Description

本発明は、ヌクレオシドホスホロアミダイト化合物に関する。更に詳細には、熱的安定性を有するA型RNA二重鎖を形成し得る中間体として用い得る、ヌクレオシドホスホロアミダイト化合物に関する。   The present invention relates to nucleoside phosphoramidite compounds. More particularly, the present invention relates to a nucleoside phosphoramidite compound that can be used as an intermediate capable of forming a type A RNA duplex having thermal stability.

オリゴヌクレオチドは、単鎖RNA又は単鎖DNAにハイブリダイズすることが知られている。ハイブリダイズする(ハイブリダイゼーション)とは、標的RNA又はDNAの塩基に対し、オリゴヌクレオチドの塩基が配列特異的な塩基対で水素結合することであり、そのように水素結合する場合、そのような塩基対は相補的であると言われる。   Oligonucleotides are known to hybridize to single stranded RNA or single stranded DNA. Hybridization (hybridization) means that a base of an oligonucleotide is hydrogen-bonded to a base of a target RNA or DNA by a sequence-specific base pair. The pair is said to be complementary.

相補的な核酸に対するオリゴヌクレオチドのハイブリダイゼーションの程度を決定する場合、相補的な核酸に結合するオリゴヌクレオチドの相対能力は、特定のハイブリダイゼーション複合体の融解温度を測定することによって確認することができる。融解温度(Tm)は、二重らせんに特徴的な物理特性であり、50%のらせん形(ハイブリダイズした)対コイル形(ハイブリダイズしていない)が存在する温度を意味する。   When determining the degree of hybridization of an oligonucleotide to a complementary nucleic acid, the relative ability of the oligonucleotide to bind to the complementary nucleic acid can be confirmed by measuring the melting temperature of a particular hybridization complex. . Melting temperature (Tm) is a physical property characteristic of a double helix and refers to the temperature at which 50% helical (hybridized) vs. coiled (unhybridized) is present.

A型構造と呼ばれているRNAが存在しているが、DNAは、通常はB型構造で存在しており、一般に、RNA−RNA二重鎖はDNA−DNA二重鎖よりも安定であるか、又はより高い融解温度(Tm)を有している。しかし、DNA−RNAハイブリッド二本鎖はRNA:RNA二重鎖よりも安定性が低く、それらの配列に依存して、DNAのDNA二本鎖よりも安定性が高かったり低かったりする。   Although there is RNA called A-type structure, DNA usually exists in B-type structure, and in general, RNA-RNA duplex is more stable than DNA-DNA duplex Or have a higher melting temperature (Tm). However, DNA-RNA hybrid duplexes are less stable than RNA: RNA duplexes and are more or less stable than DNA DNA duplexes depending on their sequence.

一方、mRNAやsiRNAから生じるとされるmiRNA等の機能性のRNAの細胞内における発現状態や、機能、塩基配列等を網羅的に解析するための技術として、DNAチップの利用が知られている。しかし、現状のDNAチップでは、特に短鎖であるsiRNAやmiRNAによって形成されるDNA−RNA二重鎖の熱的安定性が低いことから、これらの検出には不適当である。さらに、ターゲットとするRNAはDNAと比較して高次構造を形成しやすいため、あまり熱安定性の期待できないプローブでは、その高次構造を解きほぐすことができず、検出感度が低下するという問題がある。   On the other hand, the use of a DNA chip is known as a technique for exhaustively analyzing the expression state, function, base sequence, etc. of intracellular functional RNA such as miRNA that is supposed to be generated from mRNA or siRNA. . However, the current DNA chip is not suitable for the detection of these because the thermal stability of the DNA-RNA duplex formed by siRNA or miRNA which are short strands is particularly low. Furthermore, the target RNA is more likely to form a higher order structure than DNA, so that a probe that is not expected to have a very high thermal stability cannot unravel the higher order structure, resulting in a decrease in detection sensitivity. is there.

DNA二重鎖については、修飾核酸を用いることによる核酸二重鎖の安定化方法が開発されている。修飾核酸を用いた核酸二重鎖を安定化させるために有効な方法として、核酸の塩基部分にカチオン性側鎖を導入することにより、リン酸基上に生じる負電荷同士の静電的反発を減少させ、核酸二重鎖を安定化する技術が知られている(非特許文献1)。B型DNA二重鎖中にカチオン性側鎖を有する様々な修飾核酸が組み込まれ、その挙動が研究されてきているが、二重鎖安定化能を獲得したカチオン性側鎖を有する修飾核酸が存在するが、反対に二重鎖を不安定化するものも報告されている(非特許文献2)。   For DNA duplexes, methods for stabilizing nucleic acid duplexes by using modified nucleic acids have been developed. As an effective method for stabilizing nucleic acid duplexes using modified nucleic acids, the introduction of a cationic side chain into the base part of the nucleic acid prevents electrostatic repulsion between negative charges generated on the phosphate group. A technique for reducing and stabilizing nucleic acid duplexes is known (Non-patent Document 1). Various modified nucleic acids having cationic side chains have been incorporated into B-type DNA duplexes, and their behavior has been studied. Modified nucleic acids having cationic side chains that have acquired the ability to stabilize double strands On the other hand, the one that destabilizes the double chain has also been reported (Non-patent Document 2).

例えば、下記式(I)で表わされる化合物(デオキシウリジンのウラシル環の5位にアミノヘプチル基を有する化合物)をB型DNA二重鎖中に組み込んだ場合、デオキシウリジンが組み込まれたB型DNA二重鎖との融解温度の差(ΔTm値)は−0.1℃とほぼ同等である(非特許文献3)。また、下記式(II)で表わされる化合物(式(I)で表わされる化合物のウラシル環の5位の置換基のウラシル環に近い部位にアミノ基を導入した化合物)をB型DNA二重鎖中に組み込んだ場合、デオキシウリジンが組み込まれたB型DNA二重鎖との融解温度の差(ΔTm値)は−3.9℃となり、二重鎖は不安定化される(非特許文献2)。また、下記式(III)で表わされる化合物(デオキシウリジンのウラシル環の5位にアミノプロピル基を有する化合物)をB型DNA二重鎖中に組み込んだ場合、デオキシウリジンが組み込まれたB型DNA二重鎖との融解温度の差(ΔTm値)は−0.6℃となり、二重鎖は若干不安定化される(非特許文献4)。また、下記式(IV)で表わされる化合物(化合物(III)に比べ、ウラシル環の5位に結合した置換基が不飽和結合を有する化合物)をB型DNA二重鎖中に組み込んだ場合、デオキシウリジンが組み込まれたB型DNA二重鎖との融解温度の差(ΔTm値)は+2〜4℃であり、二重鎖形成が大幅に安定化される(非特許文献4)。   For example, when a compound represented by the following formula (I) (a compound having an aminoheptyl group at the 5-position of the uracil ring of deoxyuridine) is incorporated into a B-type DNA duplex, B-type DNA into which deoxyuridine is incorporated The difference in melting temperature from the duplex (ΔTm value) is almost equivalent to −0.1 ° C. (Non-patent Document 3). Further, a compound represented by the following formula (II) (a compound in which an amino group is introduced at a position close to the uracil ring of the substituent at the 5-position of the uracil ring of the compound represented by formula (I)) is converted into a B-type DNA duplex. When incorporated in, the difference in melting temperature (ΔTm value) from the B-type DNA duplex in which deoxyuridine is incorporated is −3.9 ° C., and the duplex is destabilized (Non-patent Document 2) ). In addition, when a compound represented by the following formula (III) (a compound having an aminopropyl group at the 5-position of the uracil ring of deoxyuridine) is incorporated into a B-type DNA duplex, B-type DNA into which deoxyuridine is incorporated The difference in melting temperature from the duplex (ΔTm value) is −0.6 ° C., and the duplex is slightly destabilized (Non-patent Document 4). In addition, when a compound represented by the following formula (IV) (a compound in which the substituent bonded to the 5-position of the uracil ring has an unsaturated bond as compared with the compound (III)) is incorporated into the B-type DNA duplex, The difference in melting temperature (ΔTm value) from the B-type DNA duplex incorporating deoxyuridine is +2 to 4 ° C., and the duplex formation is greatly stabilized (Non-patent Document 4).

上述したように、B型DNA二重鎖の場合は、二重鎖を安定化させるための側鎖等の修飾がある程度明らかになっているが、B型DNA二重鎖とは構造が異なる、A型RNA二重鎖についての報告はあまりないのが現状であり、A型RNA二重鎖の安定化を向上することのできる最適な修飾については未だに明らかとはなっていない。   As described above, in the case of a B-type DNA duplex, modification of side chains and the like for stabilizing the duplex has been clarified to some extent, but the structure is different from that of a B-type DNA duplex. There are currently few reports on the A-type RNA duplex, and the optimal modification that can improve the stabilization of the A-type RNA duplex has not yet been clarified.

一方、修飾核酸を用いることによる、B型DNAの安定な二重鎖を形成させる他の方法としては、2’水酸基が2’−O−アルキル化(メチル化、メトキシエチル化等)された修飾核酸や、核酸の2’位の酸素原子と4’位の炭素原子とを架橋して糖部コンフォメーションを化学的に固定化した修飾核酸等(BNA、ENA等)を用いることにより、糖部がA型RNA二重鎖を組み込みやすいコンホメーションををとり、安定な二重鎖を形成されることが知られている(非特許文献5、6及び7)。しかし、A型RNA二重鎖の安定化を狙った報告例は未だにあまりないのが現状である。   On the other hand, another method for forming a stable duplex of B-type DNA by using a modified nucleic acid is modification in which the 2 ′ hydroxyl group is 2′-O-alkylated (methylated, methoxyethylated, etc.) By using nucleic acids or modified nucleic acids (BNA, ENA, etc.) in which the sugar moiety conformation is chemically immobilized by crosslinking the 2′-position oxygen atom and the 4′-position carbon atom of the nucleic acid. Is known to adopt a conformation that facilitates incorporation of an A-type RNA duplex and to form a stable duplex (Non-Patent Documents 5, 6 and 7). However, there are currently few reports on the stabilization of A-type RNA duplexes.

実施例1
製造例1及び2、比較製造例1で得られたヌクレオシドホスホロアミダイト化合物を用いて、配列5’−CGUUUUUGC−3’(配列番号:1)の2’−O−メチル化された9量体中Uの部位に修飾核酸を組み込んだオリゴヌクレオチドを合成した。オリゴヌクレオチドの合成は、通常のホスホロアミダイト法によりABI392自動合成機(Applied Biosystems)により行い、固相担体からの切り出し、及び塩基部の脱保護操作を行った後、Sep−pak C18カートリッジカラムによりトリチルON簡易精製を行い、必要に応じて陰イオンHPCLによって更に精製を行った。合成した各オリゴヌクレオチドと、別途合成を行った相補鎖(配列5’−GCAAAAACG−3’(配列番号:2)又は5’−GCAAGAACG−3’(配列番号:3)とを混和し、溶液中二重鎖形成時に、二重鎖の濃度が2μMの濃度となるように、500μLのリン酸バッファー(10mMリン酸ナトリウム、pH7.0、150mM NaCl、0.1mM EDTA)に溶解させた測定試料を調整した。測定には、Pharma Spec UV−1700(島津製作所(株)製)を用いた。測定は、まず試料を80℃の温度に30分間保持し、オリゴヌクレオチドをランダムコイル状態とした後、1.0℃/分で温度を5℃まで変化させてアニーリングを行い、次いで、1.0℃/分の速度で昇温させて、1.0℃毎にUV吸光度を測定することにより行った。
測定により得られたUV吸光度を温度変化に対してプロットし、二重鎖融解曲線とした。Stavilzky−Golay法(25point)を用いて融解曲線をスムージングした後、曲線を一次微分することにより変曲点を求め変曲点を二重鎖融解温度(Tm値)とした。なお、二重鎖のアニーリング時の曲線から得られる値と二重鎖融解時の曲線から得られる値において、1.0℃以上値のずれが観測された場合には、各測定温度における系内の平衡が不完全であるとみなし、変温レートを0.5℃/分に変更する等、適宜条件を変更して再度測定を行った。
Example 1
Using the nucleoside phosphoramidite compounds obtained in Production Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Production Example 1, 2′-O-methylated 9 of sequence 5′-CGUUU * UUGC-3 ′ (SEQ ID NO: 1) An oligonucleotide incorporating a modified nucleic acid at the U * site in the monomer was synthesized. Oligonucleotides were synthesized by an ordinary ABI 392 synthesizer (Applied Biosystems) by the usual phosphoramidite method, cut out from the solid phase carrier, and deprotected at the base, and then separated by a Sep-pak C18 cartridge column. Trityl ON simple purification was performed, and further purification was performed with anion HPCL as necessary. Each synthesized oligonucleotide and a separately synthesized complementary strand (sequence 5′-GCAAAACG-3 ′ (SEQ ID NO: 2) or 5′-GCAAGACG-3 ′ (SEQ ID NO: 3)) are mixed and mixed in a solution. At the time of duplex formation, a measurement sample dissolved in 500 μL of phosphate buffer (10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.0, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1 mM EDTA) so that the concentration of the duplex becomes 2 μM. For the measurement, Pharma Spec UV-1700 (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) was used, and the measurement was performed by first holding the sample at a temperature of 80 ° C. for 30 minutes, and then setting the oligonucleotide in a random coil state. Annealing is performed by changing the temperature to 5 ° C. at 1.0 ° C./min, and then the temperature is increased at a rate of 1.0 ° C./min, and UV absorbance is measured every 1.0 ° C. It was carried out by.
The UV absorbance obtained by the measurement was plotted against the temperature change to obtain a double chain melting curve. After smoothing the melting curve using the Stabilzky-Golay method (25 points), the curve was linearly differentiated to obtain the inflection point, and the inflection point was defined as the double chain melting temperature (Tm value). In addition, in the value obtained from the curve at the time of annealing of the double chain and the value obtained from the curve at the time of melting the double chain, when a deviation of 1.0 ° C. or more is observed, The equilibrium was considered to be incomplete, and the measurement was performed again while changing the conditions as appropriate, such as changing the temperature change rate to 0.5 ° C./min.

比較製造例1で得られた化合物を用いてA型RNA二重鎖に組み込んだ場合、2’−O−メチルウリジンが組み込まれた場合と比較し、融解温度の差(ΔTm値)は−1.2℃であり、比較製造例1で得られた化合物をA型RNA二重鎖に組み込んだ場合でも二重鎖の安定化は認められなかった。製造例1で得られた化合物をA型RNA二重鎖に組み込んだ場合、2’−O−メチルウリジンが組み込まれた場合と比較し、融解温度の差(ΔTm値)は+3.2℃であり、A型RNA二重鎖が安定化されることがわかった。これは、二重鎖を歪ませることなく、アミノ基とリン酸基とが近づいていることを示し、A型RNA二重鎖を安定化させるためには、炭素数3のリンカーを導入することがよいことが示される。また、製造例2で得られた化合物をA型RNA二重鎖に組み込んだ場合、2’−O−メチルウリジンが組み込まれた場合と比較し、融解温度の差(ΔTm値)は+6.9℃であり、大幅にA型RNA二重鎖を安定化することが認められた。   When the compound obtained in Comparative Production Example 1 was incorporated into an A-type RNA duplex, the difference in melting temperature (ΔTm value) was −1 compared to the case where 2′-O-methyluridine was incorporated. The temperature was 2 ° C., and even when the compound obtained in Comparative Production Example 1 was incorporated into the A-type RNA duplex, duplex stabilization was not observed. When the compound obtained in Production Example 1 was incorporated into the A-type RNA duplex, the difference in melting temperature (ΔTm value) was + 3.2 ° C. compared to the case where 2′-O-methyluridine was incorporated. It was found that the A-type RNA duplex was stabilized. This indicates that the amino group and the phosphate group are close to each other without distorting the duplex, and in order to stabilize the A-type RNA duplex, a linker having 3 carbon atoms must be introduced. Is shown to be good. Further, when the compound obtained in Production Example 2 was incorporated into an A-type RNA duplex, the difference in melting temperature (ΔTm value) was +6.9 compared to the case where 2′-O-methyluridine was incorporated. It was observed that the temperature of the A-type RNA duplex was greatly stabilized.

Example 2
The Tm value when the base at the complementary position was G was subtracted from the Tm value when the base at the complementary position in Production Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Production Example 1 was A, and the value was defined as the base discrimination ability.

結果を図1に示す。図1は、塩基識別能力の測定結果を示すグラフであり、比較製造例1で得られたヌクレオシドホスホロアミダイト化合物においては、ΔTmA−Gは7.4℃であり、製造例1及び製造例2で得られたヌクレオシドホスホロアミダイト化合物においては、ΔTmA−Gは、それぞれ、8.1℃及び10.3℃であった。A型RNA二重鎖を安定化する修飾体においては、しばしば塩基識別能力が低下することが知られているが、本発明のヌクレオシドホスホロアミダイト化合物を用いた場合、塩基識別能力が低下せず、むしろ塩基識別能力が向上していることがわかった。 The results are shown in FIG. FIG. 1 is a graph showing measurement results of base discrimination ability. In the nucleoside phosphoramidite compound obtained in Comparative Production Example 1, ΔTm AG is 7.4 ° C., and Production Example 1 and Production Example In the nucleoside phosphoramidite compound obtained in 2, ΔTm AG was 8.1 ° C. and 10.3 ° C., respectively. It is known that in the modified form that stabilizes the A-type RNA duplex, the base discrimination ability is often lowered. However, when the nucleoside phosphoramidite compound of the present invention is used, the base discrimination ability is not lowered. Rather, it was found that the base discrimination ability was improved.
