Oligonucleotide duplex stabilization by end-linked terpyridine x Cu(II) complexes.

چکیده
As a part of our recent studies of RNA cleavage using antisense oligonucleotide-metal complex(es) conjugates, we prepared self-complementary 2'-O-methyloligonucleotides with a terpyridine x Cu(II) complex, which was attached to the sugar portion of the 5'-end or 3'-end. The thermal stabilities of the formed duplexes, as compared with those of the unmodified 2'-O-methyl duplexes, revealed that both the 5'- and 3'-complexes greatly enhanced the duplex stability.

Highly efficient catalytic RNA cleavage by the cooperative action of two Cu(II) complexes embodied within an antisense oligonucleotide.
Based on our recent studies of RNA cleavage by oligonucleotide-terpyridine.Cu(II) complex 5'- and/or 3'-conjugates, we designed 2'-O-methyloligonucleotides with two terpyridine-attached nucleosides at contiguous internal sites. To connect the 2'-terpyridine-modified uridine residue at the 5'-side to the 5'-O-terpyridyl nucleoside residue at the 3'-side, a dimethoxytrityl derivative of 5-hydroxy...

The first crystal structure of [Cu(terpy)2](PF6 )2 , where terpy=2,2':6',2"-terpyridine is reported. Green crystals of [Cu(terpy)2](PF6 )2 were grown by ether diffusion into an acetonitrile solution of the complex. Crystal structure of this complex is tetragonal ( space group: P21c ...
متن کاملAnthracene-terpyridine metal complexes as new G-quadruplex DNA binders.
The formation of quadruple-stranded DNA induced by planar metal complexes has particular interest in the development of novel anticancer drugs. This is especially relevant for the inhibition of telomerase, which plays an essential role in cancer cell immortalization and is overexpressed in ca. 85-90% of cancer cells. Moreover, G-quadruplexes also exist in other locations in the human genome, na...
متن کاملThe effect of potential supramolecular-bond promoters on the DNA-interacting abilities of copper-terpyridine compounds.
Three copper(ii) coordination compounds have been prepared from three different 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-based ligands, which have been selected to investigate the potential role of supramolecular interactions on the DNA-interacting and cytotoxicity properties of the corresponding metal complexes. Hence, the ligands 4'-((naphthalen-2-yl)methoxy)-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine () and 4'-((1H-benzo[d]imi...
