The synthesis of anti-fixed 3-methyl-3-deaza-2′-deoxyadenosine and other 3h-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine analogs

Rotation of a heterocyclic base around a glycosidic bond allows the formation of syn and anti conformations in nucleosides. The syn conformation has been observed primarily in purine-purine mismatches in DNA duplexes. Such mismatches give rise to false positive oligonucleotide hybridization in DNA-based diagnostics. Here we describe the synthesis of an analog of 2′-deoxyadenosine that retains its Watson-Crick functional groups, but cannot form the syn conformation. In this analog, the N3 atom of 2′-deoxyadenosine is replaced by a C-CH3 group to give 7-methyl-1-β-D-deoxyribofuranosyl-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-4-ylamine or 3-methyl-3-deaza-2′-deoxyadenosine (3mddA). This modification sterically prevents the syn conformation and 3mddA becomes an anti-fixed nucleoside analog of 2′-deoxyadenosine. The synthesis and conformational analysis of 3mddA and several analogs with an 3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine skeleton are described, as well as their potential applications.
