Pyrophosphoryl derivatives of 1-(2-deoxy-3-O-phosphono-methyl-beta- and -alpha-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)thymine: synthesis and substrate properties towards some DNA polymerases.

The synthesis of 1-(2-deoxy-3-O-phosphonomethyl-beta-D-erythropentofuranosyl)thymine (17) and its alpha-anomer 18 is described. Attempts to prepare 1-[2-deoxy-3-O-(pyrophosphoryl)phosphonomethyl-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl]thymine (19) by an activation of the respective phosphonate 17 with 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (Im2CO) resulted in the quantitative formation of the corresponding pyrophosphonate derivative 21 (Scheme 2). Activation of inorganic pyrophosphate with Im2CO followed by the condensation with the phosphonates 17 and 18 afforded the desired analogues of nucleoside triphosphate 19 (35%) and its alpha-anomer 20 (27%) along with the respective pyrophosphonate derivatives 21 (37%) and 24 (38%) (Scheme 3). It was found that compounds 19 and 20 display (i) no substrate properties toward calf thymus terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TDT) and AMV reverse transcriptase, and (ii) moderate substrate activity with E. coli DNA polymerase I (Klenow fragment).

Cyclohexene nucleic acids (CeNA) form stable duplexes with RNA and induce RNase H activity.

Cyclohexene nucleic acids (CeNA) were synthesized using classical phosporamidite chemistry. Incorporation of a cyclohexene nucleo-side in a DNA chain leads to an increase in stability of the DNA/RNA duplex. CeNA is stable against degradation in serum. A CeNA/RNA hybrid is able to activate E. Coli RNase H. resulting in cleavage of the RNA strand.

Oligonucleotides incorporating 7-(aminoalkyn-1-yl)-7-deaza-2'-deoxyguanosines: duplex stability and phosphodiester hydrolysis by exonucleases.

Self-complementary [[5'-d(G-C)4]2] and non-selfcomplementary oligonucleotides [5'-d(TAG GTC AAT ACT) x 3'-d(ATC CAG TTA TGA)] containing 7-(omega-aminoalkyn-1-yl)-7-deaza-2'-deoxyguanosines (1a-c) (1) and 7-deaza-2'-deoxyguanosine instead of dG were studied regarding their thermal stability as well as their phosphodiester hydrolysis by either 3' --> 5'- or 5' --> 3'-phosphodiesterase studied by MALDI-TOF MS.
