Abstract

The potential of N(Me)-alkoxyamine glycosylation as a DNA-templated ligation has been studied. On a hairpin stem-template model, a notable rate enhancement and an increased equilibrium yield are observed compared to the corresponding reaction without a DNA catalyst. The N-glycosidic connection is dynamic at pH 5, whereas it becomes irreversible at pH 7. The N(Me)-alkoxyamine glycosylation may hence be an attractive pH controlled reaction for the assembly of DNA-based dynamic products.
The concept of DNA-templated organic synthesis (DTS) has inspired researchers to apply a hybridization-driven proximity effect to various chemical reactions unrelated in structure to the DNA backbone for more than two decades. (1) Even reactions that are perceived to occur under dry conditions may work in aqueous media under hybridization-driven conditions. As an example, DNA-catalyzed glycosylation using aryl glycosides as donors has recently been described. (2) However, for the self-assembled DNA-based supramolecular constructs, (3,4) dynamic combinatorial libraries, (5) or for the models of self-replicating systems, (6−13) reversible dynamic reactions are of particular interest. (14−16) In addition, it would be beneficial if the reaction was biorthogonal and inducible by traceless stimuli, e.g., by a reasonable pH change, (17−22) oxidation, (23,24) or UV irradiation. (25) Imine formation, used extensively for the DNA-catalyzed sequence specific oligomerization of nucleic acid analogues, (26−30) partly meets these requirements, as the imine intermediates are irreversibly reduced to the stable alkylamine products (i.e., reductive amination). The boronic acid ligation (18−22) is, in turn, an excellent example of such a dynamic reaction, occurring between a 5′-ended boronic acid and a 3′-ended ribonucleotide under slightly basic conditions. Even autotemplated duplex self-assembly representing a model of sequence-defined synthetic polymers has been examined by borononucleic acids. (22)
The present study shows that N(Me)-oxyamine glycosylation is an attractive option as a dynamic, pH-controlled DNA-templated ligation. The reaction itself is known (31) and used for the preparation of various glycoconjugates. (31−37) Recently, real-time NMR studies of the reaction with different substrates have also been reported. (38) The reaction is advantageous since it is nearly biorthogonal, occurs in slightly acidic conditions and the products (i.e., N-alkoxyaminoglycosides) are virtually stable at neutral pH. Moreover, high anomeric selectivity may be observed (cf. Table 1: β-anomer with glucose).

entry | pH | t0.5 | equilibrium yield (%) | β/α ratio | equilibrium constant, K (L mol–1) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 4 | 30.8 ± 0.8 h | 25.0 | 1:0 | 38.1 |
2 | 5 | 223 ± 8 h | 35.1 | 1:0 | 65.6 |
3 | 6 | 95.6 ± 4.0 d | 41.6 | 1:0 | 89.9 |
Conditions: 5.0 mmol L–11 and 10.0 mmol L–12 in 0.1 mol L–1 sodium acetate or 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonate, I = 0.1 mol L–1 (NaCl), pH = 4, 5 or 6, 24 °C.
To evaluate the central hypothesis, 5′-O-(methylamino)thymidine (1) and appropriate building blocks for the automated DNA synthesis of 5′-N(Me)aminooxy- and 3′-d-glucose-modified oligonucleotides, i.e., phosphoramidite 4 and solid supported d-glucose 5, were prepared. Syntheses of 1 and 4 are outlined in Scheme 1. The 5′-O-phthaliimido group (6) was introduced to thymidine by a published procedure. (39) The phthaloyl group of 6 was removed by hydrazinolysis, and the exposed aminooxy group was converted to oxime 7 by a one-pot treatment with formaldehyde. Reduction of 7 with NaCNBH3 gave 1 in 86% overall yield (calculated from thymidine). The Fmoc protection and phosphitylation of the 5′-O-(methylamino) group and of the 3′-OH group, respectively, gave the phosphoramidite building block 4. The preparation of solid supported d-glucose (5) is shown in Scheme 2. The anomeric hydroxyl group of d-glucose tetra acetate 9 was TBS protected, the acetyl groups were removed by a sodium methoxide-catalyzed transesterification, and the 6-OH group was selectively protected by the DMTr group to give 11 in 56% overall yield. Compound 11 was immobilized (loading of 20 μmol g–1) to a long-chain alkylamino-modified controlled pore class (LCAA-CPG) via a one-pot conversion to a succinate and a subsequent amide coupling to LCAA-CPG using PyBOP as an activator. The unreacted amino groups on the support (5) were capped by an acetic anhydride treatment.

Preliminary ligation experiments were first carried out without a DNA catalyst. Compound 1 was mixed with buffered solutions of d-glucose (2) at pH 4, 5, and 6, and reaction rates and equilibrium constants of the N-glycosylation (3) were determined (Table 1). Consistent with previous findings with N-methylethoxyamine, (38) lowering the pH from 6 to 4 accelerated the reaction, whereas the equilibrium yield decreased. Only β-anomer was detected in each experiment. It may also be worth noting that within the observed reaction rates the extent of the N-glycosylation would be unsubstantial at a micromolar concentration of the substrates (cf. the experiments below).
To demonstrate the DNA-templated N(Me)-alkoxyamine glycosylation, a simple hairpin stem-template architecture, similar to that has previously been used for the maleimide–thiol ligation, (40) was designed to provide the proximity effect between the 3′-reducing d-glucose and the 5′-N(Me) aminooxy group (Scheme 3). For that purpose, the phosphoramidite building block of 5′-O-(methylamino)thymidine 4 and solid-supported d-glucose 5, together with commercially available phosphoramidite building blocks, were used for the automated synthesis of 5′-O-(methyamino)oligonucleotide ON1 and 3′-d-glucose-modified oligonucleotide ON2, respectively (Schemes 1 and 2, experimental details shown in the Supporting Information). As seen in the RP HPLC profiles of the crude product mixtures (Figure 1), the oligonucleotides (ON1 and ON2) could be successfully synthesized. A buffered (pH 5) solution of the oligonucleotides (10 μmol L–1ON1 and 20 μmol L–1ON2, at 24 °C) was then prepared, and the progress of the expected ligation was followed by an ion-exchange chromatography. As seen in the chromatograms (Figure 2

In summary, a DNA-templated N(Me)-oxyamine glycosylation has been described for the first time. A notable rate enhancement was observed compared to the nontemplated reaction at pH 5, as expected. The beneficial properties of the DNA-templated N(Me)-oxyamine glycosylation, i.e., a dynamic biorthogonal reaction that may switched on/off by a pH change, may find applications for many supramolecular purposes. Dynamic combinatorial libraries, self-assembled DNA-based constructs, nucleoside analogues, and a deeper understanding of the reaction kinetics and distance requirements, based on hybridization with different architectures and N(Me)-oxyamine glycosylation, are currently underway in our laboratory.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)This review presents a comprehensive look at DNA-templated org. synthesis. In contrast to the approach commonly taken by chemists, nature controls chem. reactivity by modulating the effective molarity of highly dil. reactants through macromol.-templated synthesis. Nature's approach enables complex mixts. in a single soln. to react with efficiencies and selectivities that cannot be achieved in conventional lab. synthesis. DNA-templated org. synthesis (DTS) is emerging as a surprisingly general way to control the reactivity of synthetic mols. by using nature's effective-molarity-based approach. Recent developments have expanded the scope and capabilities of DTS from its origins as a model of prebiotic nucleic acid replication to its current ability to translate DNA sequences into complex small-mol. and polymer products of multistep org. synthesis. An understanding of fundamental principles underlying DTS has played an important role in these developments. Early applications of DTS include nucleic acid sensing, small-mol. discovery, and reaction discovery with the help of translation, selection, and amplification methods previously available only to biol. mols.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. Natural products have had an immense influence on science and have directly led to the introduction of many drugs. Org. chem., and its unique ability to tailor natural products through synthesis, provides an extraordinary approach to unlock the full potential of natural products. In this Review, an approach based on natural product derived fragments is presented that can successfully address some of the current challenges in drug discovery. These fragments often display significantly reduced mol. wts., reduced structural complexity, a reduced no. of synthetic steps, while retaining or even improving key biol. parameters such as potency or selectivity. Examples from various stages of the drug development process up to the clinic are presented. In addn., this process can be leveraged by recent developments such as genome mining, antibody-drug conjugates, and computational approaches. All these concepts have the potential to identify the next generation of drug candidates inspired by natural products.

(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press)A review. Since the structure of DNA was elucidated more than 50 years ago, Watson-Crick base pairing has been widely speculated to be the likely mode of both information storage and transfer in the earliest genetic polymers. The discovery of catalytic RNA mols. subsequently provided support for the hypothesis that RNA was perhaps even the first polymer of life. However, the de novo synthesis of RNA using only plausible prebiotic chem. has proven difficult, to say the least. Exptl. investigations, made possible by the application of synthetic and phys. org. chem., have now provided evidence that the nucleobases (A, G, C, and T/U), the trifunctional moiety ([deoxy]ribose), and the linkage chem. (phosphate esters) of contemporary nucleic acids may be optimally suited for their present roles - a situation that suggests refinement by evolution. Here, we consider studies of variations in these three distinct components of nucleic acids with regard to the question: Is RNA, as is generally acknowledged of DNA, the product of evolution. If so, what chem. and structural features might have been more likely and advantageous for a proto-RNA.

While reversibility is believed to have played a major role in early functional genetic materials, the authors previously reported an efficient DNA-templated ligation of suitably designed 5'-end boronic acid and 3'-end ribonucleosidic half-sequences. Here, the authors report the enzyme-free and activation-free DNA- and RNA-templated assembly of bifunctional hexamers. The reversible assembly is regio- and sequence specific and the stabilities of the resulting duplexes were compared to their nicked counterparts. To go further with the authors' understanding of this unprecedented process the authors also examd. an auto-templated duplex self-assembly representing a key step toward the evolution of sequence-defined synthetic polymers.

(Elsevier Science Ltd.)A general method for the stereoselective coupling of unprotected oligosaccharides with any substrate contg. a N,O-disubstituted hydroxylamine group is described. The cyclic nature of the oligosaccharide reducing unit is preserved and the substrate glycosylated with high diastereoselectivity to sugar through an amino (N[OR2]-) or an aminooxy (N[R1]-O-) linkage. Due to the uniquely high chem. reactivity and specificity of disubstituted hydroxylamine toward the sugar reducing end, neither protecting groups nor activation methods are required to perform the reaction in aq. soln. The characteristic features and the scope of this new type of glycosylation reaction are exemplified for the chemoselective synthesis of model glycopeptides.

(Elsevier Ltd.)Cardenolides such as digitoxin have been shown to inhibit cancer cell growth, to reduce cancer metastasis, and to induce apoptosis in tumor cells. Among the most potent digitoxin-based cytotoxins identified to date are MeON-neoglycosides generated via oxyamine neoglycosylation. Here, we report our studies of oxyamine neo-glycosylation aimed at facilitating the elucidation of linkage-diversified digitoxin neo-glycoside structure-activity relationships. We identified conditions suitable for the convenient synthesis of digitoxin neo-glycosides and found that sugar structure, rather than RON-glycosidic linkage, exerts the strongest influence on neo-glycoside yield and stereochem. We synthesized a library of digitoxin neo-glycosides and assessed their cytotoxicity against eight human cancer cell lines. Consistent with previous findings, our data show that the structure of RON-neo-glycosidic linkages influences both the potency and selectivity of digitoxin neo-glycosides.

(Oxford University Press)Glycan array development is limited by the complexity of efficiently generating derivs. of free reducing glycans with primary amines or other functional groups. A novel bi-functional spacer with selective reactivity toward the free glycan and a 2nd functionality, a primary amine, was synthesized. We demonstrated an efficient 1-step derivatization of various glycans, including naturally isolated N-glycans, O-glycans, milk oligosaccharides, and bacterial polysaccharides in microgram scale. No protecting group manipulations or activation of the anomeric center was required. To demonstrate its utility for glycan microarray fabrication, we compared glycans with different amine-spacers for incorporation onto an amine-reactive glass surface. Our study results revealed that glycans conjugated with this bi-functional linker were effectively printed and detected with various lectins and antibodies.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Ligation reactions at the anomeric center of carbohydrates have gained increasing importance in the field of glycobiol. Oxyamines are frequently used in labeling, immobilization, and bioconjugation of reducing carbohydrates. Herein, we present a systematic investigation of these ligation reactions under aq. conditions. A series of four unprotected monosaccharides (glucose, N-acetylglucosamine, mannose, and 2-deoxyglucose) and one disaccharide (N,N'-diacetylchitobiose) was reacted with three primary and one secondary oxyamine. We monitored the concns. of the starting materials and products by 1H NMR spectroscopy and detd. reaction times and equil. yields. Our expts. show that the outcome of the ligation reaction is not only dependent on the sugar and oxyamine used but also strongly on the reaction conditions. In the case of glucose, lowering the pH from 6 to 3 led to steadily increasing reaction rates, whereas the yields were decreasing at the same time. Variation of the temp. did not only influence the product ratio in equil. but can also have a strong impact on the equil. yield. In the case of reactions of a primary oxyamine, increased temps. led to a higher proportion of acyclic products. Reaction of the secondary oxyamine with glucose unexpectedly led to lower yields at higher temps.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)This review presents a comprehensive look at DNA-templated org. synthesis. In contrast to the approach commonly taken by chemists, nature controls chem. reactivity by modulating the effective molarity of highly dil. reactants through macromol.-templated synthesis. Nature's approach enables complex mixts. in a single soln. to react with efficiencies and selectivities that cannot be achieved in conventional lab. synthesis. DNA-templated org. synthesis (DTS) is emerging as a surprisingly general way to control the reactivity of synthetic mols. by using nature's effective-molarity-based approach. Recent developments have expanded the scope and capabilities of DTS from its origins as a model of prebiotic nucleic acid replication to its current ability to translate DNA sequences into complex small-mol. and polymer products of multistep org. synthesis. An understanding of fundamental principles underlying DTS has played an important role in these developments. Early applications of DTS include nucleic acid sensing, small-mol. discovery, and reaction discovery with the help of translation, selection, and amplification methods previously available only to biol. mols.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)A review. Natural products have had an immense influence on science and have directly led to the introduction of many drugs. Org. chem., and its unique ability to tailor natural products through synthesis, provides an extraordinary approach to unlock the full potential of natural products. In this Review, an approach based on natural product derived fragments is presented that can successfully address some of the current challenges in drug discovery. These fragments often display significantly reduced mol. wts., reduced structural complexity, a reduced no. of synthetic steps, while retaining or even improving key biol. parameters such as potency or selectivity. Examples from various stages of the drug development process up to the clinic are presented. In addn., this process can be leveraged by recent developments such as genome mining, antibody-drug conjugates, and computational approaches. All these concepts have the potential to identify the next generation of drug candidates inspired by natural products.

(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press)A review. Since the structure of DNA was elucidated more than 50 years ago, Watson-Crick base pairing has been widely speculated to be the likely mode of both information storage and transfer in the earliest genetic polymers. The discovery of catalytic RNA mols. subsequently provided support for the hypothesis that RNA was perhaps even the first polymer of life. However, the de novo synthesis of RNA using only plausible prebiotic chem. has proven difficult, to say the least. Exptl. investigations, made possible by the application of synthetic and phys. org. chem., have now provided evidence that the nucleobases (A, G, C, and T/U), the trifunctional moiety ([deoxy]ribose), and the linkage chem. (phosphate esters) of contemporary nucleic acids may be optimally suited for their present roles - a situation that suggests refinement by evolution. Here, we consider studies of variations in these three distinct components of nucleic acids with regard to the question: Is RNA, as is generally acknowledged of DNA, the product of evolution. If so, what chem. and structural features might have been more likely and advantageous for a proto-RNA.

(Royal Society of Chemistry)In the area of artificial genetics the development of non-enzymic self-organization of synthetic building blocks is crit. for both providing biopolymers with extended functions and understanding prebiotic processes. While reversibility is believed to have played a major role in early functional genetic materials, the authors previously reported an efficient DNA-templated ligation of suitably designed 5'-end boronic acid and 3'-end ribonucleosidic half-sequences. Here, the authors report the enzyme-free and activation-free DNA- and RNA-templated assembly of bifunctional hexamers. The reversible assembly is regio- and sequence specific and the stabilities of the resulting duplexes were compared to their nicked counterparts. To go further with the authors' understanding of this unprecedented process the authors also examd. an auto-templated duplex self-assembly representing a key step toward the evolution of sequence-defined synthetic polymers.

(Elsevier Science Ltd.)A general method for the stereoselective coupling of unprotected oligosaccharides with any substrate contg. a N,O-disubstituted hydroxylamine group is described. The cyclic nature of the oligosaccharide reducing unit is preserved and the substrate glycosylated with high diastereoselectivity to sugar through an amino (N[OR2]-) or an aminooxy (N[R1]-O-) linkage. Due to the uniquely high chem. reactivity and specificity of disubstituted hydroxylamine toward the sugar reducing end, neither protecting groups nor activation methods are required to perform the reaction in aq. soln. The characteristic features and the scope of this new type of glycosylation reaction are exemplified for the chemoselective synthesis of model glycopeptides.

(Elsevier Ltd.)Cardenolides such as digitoxin have been shown to inhibit cancer cell growth, to reduce cancer metastasis, and to induce apoptosis in tumor cells. Among the most potent digitoxin-based cytotoxins identified to date are MeON-neoglycosides generated via oxyamine neoglycosylation. Here, we report our studies of oxyamine neo-glycosylation aimed at facilitating the elucidation of linkage-diversified digitoxin neo-glycoside structure-activity relationships. We identified conditions suitable for the convenient synthesis of digitoxin neo-glycosides and found that sugar structure, rather than RON-glycosidic linkage, exerts the strongest influence on neo-glycoside yield and stereochem. We synthesized a library of digitoxin neo-glycosides and assessed their cytotoxicity against eight human cancer cell lines. Consistent with previous findings, our data show that the structure of RON-neo-glycosidic linkages influences both the potency and selectivity of digitoxin neo-glycosides.

(Elsevier B.V.)Alkoxyamino derivs. of oligosaccharides have been synthesized by enzymic synthesis using a glycosynthase and a transglycosidase. The chemoselective assembly of unprotected oligosaccharides bearing glucose at the reducing end with N-alkyl-O-benzylhydroxylamine provides sugar derivs. that are good acceptors for enzymic synthesis using either glycosynthase or transglycosidase. Furthermore, this method affords the possibility of controlling the regioselectivity of coupling depending on the nature of the alkoxyamino substituent and provides high-yield coupling of sugars without the need for complex protecting group chem.

(Oxford University Press)Glycan array development is limited by the complexity of efficiently generating derivs. of free reducing glycans with primary amines or other functional groups. A novel bi-functional spacer with selective reactivity toward the free glycan and a 2nd functionality, a primary amine, was synthesized. We demonstrated an efficient 1-step derivatization of various glycans, including naturally isolated N-glycans, O-glycans, milk oligosaccharides, and bacterial polysaccharides in microgram scale. No protecting group manipulations or activation of the anomeric center was required. To demonstrate its utility for glycan microarray fabrication, we compared glycans with different amine-spacers for incorporation onto an amine-reactive glass surface. Our study results revealed that glycans conjugated with this bi-functional linker were effectively printed and detected with various lectins and antibodies.

(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA)Ligation reactions at the anomeric center of carbohydrates have gained increasing importance in the field of glycobiol. Oxyamines are frequently used in labeling, immobilization, and bioconjugation of reducing carbohydrates. Herein, we present a systematic investigation of these ligation reactions under aq. conditions. A series of four unprotected monosaccharides (glucose, N-acetylglucosamine, mannose, and 2-deoxyglucose) and one disaccharide (N,N'-diacetylchitobiose) was reacted with three primary and one secondary oxyamine. We monitored the concns. of the starting materials and products by 1H NMR spectroscopy and detd. reaction times and equil. yields. Our expts. show that the outcome of the ligation reaction is not only dependent on the sugar and oxyamine used but also strongly on the reaction conditions. In the case of glucose, lowering the pH from 6 to 3 led to steadily increasing reaction rates, whereas the yields were decreasing at the same time. Variation of the temp. did not only influence the product ratio in equil. but can also have a strong impact on the equil. yield. In the case of reactions of a primary oxyamine, increased temps. led to a higher proportion of acyclic products. Reaction of the secondary oxyamine with glucose unexpectedly led to lower yields at higher temps.
