The modification of various important nucleotide-based molecules (such as nucleotides, RNA, DNA, oligonucleotides) with fluorophores, affinity tags and reactive moieties is of enormous utility for studying their localization, structure and dynamics, as well as diverse biological functions involving their interacting partners. Herein, we report chemical methodology in which the dinucleotide mRNA cap analogue is doubly modified within its second nucleotide. The prepared dinucleotide contains an alkyne at the N2-position of guanine, and levulinic acid within the ribose moiety. Such modifications may be further used for specific labeling of the cap, for instance with a fluorophore that will allow the molecule to be tracked inside the cell and an attachment cell-penetrating peptide that will help to deliver it to the area of interest. Exemplar molecules were attached in order to demonstrate the utility of the newly synthesized cap analogue.

Here we sought to evaluate the contribution of the PBD unit to the biological activity of PBD-conjugates and, to this end, an adenosine nucleoside was attached to the PBD A-ring C8 position. A convergent approach was successfully adopted for the synthesis of a novel C8-linked pyrrolo(2,1-c)(1,4)benzodiazepine(PBD)-adenosine(ADN) hybrid. The PBD and adenosine (ADN) moieties were synthesized separately and then linked through a pentynyl linker. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a PBD connected to a nucleoside. Surprisingly, the compound showed no cytotoxicity against murine cells and was inactive against Mycobacterium aurum and M. bovis strains and did not bind to guanine-containing DNA sequences, as shown by DNase I footprinting experiments. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that the PBD-ADN conjugate was poorly accommodated in the DNA minor groove of two DNA sequences containing the AGA-PBD binding motif, with the adenosine moiety of the ligand preventing the covalent binding of the PBD unit to the guanine amino group of the DNA duplex. These interesting findings shed further light on the ability of the substituents attached at the C8 position of PBDs to affect and modulate the biological and biophysical properties of PBD hybrids.

The synthesis of the protected form of 2-methylthio-N6-threonylcarbamoyl adenosine (ms2t6A) was developed starting from adenosine or guanosine by using the optimized carbamate method and, for the first time, an isocyanate route. The hypermodified nucleoside was subsequently transformed into the protected ms2t6A-phosphoramidite monomer and used in a large-scale synthesis of the precursor 17nt ms2t6A-oligonucleotide (the anticodon stem and loop fragment of tRNALys from T. brucei). Finally, stereochemically secure ms2t6A→ms2ct6A cyclization at the oligonucleotide level efficiently afforded a tRNA fragment bearing the ms2ct6A unit. The applied post-synthetic approach provides two sequentially homologous ms2t6A- and ms2ct6A-oligonucleotides that are suitable for further comparative structure–activity relationship studies.
