Ionizing radiation triggers the activation of caged oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) with a 2-oxoalkyl leaving group to give the corresponding normal uncaged strands. We designed and synthesized ODNs caged by a 2-oxopropyl group at a given thymine N(3) positi

Deoxyribonolactone in DNA is an oxidized abasic site damage that is produced by a variety of physical and chemical agents such as γ-irradiation and ene-diyne antibiotics. The extent and biological significance of the lesion are poorly documented due to the high lability of the damaged DNA. The chemistry of degradation of deoxyribonolactone-containing DNA was investigated using oligonucleotides of different length (5-, 11-, 23-, 34-mers) in which the lactone was photochemically generated, as already reported, from oligonucleotide precursors containing a photoactive nitroindole residue. The procedure was successfully extended to double-strand synthesis by irradiation of the preformed duplex in which one strand contained the nitroindole residue. The degradation kinetics were investigated as a function of pH, temperature, length, and ionic strength. The cleavage fragments resulting from β- and δ-eliminations were isolated and identified by 1H NMR. It was found that the lesion is extremely sensitive to pH and temperature while slightly dependent upon ionic strength, length, and sequence. The cleavage rates for the β- and δ-elimination steps are of the same order of magnitude. The deoxyribonolactone site leads to greater instability of DNA than the regular deoxyribose abasic site.

Trityloxyethylamino group was used for the protection of 5'-phosphoryl group of deoxyribonucleoside.This group is not only protecting group of phosphate also the intermediate for the synthesis of d-ppA and d-pppA.
