چکیده
We compare the duplex stabilizing properties of 2'-fluorinated nucleic acid analogues with furanose and non-furanose ring systems and dissect the relative contributions of hydration, sugar conformation, and fluorine configuration toward the overall T(m) value. We find that the stabilization imparted by fluorine substitution is additive over that obtained by restricting the conformation of the sugar ring itself. Our studies support further evaluation of fluorinated nucleic acid analogues with non-furanose sugar rings as surrogates of 2'-F RNA for therapeutic antisense applications.

Sugar nucleotide recognition by Klebsiella pneumoniae UDP-D-galactopyranose mutase: fluorinated substrates, kinetics and equilibria.
A series of selectively fluorinated and other substituted UDP-D-galactose derivatives have been evaluated as substrates for Klebsiella pneumoniae UDP-D-galactopyranose mutase. This enzyme, which catalyses the interconversion of the pyranose and furanose forms of galactose as its UDP adduct, is a prospective drug target for a variety of microbial infections. We show that none of the 2''-, 3''- o...
متن کاملConformational analysis of nucleic acid molecules with flexible furanose rings in dihedral angle space
The computational algorithm that works in the coordinate space of dihedral angles (i.e., bond lengths and bond angles are kept fixed and only rotatable dihedral angles are treated as independent variables) is extended to deal with the pseudorotational motion of furanose rings by introducing a variable of pseudorotation. Then, this algorithm is applied to a distance geometry calculation that gen...
متن کاملExtreme Conformational Flexibilitv of the Furanose
Consistent force field caiculations have been used to calculate the variation of energy along the pseudorotationai paths of ribose and deoxyribose rings. This energy changes by only 10.5 kcalimol as the ring pucker changes from C3’-endo to C2’-endo. Therefore, the torsion angle 4’ of the sugar-phosphate backbone of nucleic acids is more flexible than a normal C-C single-bond torsion angle and c...
متن کاملRecent advances on the enantioselective synthesis of C-nucleosides inhibitors of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH).
This review will describe the recent advances in the synthesis of C-nucleosides with inhibitory activity of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of guanine nucleotides. The review will cover synthetic approaches of structural analogues showing modifications in the furanose ring as well as in the heterocyclic base. Heterocyclic sugar nucleoside analogues ...
متن کاملBinding of non-natural 3'-nucleotides to ribonuclease A.
2'-Fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine 3'-phosphate (dU(F)MP) and arabinouridine 3'-phosphate (araUMP) have non-natural furanose rings. dU(F)MP and araUMP were prepared by chemical synthesis and found to have three- to sevenfold higher affinity than uridine 3'-phosphate (3'-UMP) or 2'-deoxyuridine 3'-phosphate (dUMP) for ribonuclease A (RNase A). These differences probably arise (in part) from the phosphory...
