2'-O-(1-Naphthyl)uridine and 2'-O-(2-naphthyl)uridine were synthesized by a microwave-mediated reaction of 2,2'-anhydrouridine with naphthols. Using the 3'-phosphoramidite building blocks, these 2'-O-aryluridine derivatives were incorporated into 2'-O-methylated oligoribonucleotides. Incorporation of five 2'-O-(2-naphthyl)uridines into a 2'-O-methylated RNA sense strand significantly increased the thermostability of the duplex with a 2'-O-methylated RNA antisense strand. Circular dichroism spectroscopy and molecular dynamic simulation of the duplexes formed between the modified RNAs and 2'-O-methyl RNAs suggested that there are π-π interactions between two neighboring naphthyl groups in a sequence of the five consecutively modified nucleosides.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D009843 Oligoribonucleotides A group of ribonucleotides (up to 12) in which the phosphate residues of each ribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the ribose moieties.
D012313 RNA A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity.
