Effectiveness of neutron radiation (1 MeV) was nearly twice as low as that of electrons and gamma-quanta with regard to the formation of products of radiolysis of 2-deoxy-D-ribose in aqueous solutions. A change in the dose-rate of sparsely ionizing radiation by the order of 5-6, and variation in the concentration of 2-deoxy-D-ribose from 1 to 5 mM did not substantially influence the G products of radiolysis.

Commercially available 2-deoxy-D-ribose was used to synthesize the appropriate oxolane derivative-(2,3)-2-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-3-ol-by reduction and dehydration/cyclization in an acidic aqueous solution. Its monotosyl derivative, as a result of the quaternization reaction, allowed us to obtain eight new muscarine-type derivatives containing a quaternary nitrogen atom and a hydroxyl group linked to the oxolane ring. Their structure was fully confirmed by the results of NMR, MS and IR analyses.

Radiation-induced DNA strand breakage results from the reactions of radicals formed at the sugar moiety of DNA. In order to elucidate the mechanism of this reaction investigations were first performed on low molecular weight model systems. Results from studies on deoxygenated aqueous solutions of ethylene glycol, 2-deoxy-d-ribose and other carbohydrates and, more relevantly, of d-ribose-5-phosphate have shown that substituents can be eliminated from the β-position of the radical site either proton and base-assisted (as in the case of the OH substituent), or spontaneously (as in the case of the phosphate substituent).

This work targets the structural preferences of D-ribose and 2-deoxy-D-ribose in water solution and solid phase. A theoretical DFT (B3LYP and M06-2X) and MP2 study has been undertaken considering the five possible configurations (open-chain, α-furanose, β-furanose, α-pyranose, and β-pyranose) of these two carbohydrates with a comparison of the solvent treatment using only a continuum solvation model (PCM) and the PCM plus one explicit water molecule. In addition, experimental vibrational studies using both nonchiroptical (IR-Raman) and chiroptical (VCD) techniques have been carried out.

Reactions of short sugars under mild, plausibly prebiotic conditions yield organic microspherules that may have played a role in prebiotic chemistry as primitive reaction vessels. It has been widely thought that nitrogen chemistry, in particular Amadori rearrangement, is central to this process, Here we show that microspherules form in the absence of any nitrogen compounds if the pH is sufficiently low. In particular, while the microspherule formation induced by ammonium acetate (pH 7) is not reproduced by ammonium chloride (pH 5), it is reproduced by oxalic acid and by hydrochloric acid (pH 1).
