Description

CALIX[4]ARENE-NUCLEOSIDE AND CALIX[4]ARENE-OLIGONUCLEOTIDE HYBRIDS
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to calix[4]arene-nucleoside hybrids containing calix[4]arene moieties and to calix[4]arene-oligonucleotide hybrids synthesized as DNA hairpin structure mimics using the calix[4]arene-nucleoside hybrids.
Background of the Invention
Preorganization and cooperativeness of multifunctional groups play a major role in biological reaction kinetics (A. R. Fersht, Trends Biochem. Sci. 28, 3111, 1987). Calix[4]arene is proposed as a promising host molecule due to the directional preorganization of functional binding groups and its capacity to cooperate the guest binding site rapidly by low energy conformational change (T. Harade, J. M. et al., Tetrahedron 49, 5941, 1993; J. Scheerder, et al., Angew. Chem. 108, 1172, 1996; Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 35, 1090, 1996). Accordingly, it has been utilized as a building block for multifunctional enzyme models (P. Molenveld, et al., /. Am. Chem. Soc. 120, 6726, 1998). Recently, calix[4]arenes have been coupled with sugars (A. Dondoni, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 42, 3295, 2001), amico acids (L. Frkanec, et al., Chem. Eur. J. 6, 442, 2000) and peptides (Y. Hamuro, et al., Angew. Chem. 109, 2797, 1997) to develop biologically active synthetic receptors or enzyme mimics. However, modified oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing calix[4]arene moieties are unprecedented.
The present inventors have endeavored to develop modified ODNs containing calix[4]arene moieties which can function as DNA haiφin structure mimics. Summary of the Invention
Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide calix[4]arene-nucleoside hybrids that may be used in the construction of calix[4]arene-oligonucleotide hybrids which can recognize oligonucleotides through interaction with biologically active compounds.
In accordance with one aspect ofthe present invention, there is provided a calix[4]arene-nucleoside hybrid containing at least one nucleoside attached to a calix[4]arene moiety through amide bonding, said moiety being derived from a calix[4]arene having one or more amino groups.
In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a calix[4]arene-oligonucleotide hybrid having a moiety derived from the calix[4]arene-nucleoside hybrid and one or more nucleotide sequences respectively attached to the two nucleoside residue thereof.

Detailed Description of the Invention
The present invention provides a calix[4]arene-nucleoside hybrid containing a calix[4]arene moiety as well as a calix[4]arene-oligonucleotide hybrid which mimics a DNA haiφin structure which is synthesized by using the calix[4]arene-nucleoside hybrid as a key building block.

The inventive calixnucleoside and calixoligonucleotide hybrids are novel compounds and the calixoligonucleotide is a modified oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) that has various structural advantages: it has a certain level of both rigidity and flexibility; it is stable in vivo and it has high cell permeability. Also, the inventive calixoligonucleotide can be easily mass-produced. Therefore, the inventive calixoilgonucleotide is useful as a haiφin type ODN which can recognize DNA or RNA through triplex formation (E. T. Kool, Ace. Chem. Res. 31, 502, 1998; S. Wang, et al., Biochemistry 34, 9774, 1995; E. Azhayeva, et al, Nucleic Acid Res. 23, 1170, 1995). ODNs have been shown to inhibit translation and transcription by binding to either single strand mRNA (antisense strategy) or double strand DNA (antigene strategy) (P. C. Zamecnik, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 75, 280, 1978; E. Uhlmann, et al., Chem. Rev. 90, 543, 1990). Effectuation of this idea in combating cancer and AIDS seems promising (A. D. Matteucci, et al., Nature 384, 20, 1996; D. H. Barton, et al., Tetrahetron Lett. 30, 4969, 1989). Therefore, the inventive calixnucleoside and calixoligonucleotide hybrids can be used for DNA sensor or gene therapy.
Also, the present invention provides a method for the preparation of calixnucleoside and calixoligonucleotide hybrids.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is described the synthetic details of four calixnucleoside hybrids using thymidine derivatives as nucleosides in Scheme 1.
<Scheme 1>
Figure imgf000007_0001
The key step ofthe calixnucleoside synthesis is the amide bond formation between the amine groups of calix[4]arene of formula 7 and the carboxylic acid group of thymidine nucleoside of formula 6 or 8.
For the activation of the 5 '-acid functionality of the thymidine derivative of formula 6 (D. H. Barton, et al., Tetrahedron Lett. 30, 4969, 1989) in step (a) of Scheme 1, various peptide coupling reagents, such as (COCl)2, EDC (l-(3- dimethylaminoρropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride), TBC (2,4,6- trichlorobenzoylchloride) and TBTU (0-benzotriazole-l-yl-N,N,N',N'- tetramethyluronium tefrafluoroborate) can be used. For example, the use of TBTU provides a product having two identical thymidine residues (homo-coupled product), calixnucleoside of formula 3 in yield of 95%.
The thymidine derivative of formula 8 (J. Lebreton, et al., Synlett. 137,
1994; J. Y. Kim, et al, Nucleodises, Nucleotides & Nucleic Acids 19, 637, 2000) may also be reacted with the l,3-diaminocalix[4]arene compound of formula 7 (D. M. Rudkevich, et al., J. Org. Chem. 59, 3683, 1994) in a similar fashion (step c) to obtain the homo-coupled calixnucleoside of formula 4.
The calixnucleosides of formula 1 and 2 having two different thymidine residues (hetero-coupled products) may be synthesized with the mono-coupled calixnucleoside of formula 5 prepared as in step (b) by coupling the thymidine derivative of formula 6 (1.2 equiv) with l,3-diaminocalix[4]arene of formula 7. Calixnucleoside of formula 2 is then produced by coupling the thymidine derivative of formula 8 with the mono-coupled calixnucleoside of formula 5 in step (d).
In step (e) of Scheme 1, the deprotected calixnucleoside of formula 1 may be prepared by removing R and R' from the calixnucleoside of formula 2 by the action of tetrabutylammonium fluoride.
The physical characteristics of the inventive calixnucleosides of formula 1 to 4 have been determined by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR, 1H- NMR, 13C-NMR, UV, X-ray crystallography, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), and circular dichroism (CD).
X-ray diffraction grade single crystals of the inventive calixnucleoside of formula 4 are grown by slowly evaporating a MeOH solution of the compound.
The X-ray crystal structure confirms the structural assignment of the inventive calixnucleoside, and suggests that the two thymidine moieties are located in the same direction forming a U-shaped structure (see Fig 1).
A calixoligonucleotide that mimics a DNA haiφin may be readily prepared by using the inventive calixnucleoside, e.g., by the following method.
First, a DMTr protected 2-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite building block of calixnucleoside of formula 1 is prepared and applied directly to solid phase oligonucleotide synthesis protocols on the PerSeptive Biosystems 8909
Expedite™ Nucleic Acid Synthesis System (M. J. Gait, Oligonucleotide Synthesis
A Practical Approach. IRL Press, Oxford, Chapter 4, 1984). This provides as a
DNA haiφin structure mimic, a modified ODN containing calixnucleoside of formula 1 in the middle of the sequence. The inventive calixoligonucleotide thus synthesized is designated oligo 1 and it has the sequence of 5'-Aι2-X-Tι2-3' (SEQ ID NO. 1, X denotes the calixnucleoside 1), which is depicted schematically in Structural formula 1 (see Fig. 2).
<Structural Formula 1>
Figure imgf000009_0001
DMTr cleavage data ofthe above calixoligonucleotide have confirmed the attachment of the nucleotides to the calixnucleoside shown in Fig. 3. The inventive calixoligonucleotide may be purified by PAGE and reverse-phase
HPLC, and the molecular weight thereof has been determined by matrix-assisted laser desoφtion/ionization time of fright (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry to be
8,539 (m/e).
Further, other calixoligonucleotide have been synthesized and purified: oligo 2 having the sequence of 5'-Tι2-X-Tι2-3' (SEQ ID NO. 2, X denotes the calixnucleoside 1) and oligo 3 having the sequence of 5'-AAAAGATATCAA-X- TTGACATCTTTT-3' (SEQ ID NO. 3, X denotes the calixnucleoside 1). Oligos 2 and 3 are depicted in Structural formula 2 and 3, respectively, and their molecular weights are determined to be 8,453 and 8,556 (m/e), respectively, by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. <Structural Formula 2>
Figure imgf000010_0001
<Structural Formula 3>
Figure imgf000010_0002
To verify the haiφin structure of the inventive calixoligonucleotide, the thermal denaturation behavior of oligo 1 has been examined by UV spectroscopy. The absorbance (at λ26o)-temperature plot is Fig. 4 shows a sigmoidal shape, wherein the midpoint corresponds to Tm value (40 °C ) of the duplex. Thus, oligo 1 is confirmed to have a double helix structure formed through hydrogen bonding between complementary nucleo-bases (A and T), and hence, a DNA haiφin structure. Further evidence comes from CD spectrum of the inventive calixoligonucleotide (see Fig. 5). It has a positive band centred at 281 nm, a negative band centred at 249 nm, and the zero being around 260 nm. These CD data exhibit the distinct characteristics of B-form DNA (A. Rodger, et al., Circular Dichroism & Linear Dichroism; Oxford: Oxford University Press, pp. 24-29, 1997) and indicate that the inventive calixoligonucleotide adopts a DNA haiφin structure.
The following Examples and Test Examples are given for the puφose of illustration only, and are not intended to limit the scope ofthe invention.

As illustrated in Fig. 1, X-ray crystal data confirmed the structural assignment ofthe inventive calixnucleoside.
Example 3: Synthesis of calixoligonucleotide having a DNA hairpin structure (Step 1) Preparation of 2-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite building block
DMTr protected 2-cyanoethyl phosphoroamidite building block of calixnucleoside 1 was prepared by the method according to Agrawal, S. (Methods in Molecular Biology Protocols foroligonucleotides and analogs; synthesis and properties. Totowa, New Jersey p42, 1993); as follows.
Calixnucleoside 1 (325 mg, 0.289 mmol) was mixed with DMTr-Cl (221 mg, 0.650 mmol), Et3N (91 μl, 0.65 mmol), pyridine (10 ml), and reacted at room temperature for 6 hour to obtain DMTr protected calixnucleoside 1. After the DMTr protected calixnucleoside (129 mg, 0.09 mmol) was dissolved in THF 5 ml, DIPEA (22 μl, 0.14 mmol) was added thereto. The mixture was agitated at room temperature for 30 min, 24.2 μl of chloro[diisopropylamino]-β- cyanoethoxyphospine (0.16 mmol) was added thereto, and reacted for 1 hour to obtain DMTr protected 2-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite building block in 74%> yield.
(Step 2) Synthesis of calixoligonucleotide hybrid
The DMTr protected 2-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite building block synthesized in Step 1 was applied to solid phase oligonucleotide synthesis protocols on the PerSeptive Biosystems 8909 Expedite™ Nucleic Acid Synthesis System (M. J. Gait, Oligonucleotide Synthesis A Practical Approach. IRL Press, Oxford, Chapter 4, 1984). To mimic on DNA haiφin structure, a modified ODN containing calixnucleoside 1 in the middle of sequence was synthesized. The calixoligonucleotide thus synthesized has the sequence of 5'-Aι2-X-Tι2-3' (SEQ ID NO. 1, X denotes the calixnucleoside 1), and the structure shows below (Fig. 2): <Structural Formula 1>
Figure imgf000016_0001
As illustrated in Fig. 3, DMTr cleavage data confirmed that the inventive calixoligonucleotide prepared above had the identified nucleotides attached to the calixnucleoside. The inventive calixoligonucleotide was loaded on 20 X 20 cm PAGE gel and subjected to successive runnings at 200 V for 8 hour and 300 V for 2 hour. The gel was dissolved in 7 ml of distilled water and extracted at 30°C, 200 rpm for 12 hour. The gel was removed by filtering, and the extract solution was concentrated by distillation. The residue was then dissolved in 1 ml of distilled water, and purified by reverse-phase HPLC (conditions: column 10 mm X 250 mm ODS; CH3CN/0.1 M, TEAA=95/5 solution A; CH3CN/0.1 M, TEAA=50/50 solution B; 0-10, 10-10, 20-100, 25-100, 30-10 of gradient (min- % of solution B); 3 β/min of flow rate; 20-24 min of retention time). The molecular weight of the purified calixoligonucleotide was determined by matrix- assisted laser desoφtion/ionization time of fright (MALDI-TOF MS, substrate: 3- hydroxypicolic acid, Positive Mode) mass spectrometry to be 8,539 (m/e).
Example 4: Structural analysis of calixoligonucleotide (4-1) Thermal denaturation experiment
To verify the haiφin structure of the inventive calixoligonucleotide (oligo 1), a thermal denaturation experiment was carried: The calixoligonucleotide (0.35 OD, 10.5 μg) was dissolved in 10 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.2, [NaCl]=1.0 M), heated at 75 °C for 5 min, and slowly cooled to room temperature. Then, the change in the absorbance at 260 nm with temperature was monitored with a UV spectrophotometer (UV-2501PC Spectrophotometer, Shimazu).
As shown in Fig. 4, the curve of obtained by plotting absorbance against temperature reveals a sigmoidal shape, wherein the midpoint represents Tm value (40 °C) ofthe duplex.
(4-2) CD spectrum analysis
CD spectrum (circular dichroism spectrum) analysis was performed with a spectropolarimeter (Jasco J715 Spectropolarimeter) under the condition of pH 7.0, 10 mM Tris-HCl buffer, 100 mM NaCl and 20 mM MgCl2.
The result in Fig. 5 provides a strong evidence for double helix formation through hydrogen bonding between complementary nucleo-bases (A and T) and DNA haiφin structure of the calixoligonucleotide. Further, the CD spectrum of the calixoligonucleotide shows a positive band centred at 281 nm, a negative band centred at 249 nm, and the zero being around 260 nm. These are distinct characteristics of B-form DNA (A. Rodger, et al, Circular Dichroism & Linear Dichroism; Oxford: Oxford University Press, pp. 24-29, 1997) and suggest that the inventive calixoligonucleotide is indeed of a DNA haiφin structure.
While the embodiments of the subject invention have been described and illustrated, it is obvious that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the spirit of the present invention which should be limited only by the scope ofthe appended claims.
