Abstract: | The synthesis and properties of a bridged nucleic acid analogue containing a N3'-->P5' phosphoramidate linkage, 3'-amino-2',4'-BNA, is described. A heterodimer containing a 3'-amino-2',4'-BNA thymine monomer, and thymine and methylcytosine monomers of 3'-amino-2',4'-BNA and their 5'-phosphoramidites, were synthesized efficiently. The dimer and monomers were incorporated into oligonucleotides by conventional 3'-->5' assembly, and 5'-->3' reverse assembly phosphoramidite protocols, respectively. Compared to a natural DNA oligonucleotide, modified oligonucleotides containing the 3'-amino-2',4'-BNA residue formed highly stable duplexes and triplexes with single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), single-stranded RNA (ssRNA), and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) targets, with the average increase in melting temperature (T(m)) against ssDNA, ssRNA and dsDNA being +2.7 to +4.0 degrees C, +5.0 to +7.0 degrees C, and +5.0 to +11.0 degrees C, respectively. These increases are comparable to those observed for 2',4'-BNA-modified oligonucleotides. In addition, an oligonucleotide modified with a single 3'-amino-2',4'-BNA thymine residue showed extraordinarily high resistance to nuclease degradation, much higher than that of 2',4'-BNA and substantially higher even than that of 3'-amino-DNA and phosphorothioate oligonucleotides. The above properties indicate that 3'-amino-2',4'-BNA has significant potential for antisense and antigene applications. |
