The naphthaloyl group has been found to be a selective amino protecting group for deoxycytidine, deoxyadenosine, and deoxyguanosine in oligodeoxyribonucleotide synthesis. All three protected monomers obtained (78-85%), being six-membered cyclic imides, were fairly stable. These protected monomers were used successfully for the preparation of dimers (phosphodiester approach) and tetramers (phosphotriester approach) in solution as well as solid phase, respectively. The group acted as a purification tool due to its high lipophilicity. No adverse effect has been observed either on the glycosidic bond (depurination) or the intemucleotidic bond during its removal. The monomeric units were characterized by UV, NMR, and elemental analyses whereas the tetramers were characterized by enzymatic hydrolyses with snake venom phosphodiesterase followed by alkaline phosphatase.ARCHANA DIKSHIT, MANJULA CHADDHA, R.

On a trouvC que le groupe naphtaloyle constitue un groupe protecteur selectif de la fonction amine de la dCoxycytidine, de la dCoxyadCnosine et de la dkoxyguanosine dans la synthkse de 1'oligodCoxyribonuclCotide. Les trois monomkres protCgCs obtenus (78-85%) sont des imides cycliques i six chainons assez stables. On a~u t i l i s~ avantageusement ces trois monomkres protCgCs dans la prkparation des dimkres (approche phosphodiester) et des titramkres (approche phosphotriesters) en solution aussi bien qu'en phase solide respectivement. La grande IipophilicitC de ce groupe en fait un outil de purification. On n'a pas observC d'effets contraires ni sur la liaison glycosidique (dipurination) ni sur la liaison intemucliotidique lors de la diprotection. On a caractCrisC les unitis monornkres par ultraviolet, par risonance magnitique nuclCaire et par analyse ClCmentaire tandis que l'hydrolyse enzymatique par le phosphodiestirase du venin de serpent suivie d'une phosphatase alcaline ont permis de caractiriser les titramkres.[Traduit par la revue] Introduction The importance of synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides in molecular biology (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) has long attracted attention to the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
