Oligonucleotides with parallel (ps) or antiparallel (aps) chain orientation containing 7-deaza-2'-deoxyisoguanosine (1) or 2'- deoxyisoguanosine (2) were prepared. The phosphoramidite and phosphonate building blocks 3-6 were synthesized and used in solid-phase synthesis. The diphenylcarbamoyl (dpc) residue was used for the 2-oxo group protection and the isobutyryl (iBu=ib) residue for the amino function. Hybridization experiments were performed with oligonucleotides containing 7-deazaisoguanine or isoguanine. Regarding 7-deazapurine-containing oligonucleotides, the 7- deazaisoguanine cytosine base pair was the strongest in ps-duplexes, while that of 7-deazaisoguanine. 5-methylisocytosine was the most stable one in apsDNA. Ambiguous base pairing of 7-deazaisoguanine with cytosine, 5- methylisocytosine, thymine, and guanine was observed in the case of aps- duplexes, whereas in ps-duplexes, the ambiguity was extended to adenine. The 7-deazaisoguanine-containing duplexes showed almost identical base-pair stabilities as those containing isoguanine. According to this, various base- pair motifs are proposed. The 7-deaza-2'-deoxyisoguanosine was found to be an effective substitute of 2'-deoxyisoguanosine.
