چکیده

Four stereoisomers of oxy-peptide nucleic acids containing ether linkages in the main chain and conformationally-restricted pyrrolidine rings (pyrrolidine-based oxy-PNA = POPNA) were newly synthesized and investigated for binding to DNA. cis-l-POPNA with 9 adenine bases formed the most stable hybrid with dT(9). The POPNA showed high sequence specificity similar to that of the Nielsen-type PNA and sharper melting behavior in hybridization with DNA than the Nielsen-type PNA.

Thermodynamic analysis of hybridization between POPNA and DNA.

We have developed a new series of oxy-peptide nucleic acids with pyrrolidine rings of four different types of structural isomers (cis L, cis D, trans L, trans D configurations; POPNAs). Melting curves of adenine nanomers of POPNAs in the presence of the complementary DNA showed the highest Tm value for cis L-POPNA, but in the case of RNA, the highest Tm value was observed for trans L-POPNA. The...

Cellular Morphology and Immunologic Properties of Escherichia coli Treated With Antimicrobial Antisense Peptide Nucleic Acid

  Background & Objectives: Antisense peptide nucleic acids (PNA) that target growth essential genes show potent bactericidal properties without cell lysis. We considered the possibility that whether PNA treatment influence the bacteria total nucleic acids content and apply approach to develop a new delivery system to Dendritic cells (DCs). DCs are the most potent antigen presenting cells in th...

Antisense effect of pyrrolidine-based oxy-peptide nucleic acids in Escherichia coli.

To investigate the antisense effect of a pyrrolidine-based oxy-peptide nucleic acid (POPNA), we carried out the LacZ reporter assay using a 12-mer trans-l-POPNA conjugated with a cell-penetrating peptide (antisense reagent). The antisense effect of the conjugated POPNA (inhibition of LacZ activity) was comparable to that shown by a Nielsen-type peptide nucleic acid. Furthermore, the conjugated ...

(2R,4R)-1-(tert-But­oxy­carbon­yl)-4-meth­oxy­pyrrolidine-2-carb­oxy­lic acid

In the title compound, C(11)H(19)NO(5), the five-membered pyrrolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation. The dihedral angles between the carboxyl group plane, the pyrrolidine ring and the meth-oxy group are 59.50 (3) and 62.02 (1)°, respectively. In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along [100]. The absolute configuration is assigned in accord ...
