2,6-Bis(functionalized) purines as metal-ion-binding surrogate nucleobases that enhance hybridization with unmodified 2′-O-methyl oligoribonucleotides

Abstract: The capacity of three different purine bases, viz. 2,6-bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)purine, 2-(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)adenine and 2,6-bis(2-acetyl-1-methylhydrazino)purine, to form metal-ion mediated base pairs with the native nucleobases has been examined. For this purpose, ribonucleosides derived from these bases were incorporated into an intrastrand or a 3'-terminal position of short 2'-O-methyl oligoribonucleotides and the hybridization properties of these base modified oligomers in the absence and prese… Show more

“…To verify the hydrolytic stability of the modified oligonucleotides under conditions of the T m studies, the samples were analyzed by HPLC and ESI-MS before and after the measurement (3 cycles from 0 to 90°C and back). Oligonucleotides ON1p, ON1q, and ON1z proved to be stable in all the cases studied but the previously studied 8,11 ON1x had been converted almost quantitatively to the hydrolysis product ON1q in the presence of Cu 2+ (Scheme 3). In the presence of Zn 2+ or in the absence of divalent metal ions, on the other hand, no changes in the ON1x-containing samples were observed.…”

“…8 The greatest effect was observed when the artificial nucleoside was placed in a terminal position or flanked by mismatched base pairs, that is, with the most flexible structures studied. In the middle of a fully matched double helix, introduction of Cu 2+ barely overcame the destabilization caused by the bulky modified nucleoside.…”

“…Most recently, Lönnberg et al have introduced a family of artificial purine-derived nucleosides that were designed with the aim of discriminating a natural nucleobase located opposite the artificial nucleoside [32][33][34][35]. Oligonucleotides capable of specifically recognizing short nucleic acid sequences are relevant in RNA interference and other therapeutic applications for the treatment of genetic disorders [36,37].…”

“…24 The methods in eq 1 and eq 3 have also been used to prepare 1-bppym derivatives (Scheme 1), starting from the appropriate 2,6-dihaloor 2,6-di(hydrazino)-pyrimidine. 25,26 Chemical modification of 1-bpp itself can be achieved by 50 halogenation (Scheme 3). Mild electrophilic chlorination, bromination or iodination reagents lead to selective dihalogenation at the pyrazole C4 positions.…”
