Chemical syntheses of 1-(2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)lumazines and isoptefins as well as 8-(2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-4-amino-7(8H)pteridones and -isoxantho-pterins have been developed to make the structural analogs of the naturally occurring 2'-deoxyribonucleosides in the pteridine series available. The corresponding phosphoramidites have been used in machine- aided solid-support syntheses leading to new types of fluorescence labeled oligonucleotides. The effects of the various fluorophors on duplex formation and as labels for enzyme reactions is demonstrated.

Various condensed areno[g]lumazine derivatives 2, 3, and 5-7 were synthesized as new fluorescent aglycones for glycosylation reactions with 2- deoxy-3,5-di-O-(p-toluoyl)-α/β-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl chloride (10) to form, in a Hilbert-Johnson-Birkofer reaction, the corresponding N1-(2'- deoxyribonucleosides) 15-21. The β-D-anomers 15, 17, 19, and 21 were deblocked to 24-27 and, together with N1-(2'-deoxy-β-D- ribofuranosyl)lumazine (22) and its 6,7-diphenyl derivative 23, dimethoxytritylated in 5'-position to 28-33. These intermediates were then converted into the 3'-(2-cyanoethyl diisopropylphosphoramidites) 34-39 which function as monomeric building block in oligonucleotide syntheses as well as into the 3'-(hydrogen succinates) 40-45 which can be used for coupling with the solid-support material. A series of lumazine-modified oligonucleotides were synthesized and the influence of the new nucleobases on the stability of duplex formation studied by measuring the T(m) values in comparison to model sequences. A substantial increase in the T(m) is observed on introduction of areno[g]lumazine moieties in the oligonucleotide chain stabilizing obviously the helical structures by improved stacking effects. Stabilization is strongly dependent on the site of the modified nucleobase in the chain.
