侧链键接腺嘌呤的高分子核酸类似物对N-磷酰化氨基酸偶联尿苷反应的模板效应

将高分子核酸类似物聚甲基丙烯酸－β-（N^7－腺嘌呤基）乙酯加入到尿苷与N－（O,O′－二异丙基）－磷酰化丙氨酸的反应体系之中,研究其对此反应体系的影响。结果表明,聚甲基丙烯酸－β－（N^7－腺嘌呤基）乙酯参与了尿苷与磷酰化丙氨酸间的相互作用,并促进了具有较高离子密度、较大的流体动力学体积的大分子量产物及UpU,UpUpU等寡核苷酸片断的生成,表现出明显的模板效应,不含腺嘌呤的对应高分子则无此模板效应,聚甲基丙烯酸－β－（N^7－腺嘌呤基）乙酯对尿苷与N－（O,O′－二异丙基）－磷酰化丙氨酸反应的模板效应并不是由于其高分子主链引起的,而应归因于其侧链所挂的腺嘌呤碱基的存在,此效应对不同的核苷具有一定的特异性。

发酵虫草菌粉及产品指纹图谱建立及多指标成分分析

《中国药典》收载的发酵虫草菌粉产品的质量标准中,规定以鸟苷、腺苷、尿苷的含量作为评价相关产品质量的标准。但除此之外,还有许多其他的核苷类成分对发酵虫草菌粉质量控制的影响尚未被探讨。为探究发酵虫草菌粉及产品质控指标选择的合理性,采用超高效液相色谱-紫外检测法对19批发酵虫草菌粉及产品中9种核苷成分(尿嘧啶、胞苷、鸟嘌呤、尿苷、腺嘌呤、肌苷、鸟苷、胸苷、腺苷)进行了定量分析,建立了发酵虫草菌粉样品的指纹图谱,并结合统计学提供了一种分析指标性成分的方法。通过优化样品的提取方法,选择超声提取法制备19批发酵虫草菌粉及产品的供试液;采用Agilent Eclipse Plus C18色谱柱(150 mm×4.6 mm, 3.5 μm)进行色谱分析,以甲醇-水为流动相梯度洗脱,对方法的校正曲线、准确度、精密度、重复性和回收率进行了验证。结合对照品指认了指纹图谱中的9个核苷峰,并采用外标一点法测得了各核苷成分的含量。使用化学模式识别对指纹图谱中的共有峰进行分析,聚类分析和主成分分析得到了同样的分类结果:19批样品共分为5类,其中同一发酵虫草菌粉因工艺差异可分为2类,而心肝宝胶囊、百令胶囊、宁心宝胶囊则各单独分为1类。同时,使用主成分分析获得了各样品中的指标性成分,分别为尿苷、鸟苷、腺苷、腺嘌呤、尿嘧啶,并使用聚类分析再次进行确证,验证了指标性成分的合理性。

Development of diversified methods for chemical modification of the 5,6-double bond of uracil derivatives depending on active methylene compounds

The reaction of 5-halogenouracil and uridine derivatives 1 and 7 with active methylene compounds under basic conditions produced diverse and selective C-C bond formation products by virtue of the nature of the carbanions. Three different types of reactions such as the regioselective C-C bond formation at the 5- and 6-positions of uracil and uridine derivatives (products 2, 5, 8, 17, 20 and 21), and the formation of fused heterocycle derivatives 2,4-diazabicyclo[4.1.0]heptane (15) and 2,4-diazabicyclo-[4.1.0]nonane (16) via dual C-C bond formations at both the 5- and 6-positions were due to the different active methylene compounds used as reagents.     

Addition of difluorocarbene to 3',4'-unsaturated nucleosides: synthesis of 2'-deoxy analogues with a 2-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane framework

Treatment of protected 2'-deoxy-3',4'-unsaturated nucleosides derived from adenosine and uridine with difluorocarbene [generated from bis(trifluoromethyl)mercury and sodium iodide] gave fused-ring 2,2-difluorocyclopropane compounds. Stereoselective alpha-face addition to the dihydrofuran ring resulted from hindrance by the protected beta-anomeric nucleobases. A protected uracil compound was converted smoothly into the cytosine derivative via a 4-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) intermediate. Removal of the protecting groups gave new difluorocyclopropane-fused nucleoside analogues. The solid-state conformation of the nearly planar furanosyl ring in the uracil compound had a shallow 2E pucker, and a more pronounced 1E conformation was present in the furanosyl ring of the cytosine derivative.     

Derivatives of 2′,3′-dithiouridine and [1-β-D-(2,3-dithioxylofuranosyl)]uracil

The synthesis of 2′,3′-di-(4-tolylthio)uridine (5) and {1-β-(=D)-[2,3-di-(4-tolylthio)xylofuranosyl]}uracil (7) from (1-β-(=D)-lyxofuranosyl)uracil (3) and uridine, respectively, is described.     

Measurement of urinary pyrimidine bases and nucleosides by high-performance liquid chromatography

A rapid procedure for the isolation, separation, identification and measurement of urinary pyrimidine bases and nucleosides by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is presented. The initial isolation of these compounds from urine was accomplished with small disposable ion-exchange columns. HPLC was performed on a silica gel column with a mobile phase composed of methylene chloride, methanol and 1 M aqueous ammonium formate buffer. Peaks were recorded at both 254 nm and 280 nm and the response ratio was used in combination with the elution volume for compound identification. The minimum detectable amount (signal-to-noise ratio = 2) ranged from 0.2 ng for uracil to 2.2 ng for cytidine. Linearity and recovery for thymine, uracil, uridine, pseudouridine, orotic acid and orotidine added to urine was demonstrated over almost a 10(3) concentration range. The potential application of this method for the study of inborn errors in the urea cycle is discussed.     

Synthesis of 1-(2′-O-methyl-β-d-ribofuranosyl)-uracil (2′-O-methyluridine) and 3-(2′-O-methyl-β-d-ribofuranosyl)uracil

1-O-Acetyl-3,5-di-O-benzoyl-2-O-methyl-β-d-ribofuranose has been prepared in five steps from benzyl 2-O-methyl-β-d-ribopyranoside. Reaction of the furanose derivative with 2,4-bis-(trimethylsilyl)uracil in the presence of stannic chloride provides a new synthesis of 2′-O-methyl uridine and also yields the hitherto unknown 3-(2′-O-methyl-β-d-ribofuranosyl)uracil.     

A highly stereoselective samarium diiodide-promoted aldol reaction with 1'-phenylseleno-2'-keto nucleosides. Synthesis of 1'alpha-branched uridine derivatives

Since 1'-branched nucleosides are biologically important targets in medicinal chemistry, more efficient methods for preparing them are required. The 1'alpha-branched uridine derivatives were successfully synthesized via a samarium diiodide (SmI(2))-promoted aldol reaction. Treatment of the 1'alpha-phenylseleno-2'-ketouridine derivative 6, readily prepared from uridine, with SmI(2) at -78 degrees C in THF reductively cleaved the anomeric Se-C bond to generate the corresponding samarium enolate, which was highly stereoselectively condensed with aldehydes, such as PhCHO, MeCHO, i-PrCHO, or (CH(2)O)(n)(), to give the corresponding 1'alpha-1' 'S-branched products 12a-d. This is the first time an enolate has been generated by reductively cleaving a C-Se bond. The highly selective stereochemical results suggest that the aldol reaction proceeds via a chelation-controlled transition state. When an excess of aldehyde was used and the reaction mixture was gradually warmed, the tandem aldol-Tishchenko reaction proceeded to give the "arabino-type" nucleosides 14a-c, having a 2'-"up" hydroxyl and 1'alpha-1' 'S-branched chain. 1'alpha-Hydroxymethyluridine (21), which is the uracil version of the antitumor antibiotic angustmycin C, was synthesized from the aldol reaction product 10.     

Synthesis of a new class of uridine phosphorylase inhibitors

A new series of potent uridine phosphorylase inhibitors have been prepared from barbituric acid. Among them, 1-[(2-hydroxyethoxy)methyl]-5-)(m--benzyloxy)benzylbarbituric acid ( 37 , BBBA) is the most promising having a K_i value of 1.1 ± 0.2 nM with uridine phosphorylase from human liver. The new inhibitors are easily synthesized and are better inhibitors of human uridine phosphorylase than their uracil counterparts.     

Quality evaluation of Cordyceps through simultaneous determination of eleven nucleosides and bases by RP-HPLC

A new RP-HPLC method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of 11 nucleosides and bases, including adenosine, cordycepin, cytidine, guanosine, inosine, thymidine, uridine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and uracil in Cordyceps. Determination was achieved on a Zorbax 300SB C18 analytical column (4.6 x 250 mm id, 5 mm) using gradient elution with diode-array detection. All calibration curves showed good linearity (r2 > 0.9995) within the test ranges. The developed method was simple, rapid, and accurate, and showed good reproducibility for the quantification of 11 nucleosides and bases in natural and cultured Cordyceps with both intra- and inter-day variations of less than 1.8%. Furthermore, hierarchical clustering analysis based on the typical peaks of adenosine, cordycepin, and inosine in HPLC profiles from the 11 tested samples showed that natural and cultured Cordyceps were in different clusters, which could provide a means of discriminating between Cordyceps of different origins. Thus, adenosine, cordycepin, and inosine could be used as markers for quality control of Cordyceps.     

Combined use of Overhauser spectroscopy and NMR diffusion experiments for mapping the hydration structure of nucleosides: structure and dynamics of uridine in water

Complementary results from 13C intermolecular nuclear Overhauser effects (NOE), 1H-13C heteronuclear Overhauser spectroscopy (HOSEY) and 1H-NMR diffusion measurements were used for probing the structure of the first solvation shell of uridine in water. It is demonstrated that a cyclic dihydrate is formed. The two water molecules produce two hydrogen bonds with the two oxygen atoms from the pyrimidine ring and accept only one hydrogen bond from the amide proton. The dihydrate has only a short lifetime as compared with the rotational correlation time of the free nucleoside. The chemical exchange constant of the amide proton with water is then estimated by diffusion experiments. The results are consistent with previous data obtained for uracil in water and provide interesting information about water accessibility in nucleic acid bases.     

Microsolvation of uracil and its conjugate bases: a DFT study of the role of solvation on acidity

The effect of microsolvation on the deprotonation energies of uracil was examined using DFT. The structures of uracil and its N(1) and N(3) conjugate bases were optimized with zero to six associated water molecules. Multiple configurations (upward of 93) of these hydrated clusters were located at PBE1PBE/6-311+G(d,p). Trends in these geometries are discussed, with the waters generally forming chains with small numbers of waters (one-three), rings (three-five waters), or cages (five-six waters). The difference in energy between the N1 and N3 conjugate bases is 13 kcal mol(-1) in the gas phase, and it decreases with each added water up to four. At this point the energy difference has been halved, but addition of a fifth or sixth water has little effect on the energy difference. This is understood in terms of the water structures and their ability to stabilize the negatively charged atoms in the conjugate bases.
