Demesmaeker et al., AMIDE BACKBONE MODIFICATIONS FOR ANTISENSE OLIGONUCLEOTIDES CARRYING POTENTIAL INTERCALATING SUBSTITUENTS - INFLUENCE ON THE THERMODYNAMIC STABILITY OF THE CORRESPONDING DUPLEXES WITH RNA-COMPLEMENT AND DNA-COMPLEMENT, Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 7(14), 1997, pp. 1869-1874
The synthesis of the amide dimers 3-5 carrying a potential intercalati
ng substituent on the nitrogen atom of the backbone is presented, toge
ther with the incorporation of these modifications into oligonucleotid
es, the resulting melting temperatures (T-m's) of the corresponding du
plexes with RNA- and DNA- complements and a summary of molecular model
ing studies. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
