Oligonucleotide duplexes containing N8-glycosylated 8-aza-7-deazaguanine and self-assembly of 8-aza-7-deazapurines on the nucleoside and the oligomeric level.

The 8-aza-7-deazaguanine N8-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranoside) (1) was synthesized, converted into the phosphoramidite 4 and incorporated into oligonucleotides. Nucleoside 1 forms stable base pairs with 2'-deoxy-5-methylisocytidine in DNA with antiparallel chain orientation (aps) and with 2'-deoxycytidine in duplexes with parallel chains (ps). According to the CD spectra self-complementary oligonucleotides d(1-m5isoC)3 and d(1-C), form autonomous DNA-structures. Neither the nucleoside 1 nor the regularly linked 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyguanosine form G-like tetrads while the regularly linked 8-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyisoguanosine gives higher molecular assemblies which are destroyed by bulky 7-bromo substituents. This was verified on monomeric nucleosides by ESI-MS spectrometry and on oligonucleotides by HPLC analysis.[1]
