To study the structural and biological impact of 8-aryl-2'-deoxyguanosine adducts, an efficient protocol is required to incorporate them site-specifically into oligonucleotide substrates. Traditional phosphoramidite chemistry using 5'- O-DMT protection can be limiting because 8-aryl-dG adducts suffer from greater rates of acid-catalyzed depurination than dG and are sensitive to the acidic deblock conditions required to remove the DMT group. Herein we show that the 5'-O-2,7- dimethylpixyl (DMPx) protecting group can be used to limit acid exposure and improve DNA synthesis efficiency for DNA substrates containing 8-aryl-dG adducts. Our studies focus on 8-aryl-dG adducts with 8-substituents consisting of furyl (FurdG), phenyl (PhdG), 4-cyanophenyl (CNPhdG), and quinolyl (QdG). These adducts differ in ring size and sensitivity to acid-promoted deglycosylation. A kinetic study for adduct hydrolysis in 0.1 M aqueous HCl determined that FurdG was the most acid-sensitive (55.2-fold > dG), while QdG was the most resistant (5.6-fold > dG). The most acid-sensitive FurdG was chosen for optimization of solid-phase DNA synthesis. Our studies show that the 5'-O-DMPx group can provide a 4-fold increase in yield compared to 5'- O-DMT for incorporation of FurdG into DNA substrates critical for determining adduct impact on DNA synthesis and repair.

A general scheme for the synthesis of C8-arylpurine phosphoramidites has been developed. C8-Arylation of 8-bromo-2--deoxyguanosine is the key step and has been achieved through the use of a Suzuki coupling. Since the coupling reaction is conducted under a
