The present invention relates to novel compounds that can act as an auxiliary group for asymmetric induction in the manufacture of phosphorus atom-modified nucleic acid derivatives.
Nucleic acid derivatives such as oligonucleotides are substances useful for variety of uses, such as the use for therapeutic and prophylactic treatments and diagnosis of diseases as well as the use as nanomaterials. However, natural DNAs and RNAs have a problem that they are unstable against nucleases (refer to, for example, Wada, T., “Frontier of Development of Nucleic acid Medicine”, Chapter 1 Development of nucleic acid medicines, 3.3 Chemical synthesis of phosphorus atom-modified nucleic acids, pp.67-'75, CMC Publication, published on February, 2009 and the like). Meanwhile, it has been elucidated by in vivo researches that properties of antisense nucleic acids, such as sequence-specific binding ability for binding with complementary RNAs and stability against nucleases, are influenced by three-dimensional configuration of phosphorus atom in nucleic acid derivatives. Therefore, it is desired to provide a method for preparing a nucleic acid derivative having stability against decomposition by a nuclease and having affinity for a complementary DNA or RNA sequence in vivo or in vitro by controlling three-dimensional configuration of phosphorus atom. It is also desired to provide a means that enables easy preparation of such nucleic acid derivatives by the solid phase method or the liquid phase method, and various chemical modifications of nucleic acid derivatives at sugar or base moieties.
From the aforementioned points of view, nucleic acid derivatives having a phosphorus atom modified with a sulfur atom or boron atom have been focused, and several techniques for controlling the three-dimensional configuration of phosphorus atom in the manufacture of such derivatives have been provided. For example, Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication (KOKAI) No. 2005-89441 discloses a method for preparing a phosphorus atom-modified nucleic acid derivative of high stereoregularity, of which process utilizes a compound represented by the general formula (3) as an activator, and proceeds via a compound represented by the general formula (13) as a reaction intermediate (oxazaphospholidine method). In this method, an optically active nucleoside 3′-phosphoramidite represented by the general formula (1) is prepared, and reacted as a starting material (monomer) with a nucleoside together with the activator represented by the general formula (3), and the resultant is appropriately protected, and then reacted with an electrophilic reagent to prepare the compound represented by the general formula (13). However, this method has problems that the yield of the synthesis of the monomer is low, the monomer is chemically unstable, and thus industrial application thereof is considered to be difficult.
In International Patent Publication WO2010/064146, a method for preparing a phosphorus atom-modified nucleic acid derivative is proposed, which uses an auxiliary group for asymmetric induction (henceforth also referred to as “chiral auxiliary” in the specification). This publication discloses a method for preparing a phosphorus atom-modified nucleic acid derivative in a high asymmetric yield, in which a compound represented by Formula 3 is reacted with a phosphorus atom of a nucleic acid derivative to prepare a compound of Formula 4 wherein D is a group represented by Formula A (residue of the compound of Formula 3) or a compound represented by Formula 5, and then the chiral auxiliary is removed. The outline of this method is shown in the following scheme. This method, utilizing the chiral auxiliary, can use an achiral H-phosphonate monoester as a starting material, which is chemically stable and can be synthesized in a large scale, and can perform the condensation reaction by forming the optically active monomer within the reaction system without isolation and purification thereof. Therefore, the method is more industrially advantageous compared with the method disclosed in Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication (KOKAI) No. 2005-89441.
The compound used for introducing the chiral auxiliary in the method described above is a compound having the following structure (compound represented by Formula 3 in the aforementioned publication).
[In the formula, W1 and W2 independently represent —NG5—, —O—, or —S—, and G1, G2, G3, G4, and G5 independently represent hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an aralkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, a cycloalkylalkyl group, a heterocyclic group, a heteroaryl group, or an aryl group, or two of G1, G2, G3 G4, and G5 bind together to become G6 and represent a saturated or partially unsaturated or unsaturated monocyclic, polycyclic, condensed ring or non-condensed ring hydrocarbon ring group or heteroatom-containing ring group comprising up to about 20 members (provided that at most four of G1, G2, G3, G4, and G5 can become G6)].
However, this publication discloses only the following four kinds of compounds as the compound of Formula 3, and all of these are compounds wherein W1 is —NG5—, and G4 and G5 bind together to form a ring system according to the aforementioned definitions. In this method, the chiral auxiliary introduced by using the compound represented by Formula O or Formula P is removed under a basic condition, and the chiral auxiliary introduced by using the compound represented by Formula Q or Formula R is removed under an acidic condition. In the aforementioned scheme, Route A represents a synthetic method in which the chiral auxiliary is removed under a basic condition in the final step of the condensation cycle for chain length extension, and Route B represents a synthetic method in which the chiral auxiliary is removed under an acidic condition in each condensation cycle for chain length extension.
An object of the present invention is to provide a means for efficiently preparing a phosphorus atom-modified nucleic acid derivative with high stereoregularity. More specifically, the object of the present invention is to provide a chiral auxiliary useful for efficiently preparing a phosphorus atom-modified nucleic acid derivative with high stereoregularity and a compound for introducing the chiral auxiliary.
The inventors of the present invention conducted various researches to achieve the aforementioned object, and recognized that the chiral auxiliaries introduced by using four kinds of the compounds disclosed in International Patent Publication WO2010/064146 formed a chemically stable bond with a phosphorus atom, and a treatment under a severe condition was required for removal thereof in the following step, and from these reasons, it sometimes becomes difficult to efficiently synthesize a long chain nucleic acid derivative, because a decomposition reaction might proceed to produce by-products or the like.
More specifically, the chiral auxiliary introduced by using the compound represented by Formula Q or Formula R among the four kinds of the aforementioned compounds can be removed by generating a cation under a strongly acidic condition, for example, by using 1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in dichloromethane, according to the following SN1 mechanism. However, since this acidic condition is also a condition that causes removal of an adenine base of which base moiety is protected with an acyl type protective group (depurination) (for adenine bases, an acyl type protective group is generally introduced), there arises a problem that when the aforementioned chiral auxiliary is used, the adenine base must be protected with a protective group of amidine type, trityl type, diacyl type or the like (in the following scheme, Bs represents a nucleobase, Me represents methyl group, and Ph represents phenyl group).
The inventors of the present invention further conducted researches, and as a result, found that when a chiral auxiliary, not specifically disclosed in the aforementioned International Patent Publication WO2010/064146, was introduced by using a compound represented by the following general formula (I), the reaction advanced in a high asymmetric yield, and the chiral auxiliary was successfully removed according to the SN1 mechanism under a milder acidic condition, for example, a condition of using 3% dichloroacetic acid (DCA) in dichloromethane, which is used for removal of dimethoxytrityl (DMTr) group at the 5′ end for chain length extension in the nucleic acid synthesis cycle, and that a long chain nucleic acid derivative was successfully and highly efficiently producible by using this chiral auxiliary.
The chiral auxiliary introduced by using the compound represented by Formula O or Formula P, among the four kinds of the compounds specifically disclosed in the aforementioned International Patent Publication WO2010/064146, can be removed as an aziridine compound under a basic condition, for example, by a treatment using aqueous ammonia at 55° C. for 12 hours. Although this removal of the asymmetric protective group under such a basic condition does not cause a problem in synthesis of a comparatively short DNA strand, it causes problems in synthesis of a relatively long DNA strand or synthesis of a chemically unstable RNA strand, for example, side reactions such as decomposition of the strand may occur or it may become difficult to completely remove the group (in the following scheme, Bs represents a nucleobase, Ph represents phenyl group, Nu represents a nucleophilic agent, and DMTr represents dimethoxytrityl group).
The inventors of the present invention further conducted researches, and as a result, found that if a chiral auxiliary was introduced by using a compound represented by the following general formula (XI), which is not specifically disclosed in the aforementioned International Patent Publication WO2010/064146, the reaction advanced in a high asymmetric yield, and the chiral auxiliary was successfully removed under a milder acidic condition according to the β-elimination mechanism, and that a long chain nucleic acid derivative was successfully and highly efficiently producible by using this chiral auxiliary.

The method for preparing a nucleic acid derivative of the present invention using the aforementioned chiral auxiliary typically comprises the following steps: (a) the step of reacting a nucleic acid derivative represented by the general formula (V) and a nucleotide derivative represented by the general formula (IV) to prepare a nucleic acid derivative represented by the general formula (III); (b) the step of repeating the step of removing the protective group(s) of hydroxyl group represented by R11 from the nucleic acid derivative represented by the general formula (III) obtained by the above step (a), and reacting the obtained nucleic acid derivative and a nucleotide derivative represented by the general formula (IV) as required; (c) the step of removing the chiral auxiliary represented by the general formula (II) under an acidic condition to prepare a nucleic acid derivative represented by the general formula (VI); and (d) the step of introducing X into the phosphorus atom of the nucleic acid derivative obtained in the above step (c), and then removing the protective group(s) as required.
This method can be performed in the same manner as that of the cycle shown as Route B in the scheme mentioned for explaining the reaction process of International Patent Publication WO2010/064146 in the background art section.
The compound of the general formula (IV) used in the aforementioned method can be prepared by, for example, activating an achiral mononucleotide monomer as required, and then reacting the resultant with a compound represented by the general formula (I) according to the method disclosed in International Patent Publication WO2010/064146. The compound represented by the general formula (IV) is a tricyclic active intermediate, and has higher reactivity compared with a reaction intermediate prepared from the compound represented by Formula Q or Formula R disclosed in International Patent Publication WO2010/064146.
In the aforementioned method, as the acidic condition for removing the chiral auxiliary represented by the general formula (II) in the step (b), for example, 3% dichloroacetic acid (DCA) in dichloromethane can be used. This acidic condition is a milder acidic condition compared with the condition for removing a chiral auxiliary introduced by using the compound represented by Formula Q or Formula R disclosed in International Patent Publication WO2010/064146 (1% trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in dichloromethane), and does not cause elimination of the adenine base of which base moiety is protected with an acyl type protective group.
Although it is not intended to be bound by any specific theory, it is estimated that the reaction mechanism according to which the chiral auxiliary represented by the general formula (II) is eliminated under an acidic condition is the following SN1 (E1 reaction) mechanism. In the following reaction scheme, one preferred embodiment of the chiral auxiliary represented by the general formula (II) is shown.
The second embodiment of the present invention is an embodiment in which a compound represented by the general formula (XI) is used as a class of chiral auxiliary to be removed with a base.

5′-O-(DMTr)nucleoside (0.5 μmnol) loaded to a HCP or CPG resin via a succinyl or oxalyl linker is used for the synthesis. Repeating the steps in Table 1 performs chain elongation. After the chain elongation, chiral auxiliaries are removed by treatment with an anhydrous 10% DBU solution in acetonitrile at room temperature for 15 min, and washed with acetonitrile. The 5′-O-DMTr group is then removed by treatment with 3% dichloroacetic acid in dichloromethane, and washed with dichloromethane. The oligomer on the HCP or CPG resin is then transferred into a screw-capped O-ring Eppendorf. The support containing 0.5 μmol of the oligonucleotide is suspended in 25% aqueous ammonia (1 mL) at 55° C. for 12 h to remove the protecting groups of the nucleobases and also to release the oligomer from the HCP or CPG resin. After centrifugation, the supernatant is removed in a round flask, and the support is washed with water (0.5 mL, twice). After centrifugation, the combined supernatants are concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue diluted in water (1 mL) is loaded onto a Sep-Pak PLUS tC18 cartridge equilibrated in water. The column is first flushed with water (20 mL) to remove the salts. Then, the desalted stereoregulated X-phosphonate DNAs is eluted with 50% aqueous acetonitrile (10 mL) and analyzed by reverse phase UPLC and MALDI-TOF MS.
A pre-activated (RP)- or (SP)-monomer solution is prepared as follows. 8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-enium 5′-O-(DMTr)-2′-deoxynucleosid-3′-yl phosphonate (25 μmol) is dried by azeotropy with dry toluene, and then dissolved in dry acetonitrile-cyanomethylpyrrolidine (9:1, v/v). To the solution, triphenylphosphine dichloride (62.5 μmol) is added, and stirred for 10 min. Compound 8a, or 12a (30 μmol; Compound 8b, or 12b for “SP” solution) is then added and stirred for additional 10 min to give a pre-activated monomer solution.
5′-O-(DMTr)ribonucleoside (0.5 μmol) loaded to a HCP or CPG resin via a succinyl or oxalyl linker is used for the synthesis. Repeating the steps in Table 2 performs chain elongation. After the chain elongation, chiral auxiliaries are removed by treatment with an anhydrous 10% DBU solution in acetonitrile at room temperature for 15 min, and washed with acetonitrile. The 5′-O-DMTr group is removed by treatment with 3% dichloroacetic acid in dichloromethane and the resin is washed with dichloromethane. The oligomer on the HCP or CPG resin is then transferred into a screw-capped O-ring Eppendorf. The support containing 0.5 μmol of the oligonucleotide is suspended in 25% aqueous ammonia-ethanol (3:1, v/v) at room temperature for 48 h to remove the protecting groups of the nucleobases and also to release the oligomer from the HCP or CPG resin. After centrifugation, the supernatant is removed in a round flask, and the support is washed with water (0.5 mL, twice). After centrifugation, the combined supernatants are concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue is purified by reverse phase HPLC. Fractions containing the desired 2′-O-TBS-protected X-phosphonate RNAs are collected and lyophilized. The residue is treated with a 1 M tetrabutylammonium fluoride solution in dry tetrahydrofuran for 24 h at room temperature.

A pre-activated (RP)- or (SP)-monomer solution is prepared as follows. 8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-enium 5′-O-(DMTr)-2′-O-(TBS)ribonucleosid-3′-yl phosphonate (25 μmol) is dried by azeotropy with dry toluene, and then dissolved in dry acetonitrile-N-cyanomethylpyrrolidine (9:1, v/v). To the solution, triphenylphosphine dichloride (62.5 μmol) is added, and stirred for 10 min. Compound 8a, 11a, 12a, or 15a (30 μmol; Compound 8b, 11b, 12b, or 15b for “SP” solution) is then added and stirred for additional 10 min to give a pre-activated monomer solution.
Where a chiral auxiliary is introduced by using the compound represented by the general formula (I) or the compound represented by the general formula (XI) of the present invention, the reaction advances with a high asymmetric yield, the chiral auxiliary can be removed under a milder condition, and therefore a long chain nucleic acid derivative can be extremely efficiently prepared.
