2'-Deoxyisoguanosine, isosteric analogues and isoguanosine derivatives of formulae I-V, processes for their production via compounds of the general formulae a or b and reaction with aroyl isocyanates or from compounds of the general formulae VI-IX by photochemical irradiation. A further production process is the conversion of deoxyguanosines or guanosines by means of persilylation, reaction with ammonia and deamination in the 2 position. The compounds are suitable as pharmaceutical agents with antiviral efficacy.

Compounds of the general formula Ia and Ib are described ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are the same or different and represent hydrogen, straight-chain or branched C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 lower alkyl or an aryl group optionally substituted by electron-withdrawing groups, R.sup.3 denotes a cleavable group, W is hydrogen, halogen or a pseudohalogen and at least one of the groups R.sup.4 or R.sup.5 is a group stabilizing the dioxetane structure and at most one of the groups R.sup.4 or R.sup.5 represents hydrogen and X or Y represents oxygen, N-R or C(R).sub.2 in which R has the meanings stated for R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 or represents a mesomeric double bond or a carbonyl group and n denotes the number 0 or 1 and m denotes the number 1 or 2, as well as a process for their production. These compounds are new and can be used as substrates in immunological assays and in DNA diagnostics using activating agents for colour formation.
摘要:
The invention concerns new cationic or polycationic amphiphiles which are capable of forming aggregates with macromolecules, in particular with DNA or RNA, and it concerns their delivery into prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells. Compounds with spermyl-dioleoyloxypropyl structure have proven to be particularly preferable.
摘要:
Process for the production of oligonucleotides of formula II, in which the exocyclic amino groups of the bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, 7-deazaadenine and 7-deazaguanine carry N-phenylacetyl groups, are used for oligonucleotide synthesis, wherein in a first step a starting nucleotide is bound to a solid carrier, subsequently the desired oligonucleotide is synthesized by stepwise coupling with appropriately activated further monomeric nucleotide building blocks of the general formula I with the above-mentioned meanings, if desired, trivalent phosphorus is oxidized to pentavalent phosphorus during and after the synthesis, the oligonucleotide is cleaved from the carrier and the 5' protecting groups are cleaved off. The phenylacetyl functional groups that protect exocyclic NH.sub.2 groups of the bases can be cleaved off in a mild way with penicillin amidohydrolase (EC 3.5.1.11).
摘要:
A mutant of PQQ-dependent soluble glucose dehydrogenase (s-GDH; EC 1.1.5.2) is provided with improved specificity for glucose as compared to maltose, having a substitution of threonine at position 348 by either glycine, alamine or serine, wherein said mutant additionally comprises, at least one mutation for improving the stability of the mutant and one or more mutation(s) for improving the affinity of the mutant to glucose, and/or one or more mutation(s) for further improving the specificity of the mutant for glucose as compared to maltose, and wherein position 348 correspond to the amino acid positions known from the A. calcoaceticus s-GDH wild-type sequence. Also disclosed are genes encoding such mutant s-GDH, and different applications of these s-GDH mutants, particularly for determining the concentration of glucose in a sample.
摘要:
The present invention is related to compounds comprising six-membered rings capable of being incorporated into nucleic acids. Particularly, the six-membered ring is a derivative of cyclohexane, cyclohexene, tetrahydropyran, tetrahydrothiopyran or piperidine. These compounds may be used to build up oligomeric compounds. The invention is further related to uses of these oligomeric compounds for hybridization and as probes. In addition, methods for the detection of nucleic acids are provided wherein the oligomeric compounds are used.
