Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to a chiral reagent that is used to synthesize stereocontrolled phosphorus atom-modified oligonucleotide derivatives.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

JP 2005-89441 A discloses a method for producing a derivative of nucleotides called an oxazaphospholidine method. However, the isolate yield of the monomers is low and the method requires special capping agents that are not commercially available. Further obtained monomers are chemically unstable. Furthermore, the isolate yields of oligonucleotide derivatives are not high. It is thought that the low yield of oligonucleotide derivatives is caused by the degradation reactions under the de-protection steps.

In other embodiments, when the method is performed via solid phase synthesis, the solid support comprising the compound is filtered away from side products, impurities, and/or reagents.

If the final nucleic acid is a dimer, then the capping step is not necessary.

Chain Elongation Cycle and De-Protection Step


The capped condensed intermediate is deblocked to remove the blocking group at the 5′-end of the growing nucleic acid chain to provide a compound. The compound is optionally allowed to re-enter the chain elongation cycle to form a condensed intermediate, a capped condensed intermediate, a modified capped condensed intermediate, and a 5′-deprotected modified capped intermediate. Following at least one round of chain elongation cycle, the 5′-deprotected modified capped intermediate is further deblocked by removal of the chiral auxiliary ligand and other protecting groups, e.g., nucleobase, modified nucleobase, sugar and modified sugar protecting groups, to provide a nucleic acid. In other embodiments, the nucleoside comprising a 5′-OH moiety is an intermediate from a previous chain elongation cycle as described herein. In yet other embodiments, the nucleoside comprising a 5′-OH moiety is an intermediate obtained from another known nucleic acid synthetic method. In embodiments where a solid support is used, the phosphorus-atom modified nucleic acid is then cleaved from the solid support. In certain embodiments, the nucleic acids is left attached on the solid support for purification purposes and then cleaved from the solid support following purification.


Based on the present method, it is possible to use stable and commercially available materials as starting materials. It is possible to produce stereocontrolled phosphorus atom-modified oligonucleotide derivatives using an achiral starting material.

A saturated NH4Cl aqueous solution (100 mL) and Et2O (100 mL) were then added, and the organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with Et2O (2×100 mL). The organic layer were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by chromatography on silica gel to afford VI-a (1.41 g, 28%) as white foam.

General Procedure for the Synthesis of Chrial-Oligos:


The automated solid-phase synthesis of chiral-oligos were performed according to the cycles shown in Table 1. After the synthesis, the resin was treated with a 25% NH3 aqueous solution (1 mL) for 12 h at 55 degrees C. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and the resin was removed by membrane filtration. The filtrate was concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in H2O (3 mL) and analyzed by RP-UPLC-MS with a linear gradient of acetonitrile (0-50%/30 min) in 0.1 M triethylammonium acetate buffer (pH 7.0) at 50 degrees C. at a rate of 0.3 mL/min.

The above Compound 25, which represents a conventional monomer, was used to produce oligos. FIG. 2 shows a chart of products obtained through Comparison Example 1.


Analysis


The monomers of the working examples were chemically stable. The isolate yield of the monomers were more than 80%, which was higher that of conventional method.


We synthesized oligonucleotide derivatives using the chiral reagents of the above working examples based on the second general procedure and monomers of the above working examples based on the first general procedure. As shown in FIG. 2, the conventional monomer causes incomplete de-protection products, side products and failure sequences. On the other hand, the method of the invention causes little incomplete de-protection products and little side products even though it causes failure sequences as shown in FIG. 1. It is obvious that the method of the invention can lessen the incomplete de-protection products and side products. It was easy to isolate the targeted oligonucleotide derivatives because the present invention can lessen undesirable products.
