Development of antiparallel-type triplex-forming oligonucleotides containing quinoline derivatives capable of recognizing a T–A base pair in a DNA duplex
2022, Bioorganic and Medicinal ChemistryCitation Excerpt :However, TFOs have yet to be marketed as nucleic acid drugs because of their lower binding ability, lower tolerance to nuclease, and higher sequence dependency than conventional nucleic acid drugs. To solve these issues, in this study, we investigated the chemical modification of TFOs15–26. To bind to a target structure, the TFO can adjust its orientation depending on the sequence of the target DNA duplex.
The ability of a triplex-forming oligonucleotide to recognize T-A and C-G base pairs in a DNA duplex is enhanced by incorporating N-acetyl-2,7-diaminoquinoline
2020, Bioorganic and Medicinal ChemistryCitation Excerpt :However, TFOs have not been approved for sale as nucleic acid drugs because of two major drawbacks: low binding affinity and low flexibility of sequence design. To increase the binding affinity, TFOs with chemical modifications at the nucleobases9–15 or sugar moieties16–20 have been developed by a large number of chemists. For example, it was reported that introduction of LNA and 2-thio-5-methyluridine derivatives into TFOs drastically increased their affinities.
Synthesis of and triplex formation in oligonucleotides containing 2′-deoxy-6-thioxanthosine
2018, Bioorganic and Medicinal ChemistrySynthesis and evaluation of thymidine kinase 1-targeting carboranyl pyrimidine nucleoside analogs for boron neutron capture therapy of cancer
2015, European Journal of Medicinal ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Other chemicals used for synthesis were purchased from standard commercial vendors. 1-(2-Iodoethyl)-closo-1,7-carborane [35], 1-(3-iodopropyl)-closo-1,7-carborane [35], 1-(4-iodobutyl)-closo-1,7-carborane [35], 1-(2-aminoethyl)-closo-1,7-carborane [35], 1-(3-aminopropyl)-closo-1,7-carborane [35], and 1-(4-aminobutyl)-closo-1,7-carborane [35], as well as compounds 2 [32], 3 [31], 4 [31], 5 [34], 10 [29], 23 [37], and 31 [39] were synthesized according to previously described procedures. Spectroscopic data for compounds 2–5, 10, and 31 are provided in SM.
Anti-parallel triplexes: Synthesis of 8-aza-7-deazaadenine nucleosides with a 3-aminopropynyl side-chain and its corresponding LNA analog
2015, Bioorganic and Medicinal ChemistryCitation Excerpt :Interestingly, double-stranded oligonucleotides with 5-aminomethyl-2′-deoxyuridine have high affinity for a single-stranded DNA or RNA to form anti-parallel triplexes in buffer solutions with and without Mg+2. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only example which showed the stabilization effects of aminoalkyl modifications on anti-parallel triplex.19 When we started to make molecular modeling simulation of the anti-parallel triplex, we observed that N-7 of adenine residues in the TFO strand is located close to the phosphate backbone of the Watson-Crick purine strand (see molecular modeling section).
