Synthesis and reversible photoisomerization of photoswitchable nucleoside, 8-styryl-2′-deoxyguanosine
摘要:
A novel guanosine derivative with a photoswitching property, 8-styryl-2'-deoxyguanosine was synthesized, and showed very rapid and efficient reversible E-Z photoisomerization upon illumination at specific wavelength. In addition, E-Z photoisomerization can be iteratively performed by alternate illumination with monochroic 254 nm and 370 nm light without any side reactions. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

prompted the continuing development of efficient synthetic methods for their preparation. We report an efficient andenvironmentally benign Sonogashiracoupling reaction for alkynylation of unprotectedhalonucleosides in an aqueoussolvent. The combination of Pd(OAc)2, CuI, and TXPTS [trisodium tri(2,4-dimethyl-5-sulfonatophenyl)phosphane] provided an effective catalyst for the alkynylation of 8-bromopurines
Design of environmentally sensitive fluorescent 2′-deoxyguanosine containing arylethynyl moieties: Distinction of thymine base by base-discriminating fluorescent (BDF) probe
We have synthesized various substituted 8-arylethynylated 2'-deoxyguanosine derivatives. Among them, acetyl substituted deoxyguanosine analogue 4c showed a remarkable solvent dependent fluorescence property, that is, an intense fluorescence in non-polar solvents but extremely weak fluorescence in polar solvents like methanol. By using solvatofluorochromic deoxyguanosine analogue 4c, we have developed highly thymine (T) selective fluorescent DNA probes that can sense T opposite 4c in a target DNA regardless of the flanking sequences. We were able to demonstrate that 4c can be used as a T specific base-discriminating fluorescent (BDF) nucleoside in homogeneous fluorescence assay. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

2'-Deoxyguanosine (G) analogues carrying various hydrophobic substituents in the N-2 and C-8 positions were synthesized and introduced through solid-phase synthesis into 15-mer oligodeoxynucleotide, GGTTGGTGTGGTTGG, which forms a chairlike structure consisting of two G-tetrads and is a potent thrombin inhibitor. The effects of the substitutions at N-2 and C-8 of the G-tetrad-forming G residues on the thrombin inhibitory activity are relatively small, suggesting that these substitutions cause relatively small, perturbations on the chairlike structure formed by the oligodeoxynucleotide. Introduction of a benzyl group into N-2 of G(6) and G(11) and naphthylmethyl groups into N-2 of G(6) increased the thrombin inhibitory activity, whereas other substituents in these positions had almost no effect or decreased the activity. Particularly, the oligodeoxynucleotide carrying a 1-naphthylmethyl group in the N-2 position of G(6) showed an increase in activity by about 60% both in vitro and in vivo. Substitutions on the N-2 position of other G residues had little effect or decreased the activity. Introduction of a relatively small group, such as methyl and propynyl, into the C-8 positions of G(1), G(5), G(10), and G(14) increased the activity, presumably due to the stabilization of a chairlike structure, whereas introduction of a large substituent group, phenylethynyl, decreased the activity, probably due to the steric hindrance.
Fluorometric detection of adenine in target DNA by exciplex formation with fluorescent 8-arylethynylated deoxyguanosine
We demonstrated an intriguing method to discriminate adenine by incident appearance of an intense new emission via exciplex formation in hybridization of target DNA with newly designed fluorescent 8-arylethynylated deoxyguanosine derivatives. We described the synthesis of such highly electron donating fluorescent guanosine derivatives and their incorporation into DNA oligomers which may be used for the structural study and the fluorometric analysis of nucleic acids.
