Novel non-nucleosidic building blocks for the preparation of multilabeled oligonucleotides.

Synthesis of new non-nucleosidic phosphoramidites 1 and 2 derived from achiral precursors containing two reporter groups or amino functions is described. Among them, only phosphoramidites 1a-c allow multiple derivatization of synthetic oligonucleotides. The usefulness of building blocks 1a-c is demonstrated by introduction of several amino functions or fluorescent dansyl reporters at the 3'- and 5'-termini of synthetic oligonucleotides and their phosphorothioate analogues. It is demonstrated that multilabeled non-nucleosidic tether has no or only minor influence on the hybridization properties of the oligonucleotides.

Disulfide-tethered solid supports for synthesis of photoluminescent oligonucleotide conjugates: hydrolytic stability and labeling on the support.

Several new disulfide-tethered solid supports (S1-S5) were synthesized, and their resistance against ammonolysis was tested. Among these supports, only the one bearing an N-[15-[(4, 4'-dimethoxytrityl)oxy]-12,13-dithiapentadecanoyl] linker (S4b) tolerated ammonolysis and exhibited properties compatible with the oligonucleotide synthesis by phosphoramidite strategy. The applicability of this disulfide linker structure in postsynthetic oligonucleotide labeling on the support was demonstrated by introduction of two photoluminescent lanthanide chelates or two dansyl groups to the N4-(6-aminohexyl) amino-modified cytosine residues at the 5' end of the oligonucleotide sequence. Subsequent release of the resulting conjugates as their 3'-phosphates was achieved by reductive cleavage of the disulfide bond and precipitation of the conjugate from the solution with ethanol. The fluorescently tagged oligomer obtained showed hybridization properties similar to those of oligonucleotides labeled in solution.

Aminooxy functionalized oligonucleotides: preparation, on-support derivatization, and postsynthetic attachment to polymer support.

Three novel phosphoramidites, each bearing a phthaloyl-protected aminooxy tail, were prepared and applied in automated oligonucleotide synthesis. After chain assembly, the phthaloyl protection was removed with hydrazinium acetate. Normal succinyl linker turned to be stable under these conditions, and hence the support-bound oligonucleotide could be converted to a pyrene oxime conjugates by reacting with pyrene carbaldehyde or cis-retinal. Standard ammonolytic deprotection then released the deprotected conjugate in solution. Alternatively, the crude aminooxy-tethered oligonucleotide was immobilized to microscopic polymer particles by reacting the aminooxy function with the particle-bound aldehyde or epoxide groups. These immobilized oligonuceotides were shown to serve properly as probes in a mixed phase hybridization assay.
