Synthesis and high stability of complementary complexes of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenazinium derivatives of oligonucleotides

Abstract: Two simple methods for the synthesis of oligonucleotides bearing a N-(2-hydroxyethyl)phenazinium (Phn) residue at the 5'- and/or 3'-terminal phosphate groups are proposed. By forming complexes between a dodecanucleotide d(pApApCpCpTpGpTpTpTpGpGpC), a heptanucleotide d(pCpCpApApApCpA), and Phn derivatives of the latter, it is shown that the introduction of a dye at the end of an oligonucleotide chain strongly stabilizes its complementary complexes. The Tmax and the thermodynamic parameters (delta H, delta S, de… Show more

“…34 The studied variant of oligonucleotide modification by the neutral phenazine dye gives duplex stabilizing effects that are comparable to those found upon the 3Ј-end attachment of a cationic phenazine derivative via a polymethylene chain. 9 The decrease in standard free energy at 37°C was found to be 2.06 Ϯ 0.4 kcal/mol in the latter case compared to 1.7-2.5 kcal/mol in our case (see Table I).…”

“…The toolbox of such modifications is actually rich and well represented. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] The Taq DNA polymerase used in the study does not have 3 ¢ ?5 ¢ exonuclease proofreading activity. Consequently, more than half of the PCR products may incorporate an extra nucleotide residue, usually adenosine, at the 3 ¢ end.…”

“…The first is to modify the primers and probes. The toolbox includes peptide nucleic acid (PNA), 25 locked nucleic acid (LNA), 26,27 conjugated minor groove binders, 28,29 intercalators, 30,31 and certain base modifications. 32 The second approach is based on modification of the detected target DNAs, and it can be as potent in duplex stabilization as the traditional approaches cited above.…”

“…In this case, the reactive antisence oligonucleotides bearing covalently attached 4-[N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-methylamino]benzyl groups (ClRCH 2 NH)-at 5' -terminal phosphate were used as a reagents. The increase in modification yield arising from the presence of both unmodified and modified effectors was supposed to originate from the change in the stability of the target-reagent complex due to cooperative interaction (5). This interaction between oligonucleotides bound to adjacent sites on DNA was suggested to arise largely from stacking between the bases at complex formation (5,11 ).…”

This interaction between oligonucleotides bound to adjacent sites on DNA was suggested to arise largely from stacking between the bases at complex formation (5,11 ). The free energy of base stacking which arises from the induced dipole interactions and hydrophobic forces has been shown to range from -0.5 to -3 kcal mol-1 for monomeric nucleosides associated in aqueous solution (6)(7)(8)(9).…”
