Chemoselective N-deacetylation of protected nucleosides and nucleotides promoted by Schwartz's reagent.

ABSTRACT: Protection and deprotection strategies involving the N-acetyl group are widely utilized in nucleoside and nucleotide chemistry. Herein, we present a mild and selective N-deacetylation methodology, applicable to purine and pyrimidine nucleosides, by means of Schwartz's reagent, compatible with most of the common protecting groups used in nucleoside chemistry.

Simultaneous Quantification of Nucleosides and Nucleotides from Biological Samples.

Project description:We report a reverse phase chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method for simultaneous quantification of nucleosides and nucleotides from biological samples, where compound identification was achieved by a tier-wise approach and compound quantification was achieved via external calibration. A total of 65 authentic standards of nucleosides and nucleotides were used for the platform development. The limit of detection (LOD) of those compounds ranged from 0.05 nmol/L to 1.25 ?mol/L, and their limit of quantification (LOQ) ranged from 0.10 nmol/L to 2.50 ?mol/L. Using the developed method, nucleosides and nucleotides from human plasma, human urine, and rat liver were quantified. Seventy-nine nucleosides and nucleotides were identified from human urine and 28 of them were quantified with concentrations of 13.0 nmol/L-151 ?mol/L. Fifty-five nucleosides and nucleotides were identified from human plasma and 22 of them were quantified with concentrations of 1.21 nmol/L-8.54 ?mol/L. Fifty-one nucleosides and nucleotides were identified from rat liver and 23 were quantified with concentrations of 1.03 nmol/L-31.7 ?mol/L. These results demonstrate that the developed method can be used to investigate the concentration change of nucleosides and nucleotides in biological samples for the purposes of biomarker discovery or elucidation of disease mechanisms.

Survey of ribose ring pucker of signaling nucleosides and nucleotides.

Project description:The ribose of protein-bound nucleosides and nucleotides displays preferred conformations (usually either North or South), which can be exploited to design enhanced analogs having chemically fixed conformations. We introduce a computational protocol for assembling data from the protein database (PDB) on the ribose and ribose-like conformation of small molecule ligands when complexed with purinergic signaling proteins (including receptors, enzymes and transporters, and related intracellular pathways). Some targets prefer exclusively North (adenosine and P2Y1 receptors, CD73, adenosine kinase ATP/ADP-binding site, adenosine deaminase), others prefer South (P2Y12 receptor, E-NTPDase2) or East (adenosine kinase substrates), while others (P2XRs) allow various conformations.

Protected pyrimidine nucleosides for cell-specific metabolic labeling of RNA.

Project description:RNA molecules can perform a myriad of functions, from the regulation of gene expression to providing the genetic blueprint for protein synthesis. Characterizing RNA expression dynamics, in a cell-specific manner, still remains a great challenge in biology. Herein we present a new set of protected alkynyl nucleosides for cell-specific metabolic labeling of RNA. We anticipate these analogs will find wide spread utility toward the goal of understanding RNA expression in complex cellular and tissue environments, even within living animals.

Improved Treatment of Nucleosides and Nucleotides in the OPLS-AA Force Field.

Project description:DFT calculations have been used to develop improved descriptions of the torsional energetics for nucleosides and nucleotides in the OPLS-AA force field. Scans of nucleotide dihedral angles (?, ?, and ?) and methyl phosphates provided the bases for the new torsional parameters. In addition, the angle-bending parameters of phosphodiesters and ribose were updated, and adjustments were made to existing carbohydrate torsions to better capture the sugar puckering landscape of ribose. MD simulations of nucleosides with the new parameters demonstrate a significant improvement in the ribose sugar puckering and ? angle distributions. Additionally, energy-minimization of protein-nucleotide crystal structures with the new parameters produced accurate poses.

Oxidation of pyrimidine nucleosides and nucleotides by osmium tetroxide.

Project description:1. Pyrimidine nucleosides such as thymidine, uridine or cytidine are oxidized readily at 0 degrees by osmium tetroxide in ammonium chloride buffer. There is virtually no oxidation in bicarbonate buffer of similar pH. Oxidation of 1-methyluracil yields 5,6-dihydro-4,5,6-trihydroxy-1-methyl-2-pyrimidone. 2. Osmium tetroxide and ammonia react reversibly in aqueous solution to form a yellow 1:1 complex, probably OsO(3)NH. A second molecule of ammonia must be involved in the oxidation of UMP since the rate of this reaction is approximately proportional to the square of the concentration of unprotonated ammonia. 3. 4-Thiouridine reacts with osmium tetroxide much more rapidly than does uridine. The changes of absorption spectra are different in sodium bicarbonate buffer and in ammonium chloride buffer. They occur faster in the latter buffer and, under suitable conditions, cytidine is a major product. 4. Polyuridylic acid is oxidized readily by ammoniacal osmium tetroxide, but its oxidation is inhibited by polyadenylic acid. Pyrimidines of yeast amino acid-transfer RNA are oxidized more slowly than the corresponding mononucleosides, especially the thymine residues. Appreciable oxidation can occur without change of sedimentation coefficient.

Metabolism, Biochemical Actions, and Chemical Synthesis of Anticancer Nucleosides, Nucleotides, and Base Analogs.

Project description:Nucleoside, nucleotide, and base analogs have been in the clinic for decades to treat both viral pathogens and neoplasms. More than 20% of patients on anticancer chemotherapy have been treated with one or more of these analogs. This review focuses on the chemical synthesis and biology of anticancer nucleoside, nucleotide, and base analogs that are FDA-approved and in clinical development since 2000. We highlight the cellular biology and clinical biology of analogs, drug resistance mechanisms, and compound specificity towards different cancer types. Furthermore, we explore analog syntheses as well as improved and scale-up syntheses. We conclude with a discussion on what might lie ahead for medicinal chemists, biologists, and physicians as they try to improve analog efficacy through prodrug strategies and drug combinations.

Synthesis, Antiviral, and Antimicrobial Evaluation of Benzyl Protected Diversified <i>C</i>-nucleosides.

Project description:Formyl glycals are the versatile synthetic intermediates and can serves as precursor for the synthesis of various C and N-nucleosides. Due to the presence of electron donating and electron withdrawing character on formyl sugars which makes the molecule more susceptible to nucleophilic attack. Utilizing same strategy, we propose the synthesis of diversified C-nucleosides (3-14) by reaction with N,N dinucleophiles. These nucleoside analogs were than tested against viral, bacterial and fungal strains.

A reagent for the convenient, solid-phase synthesis of N-terminal peptide hydroxylamines for chemoselective ligations.

Project description:A new N-sulfonyloxaziridine reagent for the conversion of N-terminal peptide amines to the corresponding hydroxylamines without overoxidation or erosion of stereochemistry is described. The products are N-terminal hydroxylamines, which are substrates for chemoselective amide-bond forming reactions with alpha-ketoacids. The success of this reagent arises from covalent precomplexation with the substrate via imine bond formation followed by an intramolecular oxygen-atom transfer to the amine. An unexpected stereochemical mismatch between the racemic reagent and the chiral peptide substrates was addressed by the preparation of an enantipure version of this reagent and provides further support for the proposed mechanism.

Horizontally acquired genes in early-diverging pathogenic fungi enable the use of host nucleosides and nucleotides.

Project description:Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) among bacteria, archaea, and viruses is widespread, but the extent of transfers from these lineages into eukaryotic organisms is contentious. Here we systematically identify hundreds of genes that were likely acquired horizontally from a variety of sources by the early-diverging fungal phyla Microsporidia and Cryptomycota. Interestingly, the Microsporidia have acquired via HGT several genes involved in nucleic acid synthesis and salvage, such as those encoding thymidine kinase (TK), cytidylate kinase, and purine nucleotide phosphorylase. We show that these HGT-derived nucleic acid synthesis genes tend to function at the interface between the metabolic networks of the host and pathogen. Thus, these genes likely play vital roles in diversifying the useable nucleic acid components available to the intracellular parasite, often through the direct capture of resources from the host. Using an in vivo viability assay, we also demonstrate that one of these genes, TK, encodes an enzyme that is capable of activating known prodrugs to their active form, which suggests a possible treatment route for microsporidiosis. We further argue that interfacial genes with well-understood activities, especially those horizontally transferred from bacteria or viruses, could provide medical treatments for microsporidian infections.

Pseudobond parameters for QM/MM studies involving nucleosides, nucleotides, and their analogs.

Project description:In biological systems involving nucleosides, nucleotides, or their respective analogs, the ribose sugar moiety is the most common reaction site, for example, during DNA replication and repair. However, nucleic bases, which comprise a sizable portion of nucleotide molecules, are usually unreactive during such processes. In quantum mechanical∕molecular simulations of nucleic acid reactivity, it may therefore be advantageous to describe specific ribosyl or ribosyl phosphate groups quantum mechanically and their respective nucleic bases with a molecular mechanics potential function. Here, we have extended the pseudobond approach to enable quantum mechanical∕molecular mechanical simulations involving nucleotides, nucleosides, and their analogs in which the interface between the two subsystems is located between the sugar and the base, namely, the C(sp(3))-N(sp(2)) bond. The pseudobond parameters were optimized on a training set of 10 molecules representing several nucleotide and nucleoside bases and analogs, and they were then tested on a larger test set of 20 diverse molecules. Particular emphasis was placed on providing accurate geometries and electrostatic properties, including electrostatic potential, natural bond orbital (NBO) and atoms in molecules (AIM) charges and AIM first moments. We also tested the optimized parameters on five nucleotide and nucleoside analogues of pharmaceutical relevance and a small polypeptide (triglycine). Accuracy was maintained for these systems, which highlights the generality and transferability of the pseudobond approach.
