Synthesis and characterization of oligonucleotides containing 5',8-cyclopurine 2'-deoxyribonucleosides: (5'R)-5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine, (5'S)-5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosine, and (5'R)-5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosine. 1999

Radiation-induced degradation of purine and pyrimidine nucleosides gave rise to carbon-bridged cyclocompounds. Such cyclonucleosides represent a class of tandem lesions in which modification of both the base and 2-deoxyribose has occurred. A solid-phase synthetic method was designed for the incorporation of both 5'R and 5'S diastereoisomers of 5',8-cyclopurine 2'-deoxyribonucleosides into oligodeoxynucleotides to facilitate the assessment of the biochemical and biophysical features of such lesions. We report the preparation of the phosphoramidite synthons of (5'R)-5', 8-cyclo-2'-deoxyadenosine (2), (5'S)-5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosine (3), and (5'R)-5',8-cyclo-2'-deoxyguanosine (4). Fully protected compounds 10, 18, and 25 were then inserted into several oligonucleotides by automated procedures. Analysis of modified DNA oligomers 26-31 by electrospray mass spectrometry and enzymatic digestions with exo- and endonucleases confirmed the base compositions and the integrity of free radical-induced tandem lesions 2-4 that were chemically inserted.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
