- Flow-Synthesis of Nucleosides Catalyzed by an Immobilized Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase from Aeromonas hydrophila: Integrated Systems of Reaction Control and Product Purification
-
A purine nucleoside phosphorylase from Aeromonas hydrophyla (AhPNP) was covalently immobilized in a pre-packed stainless steel column containing aminopropylsilica particles via Schiff base chemistry upon glutaraldehyde activation. The resulting AhPNP-IMER (Immobilized Enzyme Reactor, immobilization yield ≈50%) was coupled on-line through a 6-way switching valve to an HPLC apparatus containing an analytical or a semi-preparative chromatographic column. The synthesis of five 6-modified purine ribonucleosides was carried out by continuously pumping the reaction mixture through the AhPNP-IMER until the highest conversion was reached, and then directing the reaction mixture to chromatographic separation. The conditions of the AhPNP-catalyzed transglycosylations (2:1 ratio sugar donor:base acceptor; 10 mM phosphate buffer; pH 7.5; temperature 37 °C, flow rate 0.5 mL min-1) were optimized by a fractional factorial experimental design. Coupling the bioconversion step with the product purification in such an integrated platform resulted in a fast and efficient synthetic process (yield=52-89%; 10 mg) where sample handling was minimized. To date, AhPNP-IMER has retained completely its activity upon 50 reactions in 10 months.

- High-throughput five minute microwave accelerated glycosylation approach to the synthesis of nucleoside libraries
-
The Vorbrueggen glycosylation reaction was adapted into a one-step 5 min/130 °C microwave assisted reaction. Triethanolamine in acetontrile containing 2% water was determined to be optimal for the neutralization of trimethylsilyl inflate allowing for direct MPLC purification of the reaction mixture. When coupled with a NH3/methanol deprotection reaction, a high-throughput method of nucleoside library synthesis was enabled. The method was demonstrated by examining the ribosylation of 48 nitrogen containing heteroaromatic bases that included 25 purines, four pyrazolopyrimidines, two 8-azapurines, one 2-azapurine, two imidazopyridines, two benzimidazoles, three imidazoles, three 1,2,4-triazoles, two pyrimidines, two 3-deazapyrimidines, one quinazolinedione, and one alloxazine. Of these, 32 yielded single regioisomer products, and six resulted in separable mixtures. Seven examples provided inseparable regioisomer mixtures of -two to three compounds (16 nucleosides), and three examples failed to yield isolable products. For the 45 single isomers isolated, the average two-step overall yield ± SD was 26 ± 16%, and the average purity ± SD was 95 ± 6%. A total of 58 different nucleosides were prepared of which 15 had not previously been accessed directly from glycosylation/deprotection of a readily available base.

- Methylation study of ribonucleosides, deoxyribonucleosides, and 2′-O-methylribonucleosides with trimethylsulphonium hydroxide and trimethylsulphonium iodide. Influence of the 2′-hydroxy-groups on the reactivity of the base moieties of ribonucleosides
-
Methylations of the naturally occuring ribonucleoside (1), deoxyribonucleoside (2), and 2′-O-methylribonucleoside (3) were carried out using trimethylsulphonium hydroxide (Me3SOH) and trimethylsulphonium iodide (Me3Sl). The base moiety of (2) and (3) are more reactive than the corresponding base moiety of (1). The sites and extent of methylation of (2) are considerably different from those of (1), but are almost identical with those of (3). The reactivities of (1)-(3) are discussed in connection to an intramolecular interaction of the 2′-OH groups with the base moiety of (1). The methylating characteristics of Me 3SOH and Me3Sl are also described. The kinetics indicate an SN2 mechanism for methylation of nucleosides by Me 3S+ ions.

- Methylation of Nucleosides with Trimethylsulfonium Hydroxide. Effects of Transition Metal Ions
-
The effect of transition metal acetylacetonates on the methylation of ribo- and deoxyribonucleosides with trimethylsulfonium hydroxide was studied.With ribonucleosides the metal complexes promoted O'-methylation at the 2' and 3' positions of the ribosyl group.A comparable effect was not observed in methylation of deoxyribonucleosides.These results are attributed to an increase in the nucleophilicity of the 2'-OH and 3'-OH groups of the ribosides through complex formation with the metal ion; such a complex cannot form with the deoxyribose derivatives.The activity of the metal ions studied for promoting this O'-methylation increased in the order Mn2+ 2+ = Zn2+ 2+ 2+ 3+.These M(AA)n also suppressed N-methylation of the purine and pyrimidine rings of adenosine and cytidine.It is suggested that this result may be caused by coordination of the metal ions with ring nitrogens.
