Solid-phase synthesis of 5'-deoxy-5'-amino-clitocine analogues.

Several 6-substituted-amino-5'-deoxy-5'-amino-clitocine analogues were synthesized in a parallel fashion in solid phase. The desired scaffold was generated by coupling 2,3-O-bis-(t-butyldimethylsilyl)-5-N-(monomethoxytrityl-polystyrene-resin)-1,5-diamino-5-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranose and 4, 6-dichloro-5-nitropyrimidine. The scaffold was then reacted with a variety of amines to generate a small library of 14 analogues of 5'-deoxy-5'-amino-clitocine following a protocol developed earlier.

Solid-phase parallel synthesis of 4-beta-D-ribofuranosylpyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine nucleosides.

The synthesis of pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine nucleoside library using solid-phase parallel synthesis methodology is described. Glycosylation of the trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivative of 1- and 2-(methyl)-1H and 2H-pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidine-5,7-(4H, 6H)-dione (5) with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-D-ribofuranose in the presence of TMS triflate provided two novel protected nucleosides 6 and 7. The structures of 6 and 7 were assigned by 1H and 2D NMR experiments. Nucleosides 6 and 7 were then transformed to the key intermediates 12 and 15 respectively. Reaction of 12 and 15 with MMTCl resin in the presence of 2,6-lutidine afforded the necessary scaffolds B and C. Different amines (96) were introduced selectively by nucleophilic substitution on scaffolds B and C using solid-phase parallel semi-automated synthesizer. Cleavage of the products from the solid support with 30% HFIP in a parallel fashion yielded nucleoside libraries simultaneously, and they were analyzed and characterized by high-throughput LC-MS.

Synthesis of new 3'-, 5-, and N(4)-modified 2'-O-methylcytidine libraries on solid support.

A versatile solid phase combinatorial approach was developed and utilized for the rapid synthesis of new 2'-O-methylcytidine nucleoside libraries 1-7 containing 672 compounds with 3'-deoxy-3'-C-methyl, 3'-deoxy-3'-C-hydroxymethyl, and 5-alkyl/alkynyl modifications. The modified uridine scaffolds 8-10, 23-25, and 31 were loaded onto the 4-methoxytrityl chloride (MMT-Cl) polystyrene resin through the hydroxyl groups at the 5'-position as well as on the substituents at the 3'- and 5-positions. The scaffolds loaded on the resin were orthogonally protected by MMT group on the resin itself and TBDMS or acetyl protecting groups. The 4-position of the uridine derivatives was activated by 2,4,6-triisopropyl benzene sulfonyl chloride for further derivatization. The resins 14-16, 28-30, and 32 loaded with the corresponding activated scaffolds were reacted with the selected and validated amino building blocks in the 96 well format on the semiautomated synthesizer. The high-quality 2'-O-methylcytidine libraries 1-7 were thus generated and characterized by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis with 63-99% successful rates.
