Synthesis and Properties of 2‘-Deoxy-2‘-α-C-branched Nucleosides and Nucleotides
摘要:
Four functionalized 2'-deoxy-2'-alpha-C-branched nucleosides, namely, 2'-deoxy-2'-alpha-C-(carboxymethyl)-uridine, 2'-deoxy-2'-alpha-acetamidouridine, 2'-deoxy-2'-alpha-C-(hydroxyethyl)uridine, and 2'-deoxy-2'-alpha-C-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)uridine, have been prepared. Conversion of these nucleosides to their appropriately protected phosphoramidites, followed by tetrazole-induced reaction with 2',3'-di-O-acetyluridine, oxidation, and subsequent deprotection furnished the corresponding dinucleoside monophosphates. During the oxidation of the amide-derived phosphite, partial dehydration occurred to give a mixture of the amide- and nitrile-containing dimers. Interestingly, the ratio of amide to nitrile could be largely controlled by choice of oxidant. The hydroxyethyl- and dihydroxypropyl-modified dimers were particularly resistant to snake venom phosphodiesterase-catalyzed hydrolysis (relative half-lives of 129 and 120, respectively, in comparison to UpU). It is anticipated that these nucleoside analogues will ultimately be used in the construction of ribozymes containing enhanced functionality and nuclease resistance.

The comparative rates of acid-catalysed removal of ten 1-aryl-4-methoxypiperidin-4-yl 8 (RÂ =Â Me) [including the previously reported Ctmp 5 and Fpmp 6] protecting groups for the 2â²-hydroxy functions in oligoribonucleotide synthesis are discussed. These studies have led to the development of the 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-ethoxypiperidin-4-yl (Cpep) protecting group 8 (RÂ =Â Et, R1Â =Â R2Â =Â H, R3Â =Â Cl) which is both more stable than the Ctmp and Fpmp groups at pH 0.5 and more labile at pH 3.75. The influence of the ribonucleoside aglycone on the stability of the 2â²-O-Fpmp and 2â²-O-Ctmp protecting groups both at low and high pH is examined.

3′-Thiouridylyl-(3′→5′)-uridine [(Us)pU] 3 is prepared by coupling together the disulfide 14 and the 5′-H-phosphonate 18, and then removing the protecting groups. (Us)pU 3 readily undergoes cleavage in 0.05 mol dm−3 sodium glycinate buffer (pH 10.06) at 50 °C to give, in the first instance, uridine 4 and 3′-thiouridine 2′,3′-cyclic phosphorothioate 21; in glacial acetic acid at 30 °C, it rapidly undergoes

the use of building blocks in which two acid-labile groups, 1-(2-fluorophenyl)-4-methoxypiperidin-4-yl (Fpmp) and 9-phenylxanthen-9-yl (Px), respectively, are used to protect the 2′- and 5′-hydroxy functions of ribonucleoside building blocks. The adenine, cytosine and guanine base residues are protected with pivaloyl, benzoyl and phenylacetyl groups, respectively. 2-Cyanoethyl N,N-diisopropylphosphoramidites

acidity constants of the protonated dinucleotide H2(pUpU)-, as well as the binding properties of pUpU3- towards Mg2+, Mn2+, Cd2+, Zn2+, and Pb2+. Whereas Mg2+, Mn2+, and Cd2+ only bind to the more basic 5'-terminal phosphate group, Pb2+, and to a certain extent also Zn2+, show a remarkably enhanced stability of the [M(pUpU)]- complex. This can be attributed to the formation of a macrochelate by bridging

formation of 10-membered chelates involving the terminal oxygen or sulfur atoms of the (thio)phosphate bridge is possible with both ligands. The results show that Mg(2+) and Mn(2+) exist as open (op) isomers binding to both dinucleotides only at the terminal phosphate group. Whereas Cd(pUpU)(-) only exists as Cd(pUpU)(-)(op), Cd(pUp((S))U)(-) is present to about 64 % as the S-coordinated macrochelate,
