Synthesis and Properties of Dinucleoside Monophosphates Containing 2-Aminoadenine 8,2′-S- and Uracil 6,2′-O-Cyclonucleosides

Abstract
Two sequence isomers of dinucleoside monophosphates containing 8,2′-anhydro-2,6-diamino-8-mercapto-9-β-D-arabinofuranosylpurine (2NH2As) and 6,-anhydro-6-hydroxy-1-ß-D-arabinofuranosyluracil (Uo), 2NH2As pUo (1) and Uo p2NH2As (2) were synthesized by the phosphodiester method. Examination of the UV, CD and NMR spectra of these dimers led us to the conclusion that, whereas compound (1) did not take a stacked conformation, compound (2) took a well stacked conformation in which the bases were stacked along a left-handed screw axis. Both the dimers formed a complex with ethidium bromide.
