Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of medicine, and particularly relates to a method for preparing 2'-methoxy-uridine triphosphate. BACKGROUND

[0002] Nucleotides, as the basic structural units of DNA and RNA, have multiple key functions in life activities. They are not only carriers of genetic information, but also participate in energy metabolism, cell signal transduction in the form of nucleoside triphosphates (ATP, GTP, CTP, UTP), and play a role as enzyme reaction cofactors.

[0003] RNA interference technology is widely used in the treatment of tumors, infectious diseases and metabolic diseases, but it faces problems such as easy degradation of oligonucleotides by nucleases, poor selectivity and stability of binding to target RNA, easy triggering of immune response, and transport barrier. Chemically modified nucleotides can effectively solve some of the above defects. Among them, ribose 2'-hydroxyl modification is a research hotspot. 2'-methyl modification can enhance the binding of drugs to target mRNA, inhibit nuclease hydrolysis, reduce immunogenicity, and improve lipid solubility. 2'-methoxy (2'OMe) modified nucleotides, as their analogs, have better affinity and anti-enzymatic ability for target mRNA.

[0004] Approved nucleic acid drugs such as silencing RNA drugs (siRNA drugs) Patisiran and Givosiran, ASO drugs Nusinersen, Inotersen and Volanesorsen, and aptamer drugs Peg-aptanib have verified the pharmacological value and clinical utility of 2'-methoxy (2'OMe) modification. 2'-methoxy modified nucleotides have thus become a key intermediate in drug research and development.

[0005] 2'-methoxy-uridine triphosphate (2'-OME-UTP), as a UTP analog, has stronger anti-hydrolysis and anti-nuclease cutting stability due to the methylation of ribose 2, and is an important raw material for aptamer synthesis. However, this compound is unstable in nature, and the market price is as high as 50 μL (100 mM) / 100,000 pounds (CAS: 143028-99-3). Currently, there is no efficient and targeted synthesis method. In addition, the existing nucleotide production methods also have various defects, such as: chemical synthesis method has long route, poor stereoselectivity, expensive and toxic reagents, and high production cost; the product of RNA enzymatic method is a mixture of 4 nucleotides, which is difficult to extract and has low purity; microbial fermentation method is limited by cell permeability; traditional biological catalysis method solves the problem of cell permeability, but has low efficiency in the synthesis of complex modified nucleotides.
