New Reagents for Photoaffinity Labeling: Synthesis and Photolysis of Functionalized Perfluorophenyl Azides

Functionalized perfluorophenyl azides (PFPA) 2-6, 8-12, 14-19, and 21-29 were synthesized, allowing the attachment of PFPA to other molecules for application as photolabels.Two biactive molecules were modified by a PFPA as potential photoaffinity labeling reagents.Photolysis of two representative members was investigated.Photolysis of azide 4 in cyclohexane gave 57 percent of CH insertion product.When photolysis was carried out in the presence of diethylamine as a trapping reagent, it gave 65 percent of NH insertion product, and no ring expansion product was found.The nitro azide 19 showed a shoulder absorption in the longer wavelength compared to azide 4.Azide 19 gave less CH insertion and more aniline products compared to azide 4 when photolyzed in toluene, suggesting that the nitro group accelerates intersystem crossing of the singlet nitrene or the singlet excited azide.Collectively, our results demonstrate that the functionalized PFPA investigated are much better in undergoing CH insertion than their nonfluorinated analogues and suggest that they may constitute an improved series of photolabeling reagents.

We report the design, synthesis and activity studies on a novel class of template-competitive reverse transcriptase inhibitors (TCRTIs). The TCRTIs are 1,N(6)-etheno analogues of a series of dATP-based template-competitive DNA polymerase inhibitors synthesized in our laboratory (Moore, B. M.; Jalluri, R.; Doughty, M.B. Biochemistry 1996, 35, 11634). Thus, nucleotides 2-(4-azidophenacyl)thio-1,N(6)-etheno-2'-deoxyadenosine 5'-triphosphate 1, the tetrafluoro analogue 2-(4-azido-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenacyl)thio-1,N(6)-etheno-2'-deoxyadenosine 5'-triphosphate 2 and its analogues were synthesized by alkylation of 2-thio-1,N(6)-etheno-2'-deoxyadenosine 5'-monophosphate with the corresponding chloro- or bromo-alkyl halides and converted to the triphosphate. Kinetically, nucleotides 1 and 2 are both competitive inhibitors of reverse transcriptase versus template/primer with K(i)'s of 8.0 and 7.4 microM, respectively, and non-competitive inhibitors versus TTP with K(i)'s of 15 and 10 microM, respectively. Nucleotide 3, which differs from 1 only in that it lacks the etheno group, non-complementary nucleotide triphosphates, and related monophosphates and nucleosides, are completely inactive as inhibitors of reverse transcriptase at concentrations up to 1 mM. Photoinactivation of RT by 1 was both time- and concentration-dependent, and protected by template/primer but not by dNTPs. The concentration-dependent inactivation data gave a K(D,app) of 17.2 microM and maximum inactivation of 90%, and radiolabeled [beta, gamma-32P]-1 photoincorporated specifically and covalently into the p66 subunit of RT. Thus the photoinactivation data support our main conclusion from the kinetic data that this class of RT inhibitors are non-substrate and template-competitive.
