Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biochemistry, specifically relating to a method for synthesizing acetylated deoxyguanosine triphosphate. Background Technology
[0002] AcyNTPs, used as PCR chain terminators, have their furanose moiety replaced by a 2-hydroxyethoxymethyl group. This allows for a wider range of applications. The error rate of acyNTP substrates is significantly lower than that of corresponding dNTP or ddNTP substrates. Therefore, they are of great value in applications where dideoxynucleotides are commonly used, such as in DNA sequencing and SNP detection. AcyNTPs can also be used as PCR chain terminators in time-of-flight mass spectrometry platforms.
[0003] Currently, the large-scale synthesis of acetylated deoxyguanosine triphosphate remains a significant challenge because an acetylated deoxyguanosine triphosphate has multiple chemical groups, such as primary hydroxyl, secondary hydroxyl, and amino groups, which have different activities and selectivities during synthesis, resulting in a large number of byproducts and posing a significant problem for purification.
[0004] The "one-pot three-step process" proposed by Ludwig is a commonly used method. However, the "one-pot three-step process" proposed by Ludwig has a low reaction conversion rate, a high content of by-products, and an unstable conversion rate during the experiment, making it impossible to carry out stable industrial production.
[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art are dedicated to developing a process for preparing acetylated deoxyguanosine with high reaction conversion rate, low by-product content, and stable process. Summary of the Invention
