Description

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biosynthesis and relates to a compound and a method for synthesizing nucleic acids. Specifically, it relates to a compound as shown in Formula A or a compound as shown in Formula B, its preparation method, the application of a compound as shown in Formula C in the synthesis of nucleic acids, a method for preparing a solid-phase support (SSEB-2'-dN-CPG) containing a starting nucleic acid molecule, and a method for synthesizing nucleic acids. Background Technology

[0002] In recent decades, with the rapid development of molecular biology and DNA-based in vitro diagnostic technologies, the application of oligonucleotides has become increasingly widespread. For example, in genome sequencing and PCR, artificially synthesized oligonucleotides serve as primers to guide the synthesis of complementary strands of templates; in quantitative real-time PCR, synthesized oligonucleotides can be used as probes for the detection, analysis, and quantification of target nucleic acids. In recent years, research on oligonucleotides as drug candidates has also made significant progress. For instance, antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) can regulate gene expression by targeting specific RNAs and can also be used to treat systemic diseases; nucleic acid aptamers can specifically bind to targets such as small molecules, proteins, bacteria, viruses, cells, and tissues; small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are used for gene silencing; and microRNAs (miRNAs) are used to block protein gene expression. Furthermore, DNA data storage technologies also require the application of oligonucleotide synthesis technology. With the development of these technologies, the demand for artificially synthesized oligonucleotides is increasing, thus greatly promoting the development of oligonucleotide synthesis technology.

[0003] Over the decades, various oligonucleotide synthesis methods have been reported for the synthesis of oligonucleotides, including H-phosphonic acid synthesis, phosphate diester synthesis, phosphate triester synthesis, and phosphoramidite triester synthesis. The most widely used oligonucleotide synthesis method currently is solid-phase phosphoramidite trimer synthesis (see Caruthers et al. US Pat. Nos. 4,415,732, 4,458,066, 4,500,707, 4,668,777, 4,973,679 and 5,132,418; Koster et al. US Pat. No. Re. 34,069; McBride et al. (1983) Tetrahedron Letters 24:245-248; Sinha et al. (1983) Tetrahedron Letters 24:5843-5846). This technique uses nucleoside phosphoramidite as a monomer to synthesize the 3'-5' segments of oligonucleotides on a solid support. This method involves extending one base per cycle, and each cycle includes four steps: deprotection, coupling, capping, and oxidation. Figure 1).

[0004] (1) Deprotection. Before the start of each cycle, the terminal 5'-hydroxyl group on the CPG-oligonucleotide is protected by a dimethoxytriphenylmethyl (DMT) protecting group. The DMT is usually removed using a dichloromethane solution of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to expose the 5'-hydroxyl group.

[0005] (2) Coupling. After deprotection, the corresponding oligonucleotide monomers and activators are added to the support to increase the number of bases. The product obtained by this reaction is a triphosphite.

[0006] (3) Capping. Use a capping reagent, such as the acetic anhydride / N-methylimidazole / pyridine / tetrahydrofuran system, to block the unreacted 5'-OH in the first step of coupling.

[0007] (4) Oxidation. The coupled triphosphite is oxidized to the corresponding phosphate ester using an oxidizing agent, such as an I2 / pyridine / tetrahydrofuran / water system.

[0008] The solid support used in this method can be controlled-pore glass (CPG) or microporous polystyrene (MPPS), with CPG being more commonly used. The oligo is linked to the 3'-position of the first base via a linker, and through multiple cycles, the 3'-5' synthesis of the oligo is achieved. After the target oligo is synthesized, it is cleaved from the solid support by ammonolysis with ammonia, simultaneously removing the protecting groups on the base and phosphate, thus obtaining the target oligo.

[0009] The above method has been widely used in laboratory oligo synthesis research and in commercially available micro- or large-scale custom oligonucleotide synthesis, for example, at a scale of 1 mol or more, for the synthesis of oligonucleotide drugs, primers, probes, etc. However, this method has inherent drawbacks, which are inherent to the DMT protecting group being a protecting group at the 5'-position hydroxyl group.

[0010] First, the DMT protecting group is an acid-sensitive group. In oligo synthesis, an acid is needed to complete deprotection and expose the 5'-hydroxyl group. A strong protic acid, such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA), is typically used. However, under strongly acidic conditions, oligonucleotides may undergo some side reactions, particularly depurination. Figure 2Depurination refers to the phenomenon where nucleic acids lose purine bases under acidic conditions, resulting in purine-free sites. However, using DMT as a protecting group inevitably exposes the oligonucleotide product to a strongly acidic environment in each cycle, making depurination a more likely side effect and impacting the quality of oligo synthesis. It is foreseeable that the earlier the purine bases are synthesized or the longer the oligo chain, the longer the purine bases are exposed to acidic conditions, and the more severe the depurination phenomenon will be.

[0011] Furthermore, after the DMT protecting group is removed under acidic conditions, it forms a DMT cation, while DMT... + It can react with hydroxyl groups, leading to the reprotection of the hydroxyl groups. Therefore, the acidic deprotection reaction of DMT protecting groups is a reversible reaction. Figure 3 This reversible reaction leads to incomplete deprotection. The unprotected sequence does not undergo chain elongation in subsequent coupling reactions, but can undergo deprotection in subsequent cycles to achieve chain elongation, thus yielding a base-deleted sequence. These base-deleted sequences are cleaved from the solid support along with the target sequence after synthesis, but their similar properties to the target sequence make separation difficult.

[0012] Third, the coupling reaction requires the use of an activator to activate the phosphorus amide group of the phosphorus amide monomer, which then reacts with the exposed 5'-hydroxyl group on the support to achieve chain elongation. However, the activators are all weak acids, which may cause some of the 5'-hydroxyl groups on the coupled phosphite triester to be removed, and then react with the activated phosphorus amide monomer, thereby producing a base insertion byproduct.

[0013] In addition, the acids and dichloromethane solvents used in the deprotection reaction also cause environmental pollution. Summary of the Invention

[0014] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing solid-phase phosphoramidite trimer methods, this application provides a novel nucleic acid synthesis method. This method uses a novel protecting group to replace the DMT protecting group, which allows for deprotection under alkaline conditions. This deprotection reaction is highly efficient and quantitative, releasing 5'-OH for subsequent coupling reactions. The deprotection reaction is irreversible. The protecting group is insensitive to acids. The deprotected byproduct is a stable compound that does not react with the groups on the oligo.

After synthesis, the CPG support was treated with 1 mL of concentrated ammonia for 1 h to cleave the product from the CPG. The resulting ammonia solution was then deprotected at 60 °C for 16 h. The system was concentrated with ammonia under vacuum at 60 °C to obtain crude TGTG, which was dissolved in 200 μL of deionized water. HPLC analysis was performed, and the results were compared with the HPLC chromatogram of the target sequence. ESI-MS analysis (calculated m / z for TGTG 1204.9, found 1204.0 [MH]) + ] - 601.5[M-2H + ] 2- .

[0210] The single-cycle yields of the oligonucleotides synthesized in this invention are shown in the table below, all of which are above 98%.

[0213] Example 33 Screening of deprotected solvents

[0214]

[0215] The removal efficiency of THPP solutions prepared with different solvents was investigated using the synthesized 5'-SSEB-3'-TBS-2'-dT(5a) as a substrate. A 1 mM acetonitrile solution of 5'-SSEB-3'-TBS-2'-dT was prepared, then mixed 1:1 with the 20 mM THPP solution to be tested. After standing for 1 min, the mixture was analyzed by HPLC as a control. The test structures are shown in the table below.

[0216] Table 2. Deprotection efficiency of 20mM THPP in different solvents

[0217]

[0218] As shown in the table above, the deprotection efficiency is worst when using pure organic solvents such as acetonitrile and methanol. In this case, the raw material partially decomposes, and the system mainly consists of intermediates before ring closure, with very little product. Using a pure aqueous solution of 20 mM THPP yields the best results, and deprotection can be basically completed within 1 minute.

[0219] Example 34 Stability of the Protecting Base (SSEB)

[0220] During oligo synthesis, the SSEB protecting group is present at the oligo terminus in each of the three steps of coupling, oxidation, and capping in each cycle, thus being exposed to the coupling activator, oxidizing agent, and capping agent for an extended period. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate whether this group can remain stable in these reagents.

[0221] 5'-SSEB-3'-TBS-2'-dT(5a) was used as a model to investigate the stability of SSEB in these reagents. A 1 mM acetonitrile solution of 5'-SSEB-3'-TBS-2'-dT(5a) was prepared and mixed with an equal volume of commercially available activator (0.25 M 5-ethimercaptotetrazole in acetonitrile), oxidizing agent (0.02 M I2 of pyridine / tetrahydrofuran / aqueous solution), capping reagent A (CAP A), capping reagent B (CAP B), and CAP A / CAP B (1:1, v:v). After 24 hours, HPLC analysis showed no significant changes. Therefore, it is believed that commercially available reagents for synthesizing oligos can be used in SSEB-protected systems.

[0222] Example 35 Effect of deprotecting agent (THPP) on amino protection

[0223] Except for the T base, the bases on monomers A, C, and G all have active amino groups, which can affect the reactions during the synthesis of phosphorusamide and oligo. Therefore, the amino groups of bases A, C, and G need to be protected before the synthesis of phosphorusamide. In this example, the A base is protected with benzoyl (Bz), the C base with acetyl (Ac), and the G base with isobutyryl (Bz). i Bu) protection.

[0224] Therefore, this invention synthesizes the corresponding 5'-DMT-3'-TBS-2'-dA(Bz)(5b), 5'-DMT-3'-TBS-2'-dG( iBu)(5c), 5'-DMT-3'-TBS-2'-dC(Ac)(5d), and prepared into a 1mM acetonitrile solution, were mixed with an equal volume of 20mM THPP. After 24 hours, HPLC analysis showed no change. Therefore, it can be inferred that THPP does not affect the corresponding protecting group on the amino group. Thus, in this invention, the amino group of monomer A is protected with benzoyl (Bz), the amino group of monomer C is protected with acetyl (Ac), and the amino group of monomer G is protected with isobutyryl (Bz). i Bu) protection.

[0225] Example 36: Screening of the linker between the solid support and the oligo

[0226] (1) Using commercially available DMT-protected general-purpose CPG An attempt was made to synthesize polyT. First, the DMT protecting group was manually removed using TCA before the product was placed on a synthesizer. The complete set of reagents of this invention (SSEB-2'-dT-phosphoramide monomer solution, THPP deprotection reagent and capping reagent, oxidizing reagent) was used to synthesize polyT. The result was that almost no product was generated.

[0227] (2) 5'-SSEB-2'-dT(6a) was reacted with succinic anhydride to obtain the product 5'-SSEB-3'-succinic acid-2'-dT(8a), which was then reacted with CPG-Linker-NH2. Unreacted amino groups were quenched using a capping agent, resulting in two SSEB-2'-dT-CPGs with different linkers: CPG A and CPG B. CPG A has a long carbon chain linker, while CPG B's linker is similar to that of general-purpose CPGs. Instrumental testing revealed that CPG A is well-suited for the SSEB protection-deprotection synthesis system of this invention, while CPG B, similar to general-purpose CPGs, is similar to commercially available general-purpose CPGs after DMT removal and is not suitable for this system. For example, using CPG A and CPG B respectively in our system to synthesize T... 15 Similar to the general CPG synthesis, it was found that CPG B failed to yield the reaction product, while CPG A successfully synthesized T15. The results are as follows: Figure 4 As shown (Note: Figure 4 (The presence of superimposed images does not affect the interpretation of the technical solution / effect.)
