Received: 1 May 2019; Accepted: 14 May 2019; Published: 15 May 2019 Abstract: We have developed a robust solid-phase protocol which allowed the synthesis of chimeric oligonucleotides modified with phosphodiester and O-methylphosphonate linkages as well as their P-S and P-N variants. The novel O-methylphosphonate-derived modifications were obtained by oxidation, sulfurization, and amidation of the O-methyl-(H)-phosphinate internucleotide linkage introduced into the oligonucleotide chain by H-phosphonate chemistry using nucleoside-O-methyl-(H)-phosphinates as monomers. The H-phosphonate coupling followed by oxidation after each cycle enabled us to successfully combine H-phosphonate and phosphoramidite chemistries to synthesize diversely modified oligonucleotide strands. Keywords: H-phosphinate; H-phosphonate; phosphoramidite; oligonucleotide; phosphonate; phosphorothioate; phosphonothioate; phosphoramidate; phosphonamidate 1. Introduction Recently,we published a detailed study on the influence of the incorporation of 20-deoxy-nucleoside 30-O- and 50-O-methylphosphonate units on the hybridization properties of modified DNA strands and on their ability to elicit E. coli RNase H activity in heteroduplexes [1]. Although the insertion of the bridging –CH2– group into the phosphodiester linkage should increase the total entropy of the system due to an additional degree of freedom, leading to duplex destabilization, only the incorporation of 30-O-methylphosphonate units into the DNA strand decreased the stability of the appropriate heteroduplexes. In contrast, the presence of 50-O-methylphosphonate units slightly stabilized the modifDNA*RNA heteroduplexes. These oligonucleotides, known as MethylPhosphonate Nucleic Acids (MePNA), when they contained various ratios of nucleoside-50-phosphate and 50-O-methyl-phosphonate units in an alternating mode exhibited superior enhancement of the RNase H cleavage rate. To improve the synthesis of MePNA, we developed the straightforward synthesis of nucleoside-O-methyl-(H)-phosphinates and 50-deoxynucleoside-50-S-methyl-(H)-phosphinates [2,3] that were closely related to the well-known nucleoside H-phosphonates, [4,5] and demonstrated their compatibility with the H-phosphonate chemistry of the oligonucleotide synthesis. Recently, Herdewijn [6] has exploited this methodology to introduce various nucleoside phosphonates into oligonucleotides. In this study, we present the extension of our methodology on the synthesis of modified oligonucleotides by a combination of phosphoramidite and H-phosphonate chemistries using nucleoside phosphoramidite, and H-phosphonate 1, nucleoside-O-methyl-(H)-phosphinate, and Molecules 2019, 24, 1872; doi:10.3390/molecules24101872 www.mdpi.com/journal/molecules Molecules 2019, 24, 1872 2 of 12 Molecules 2019, 24, x FOR PEER REVIEW 2 of 11 50-deoxynucleoside-50-S-methyl-(H)-phosphinate monomers 2 as building blocks (Figure1), respectively.respectively.

Abstract A series of sulfonyl-containing 5-fluoro-2´-deoxyuridine (FdU) phosphotriester and phosphoramidate analogues were designed and synthesized as anticancer prodrugs of FdUMP. Stability studies have demonstrated that these compounds underwent pH dependent β-elimination to liberate the corresponding nucleotide species with half-lives in the range of 0.33 to 12.23 h under model physiological conditions in 0.1M phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 and 37 °C. Acceleration of the elimination was observed in the presence of human plasma. Compounds with FdUMP moiety (4-9) were considerably more potent than those without (1-3) as well as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) against Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (V-79 cells) in vitro. Addition of thymidine (10 µM) reversed the growth inhibition activities of only 5-FU and the compounds with FdUMP moiety, but had no effect on those without. These results suggested a mechanism of action of the prodrugs involving the intracellular release of FdUMP. Introduction 5-Fluoro-2´-deoxyuridine-5´-monophosphate (FdUMP) is the major metabolite responsible for the anticancer activity of 5-FU (Chart 1).

Murtadha All rights reserved 2020 iii ABSTRACT ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS OF ORGANOPHOSPHATES AND THEIR DERIVATIVES Name: Murtadha, Batool J. University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Jeremy Erb Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) are widely used in the agricultural industry especially in the pesticide market. Phosphates play a huge role as biological compounds in the form of energy carrier compounds like ATP, and medicine as antivirals. OPs have become increasingly important as evidenced by the publication of new methods devoted to their uses and synthesis. These well-established studies lay the basis for industrial organic derivatives of phosphorus preparations. The current work explored methods of synthesizing chiral organophosphate triesters. We experimented with different processes roughly divided into either an electrophilic or nucleophilic strategy using chiral Lewis acids, organocatalysts (HyperBTM), activating agents, and chiral auxiliaries with the goal of control stereoselectivity. These methods were explored through the use of different starting materials like POCl3, triethyl phosphate, methyl phosphordichloradate, and PSCl3.

  • The Hydrolysis of Phosphinates and Phosphonates: a Review

The hydrolysis may take place both under acidic and basic conditions, but the C-O bond may also be cleaved by trimethylsilyl halides. The hydrolysis of P-esters is a challenging task because, in most cases, the optimized reaction conditions have not yet been explored. Despite the importance of the hydrolysis of P-esters, this field has not yet been fully surveyed. In order to fill this gap, examples of acidic and alkaline hydrolysis, as well as the dealkylation of phosphinates and phosphonates, are summarized in this review. Keywords: hydrolysis; dealkylation; phosphinates; phosphonates; P-acids 1. Introduction Phosphinic and phosphonic acids are of great importance due to their biological activity (Figure1)[ 1].

Received: 13 May 2017; Accepted: 4 July 2017; Published: 11 July 2017 Abstract: Organophosphorus compounds containing P-C bonds are increasingly developed as flame retardant additives due to their excellent thermal and hydrolytic stability and ease of synthesis. The latest development (since 2010) in organophosphorus flame retardants containing P-C bonds summarized in this review. In this review, we have broadly classified such phosphorus compounds based on the carbon unit linked to the phosphorus atom i.e., could be a part of either an aliphatic or an aromatic unit. We have only considered those published literature where a P-C bond was created as a part of synthetic strategy to make either an intermediate or a final organophosphorus compound with an aim to use it as a flame retardant. General synthetic strategies to create P-C bonds are briefly discussed. Most popular synthetic strategies used for developing P-C containing phosphorus based flame retardants include Michael addition, Michaelis–Arbuzov, Friedels–Crafts and Grignard reactions.
