring of different hybridization modes by F-19 NMR spectroscopy was studied. Both sensors gave unique F-19 resonance shifts in NMR when the PNA was targeted to a complementary antiparallel DNA, antiparallel RNA, parallel DNA, and parallel RNA. The 5-trifluoromethyl-derived sensor was additionally applied for the monitoring of interconversions from a parallel DNA/PNA complex to an antiparallel RNA/PNA complex and from a PNA/PNA complex to two DNA/PNA complexes (i.e., double-duplex invasion).
