[Reactive oligonucleotide derivatives containing methylphosphonate groups. V. Increased effectiveness of complementary addressed modification of target DNA by alkylating derivatives of methylphosphonate analogs of octathymidylate containing N-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenazinium residues]. 1990

N V Amirkhanov, and V F Zarytova

Efficiency of the intracomplex alkylation of octadecadeoxyribonucleotide d(pC5A8C5) (target) by Rp- and Sp-individual diastereomers of the methylphosphonate octathymidylate 4-(N-methyl-N-2-chloroethylamino)benzyl phosphoramide (-pNHCH2RCl) derivatives bearing an additional N-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenazinium residue (phn), viz. ClRCH2NHpTp.(TpTp)3TpNH(CH2)2NHPhn (I) and PhnNH(CH2)2NHpTp(TpTp)3TpNHCH2RCl (II) (p = -OP(O) (CH3)O-), has been investigated. Stabilisation of the complementary complex formed by the target oligonucleotide and methylphosphonate oligonucleotide derivatives by the Phn group considerably rose the efficiency of the intracomplex alkylation of the target as compared with alkylation by reagents without Phn. RP-isomeric derivatives of (I) and (II) proved to be the most effective alkylating reagents. Specificity of alkylation of nucleic acid target by reagents (I) and (II) is studied.

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.

D009838 Oligodeoxyribonucleotides A group of deoxyribonucleotides (up to 12) in which the phosphate residues of each deoxyribonucleotide act as bridges in forming diester linkages between the deoxyribose moieties. Oligodeoxynucleotide,Oligodeoxyribonucleotide,Oligodeoxynucleotides

Included under this heading is broad array of synthetic compounds that are used as PESTICIDES and DRUGS.

D002621 Chemistry A basic science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter; and the reactions that occur between substances and the associated energy exchange.
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D004249 DNA Damage Injuries to DNA that introduce deviations from its normal, intact structure and which may, if left unrepaired, result in a MUTATION or a block of DNA REPLICATION. These deviations may be caused by physical or chemical agents and occur by natural or unnatural, introduced circumstances. They include the introduction of illegitimate bases during replication or by deamination or other modification of bases; the loss of a base from the DNA backbone leaving an abasic site; single-strand breaks; double strand breaks; and intrastrand (PYRIMIDINE DIMERS) or interstrand crosslinking. Damage can often be repaired (DNA REPAIR). If the damage is extensive, it can induce APOPTOSIS. DNA Injury,DNA Lesion,DNA Lesions,Genotoxic Stress,Stress, Genotoxic,Injury, DNA,DNA Injuries
D000477 Alkylating Agents Highly reactive chemicals that introduce alkyl radicals into biologically active molecules and thereby prevent their proper functioning. Many are used as antineoplastic agents, but most are very toxic, with carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and immunosuppressant actions. They have also been used as components in poison gases.
