Abstract

Hexofuranosyl nucleosides are considered as conformationally restricted acyclic nucleosides using a furanose ring to link the diol backbone to the nucleobase. The phosphoramidite of 1-(2,3-dideoxy-beta-D-erythro-hexofuranosyl)thymine was synthesized from thymidine with formation of a new stereocentre at C-5' and the nucleoside was used in oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) synthesis. Binding of mixed sequence ODNs towards complementary DNA and RNA showed decreased affinity compared to the wild-type oligos. Insertion in the middle of poly alphaT sequence led to stabilization of ODN/dA(14) duplexes at low ionic strength, but a decrease was observed in medium and high salt buffers compared to d(alphaT)(14)/dA(14). Both beta and alpha hexofuranosyl thymidines allowed cleavage of complementary mixed-sequence RNA by RNase H to the 3'-site of the modification in ODNs whereas a limited inhibition was detected from the 5'-site.
