Phosphoryl Guanidines: A New Type of Nucleic Acid Analogues
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new type of nucleic acid analogues with a phosphoryl guanidine group is described. Oxidation of polymer-supported dinucleoside 2-cyanoethyl phosphite by iodine in the presence of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl guanidine yields a dinucleotide with an internucleoside tetramethyl phosphoryl guanidine (Tmg) group as the main product. The Tmg group is stable under conditions of solid-phase DNA synthesis and subsequent cleavage and deprotection with ammonia. Oligonucleotides with one or more Tmg groups bind their complementary DNA or RNA with affinity similar to that of natural oligodeoxyribonucleotides.

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...
متن کاملA New Remote Subsite in Ribonuclease A * ( Received for publication
The interaction between bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (RNase A) and its RNA substrate extends beyond the scissile bond. Enzymic subsites interact with the bases and the phosphoryl groups of a bound substrate. We evaluated the four cationic residues closest to known subsites for their abilities to interact with a bound nucleic acid. Lys-37, Arg-39, Arg-85, and Lys-104 were replaced individual...

DL-1-(2,3-Dihydroxypropyl)thymine was prepared by Hilbert-Johnson reaction of 2,4-dinethoxy-5-methylpyrimidine with allyl bromide followed by the osmium tetroxide catalyzed hydroxylation of the l-allyl-4-methoxy-5-methylpyrimidin-2-one obtained as an intermediate. The D-glycero enantiomer, R-1-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl)thymine and the corresponding 1-substituted uracil derivative were prepared from ...

Analogues of nucleic acid precursors were screened for antimalarial activity in Plasmodium knowlesi by using an in vitro culture system. Activity was assessed by the degree of inhibition of incorporation of l-[methyl-(14)C]methionine into protein and of [8-(14)C]adenosine and [6-(14)C]orotic acid into ribonucleic acid and deoxyribonucleic acid. The incorporation of adenosine or orotic acid was ...
متن کاملTwo carbocyclic locked nucleic acid analogues give structural information about the role of hydration in A-type duplexes.
Two locked nucleic acid (LNA) analogues with three-carbon 2'-4' linkages, saturated or unsaturated, are synthesized using a ring-closing metathesis based strategy. Strongly stabilized duplexes with complementary RNA and slightly destabilized duplexes with complementary DNA are observed. CD-spectroscopy indicates a less pronounced shift toward A-type duplexes compared to LNA. These results combi...
