Published: April 2001

Acid catalysed transformations of (6S)-6,5'-anhydro-6-hydroxy-1-(2',3'-O-isopropylidene-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)hexahydropyrimidine-2-thione are studied. (6R)-6,2'-anhydro-6-hydroxy-1-(alpha-D-ribofuranosyl)hexahydropyrimidine-2-thione was formed as a thermodynamically stable product. Two intermediates, (6S)-6,5'-anhydro-6-hydroxy-1-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)hexahydropyrimidine-2-thione and 6-hydroxy-1-(D-ribosyl)hexahydropyrimidine-2-thione and products of cleavage of glycosidic bond were identified in the reaction mixtures. Results of X-ray structural determination of the synthesised nucleosides are presented.

Cyclonucleosides are a group of nucleoside derivatives which, in addition to the classical N-glycosidic bond, have an additional covalent bond (linker, bridge) in their structure, which connects the heterocyclic base and sugar ring. The majority of them have been discovered in the laboratory; however, few such compounds have also been found in natural sources, including metabolites of sponges or radical damage occurring in nucleic acids. Due to their structural properties-rigid, fixed conformation-they have found wide applications in medicinal chemistry and biochemistry as biocides as well as enzyme inhibitors and molecular probes.

Uridine derivatives undergo a diastereospecific intramolecular hetero Michael addition onto uracil C6 to give cyclo-adducts. In contrast to the potent amine and thiol nucleophiles at the 5' position of ribose, which readily give the - and -cyclonucleosides in good yields, the cyclization reaction from the "natural" 5'-hydroxyl is tedious and has so far been overlooked most probably because of the thermodynamic instability of the -cyclo-adduct. Here, we show that the -cyclonucleoside can be isolated, although in low isolated yields, in acidic conditions following an original mechanism.

Comprehensive Assessment of Oxidatively Induced Modifications of DNA in a Rat Model of Human Wilson's Disease.

March 2016

From the ‡Environmental Toxicology Graduate Program and §Department of Chemistry, University of California, Riverside, California 92521;

Defective copper excretion from hepatocytes in Wilson's disease causes accumulation of copper ions with increased generation of reactive oxygen species via the Fenton-type reaction. Here we developed a nanoflow liquid chromatography-nanoelectrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry coupled with the isotope-dilution method for the simultaneous quantification of oxidatively induced DNA modifications. This method enabled measurement, in microgram quantities of DNA, of four oxidative stress-induced lesions, including direct ROS-induced purine cyclonucleosides (cPus) and two exocyclic adducts induced by byproducts of lipid peroxidation, i.

Article Synopsis
  • Oligonucleotides were synthesized using 2'-fluorinated nucleosides, but (F)iCd was unstable during deprotection, leading to side product formation unless mild conditions were used.
  • Oligonucleotides with 2'-fluoro substitutions were found to stabilize double-stranded structures with antiparallel orientations, while those with parallel orientations showed unexpected instability.
  • The rigidity of parallel-stranded nucleic acids might explain why nature favors antiparallel chain orientation, suggesting that parallel arrangements may not accommodate sugar residues effectively.

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a genetic disorder associated with defects in nucleotide excision repair, which eliminates a wide variety of helix-distorting types of DNA damage including sunlight-induced pyrimidine dimers. In addition to skin disease, approximately 30% of XP patients develop progressive neurological disease, which has been hypothesized to be associated with the accumulation of a particular type of oxidatively generated DNA damage called purine 8,5'-cyclo-2'-deoxynucleosides (purine cyclonucleosides). However, there are no currently available methods to detect purine cyclonucleosides in DNA without the need for DNA hydrolysis.
