Abstract
In this paper, the solid-phase synthesis of various substituted pyrimidine nucleosides is described starting from 2'-deoxyuridine, which has been attached through a base labile linker to polystyrene resins. The utility of the Pd(0) cross-coupling to functionalized pyrimidine nucleosides is expanded herein to include reactions of resin-supported 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine under Sonogashira, Stille, Heck, and Suzuki conditions. Upon cleavage with MeONa, a library of 5-substituted pyrimidine nucleosides was obtained in good (under Sonogashira and Stille conditions) to moderate (under Heck or Suzuki conditions) yields and high purity. Except the Suzuki-type reactions, the presented methods exhibit a significant improvement and facilitate the synthetic procedure with respect to purification and yields (determined after filtration over silica gel).

Abstract
Mixed 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfides were synthesized and used in the von Braun cyanogen bromide reaction for preparing selectively thiocyanates in high yield. We show here that this cleavage reaction is highly selective in methanol in comparison with the reaction of the corresponding non-silyl sulfide analogues. This reaction was applied to the synthesis of nucleosidic thiocyanates such as the new nucleosides 14 and 18 in the search for mechanism-based inhibitors of ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase and bioactive molecules. The selective cleavage is possible for sulfides bearing hydroxyl functions and aromatic rings. The reactions of cyanogen bromide as cyanating and brominating agent were observed for the first time under the same conditions with the naphthoxyhexyl 2-trimethylsilylethyl sulfide 7, which, treated with cyanogen bromide in dichloromethane, led selectively to the p-bromonaphthoxyhexyl thiocyanate 10 in 89% yield. Another reaction induced by cyanogen bromide was observed in dichloromethane with the 2-(trimethylsilylethyl)thio nucleoside 13, which gives the corresponding symmetrical disulfide 21 in good yield.

Abstract
A number of cross-linking (alkylating) agents have been developed and incorporated into the oligonulceotides for sequence selective control of gene expression. Recently, potential application of such active oligonucleotides has been expanding from use for improvement of inhibition efficiency to new biotechnology that may enable chemical alteration of genetic information. These interests in active oligonucleotides have encouraged the generation of new cross-linking agents that exhibit high efficiency for application of either in vitro or in vivo. This mini review summarizes structures of alkylating agents, in particular, a new basic skeleton for cross-linking, a 2'-deoxyribose derivative of 2-amino-6-vinylpurine that has been recently developed by the author's group. The 2-amino-6-vinylpurine has been shown to form a complex with cytidine under acidic conditions, and brings the vinyl and the amino reactive groups into proximity to achieve efficient alkylation. A new strategy was designed so that the reactivity of 2-amino-6-vinylpurine can be induced from the corresponding phenylsulfoxide derivative within a duplex with the complementary strand. The validity of the new strategy has been proven by achievement of cytidine-selective cross-linking with remarkably efficiency.

Abstract
The antitumor antibiotic CC-1065 binds in the minor groove of double-stranded DNA, and the cyclopropapyrroloindole (CPI) subunit of the drug alkylates adjacent adenines at their N-3 position. We have attached racemic CPI to oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) via a terminal phosphorothioate at either the 3'- or 5'-end of the ODNs. These conjugates were remarkably stable in aqueous solution at neutral pH even in the presence of strong nucleophiles. When a 3'-CPI-ODN conjugate was hybridized to a complementary DNA strand at 37 degrees C, the CPI moiety alkylated nearby adenine bases of the complement efficiently and rapidly, with a half-life of a few minutes. The 4'-CPR- ODN conjugate showed very little reactivity within the duplex. CPI-ODN conjugates should be highly effective sequence-specific inhibitors of single-stranded viral DNA replication or gene selective inhibitors of transcription initiation.

Abstract
The synthesis of 2'-O-phenethyladenosine and its incorporation into an oligodeoxyribonucleotide and a chimeric oligodeoxy/oligoribonucleotide are described. The study was designed to determine the consequences of site-specific induction of such a small, flexible hydrophobic ligand into a nucleic acid. Through the use of optical (Tm, circular dichroism) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance, it was discovered that this substitution destabilized the duplex and that the benzene ring of the phenethyl group lies in the major groove of both the DNA analog and the DNA-RNA duplex structure. The plane of the benzene ring lies perpendicular to the stacked bases of the oligonucleotide which, in other respects, exhibits relatively normal B-type geometry for the oligodeoxynucleotide and a modified A-type geometry in the DNA-RNA duplex. This finding has implications for the synthesis of oligodeoxynucleotides containing major groove binders as ligands.

Abstract
The human immunodeficiency virus, HIV-1, is generally accepted to be responsible for AIDS. It is imperative that all approaches, empirical and rational, be taken for development of a drug for therapy of this disease. These approaches are discussed, with emphasis on the direction being pursued in our laboratory. Empirically, we found 3'-deoxy-2',3'-didehydrothymidine, a compound first synthesized for potential anticancer activity by J. Horwitz in the 1960s, to be a potent inhibitor of HIV-1. It is now in Phase II/III clinical trials. We have also synthesized several 2,5'-anhydro pyrimidine nucleoside analogs, which have interesting chemical and biological properties. We have evaluated a natural product, gossypol and synthesized various derivatives for anti-HIV-1 activity, but none were appreciably more inhibitory than the parent compound. More recently, we have taken the rational approach and synthesized a boron-modified tetrapeptide, Ac-Thr-Leu-Asn-boro-Phe, which corresponds to the COOH-terminal of the Phe-Pro scissle bond of the gag/pol gene polyprotein product. Potent inhibition of the HIV-1 encoded protease was observed. These approaches and findings will be discussed.

Abstract
A few different methods for the preparation of oligonucleotide N-alkylphosphoramidates were compared directly. One of these, involving the use of protected nucleoside phosphites as building blocks, provided the requisite N-alkylphosphoramidates via oxidation of the intermediate dinucleoside methyl phosphites with iodine in the presence of the appropriate alkylamine. This method was found to have several attractive features, including the use of building blocks identical with those employed for the synthesis of DNA and compatibility with procedures and instruments employed for the stepwise synthesis of oligonucleotides by solution and solid-phase methods. This procedure was used to make several di-, tri-, and tetranucleotide N-alkylphosphoramidates derived from deoxyadenosine and thymidine; alkyl substituents included N,N-dimethyl, N-butyl, N-octyl, N-dodecyl, and N-(5-aminopentyl). The aminoalkyl derivative of d(TpT) (24) was used to demonstrate the feasibility of introducing an intercalative agent to the alkylphosphoramidate moiety of such derivatives. The oligonucleotide N-alkylphosphoramidates were separated into their component diastereomers and characterized structurally by a number of techniques including circular dichroism, high-field 1H NMR spectroscopy, FAB mass spectrometry, and enzymatic digestion to authentic nucleosides and nucleotides. Physicochemical characterization of several di- and trinucleotide alkyl-phosphoramidates revealed that the adenine nucleotide analogues formed stable complexes with poly-(thymidylic acid). The stabilities of these complexes were found to increase with increasing chain length of the N-alkylphosphoramidate substituents. The finding that N-alkylphosphoramidate substituents can enhance the binding of certain oligonucleotides to their complementary polynucleotides suggests the existence of a novel source of polynucleotide affinity.

Abstract
The relatively nonspecific single-stranded deoxyribonuclease, staphylococcal nuclease, was selectively fused to an oligonucleotide binding site of defined sequence to generate a hybrid enzyme. A cysteine was substituted for Lys116 in the enzyme by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis and coupled to an oligonucleotide that contained a 3'-thiol. The resulting hybrid enzyme cleaved single-stranded DNA at sites adjacent to the oligonucleotide binding site.

Abstract
Homopyrimidine oligodeoxyribonucleotides with EDTA-Fe attached at a single position bind the corresponding homopyrimidine-homopurine tracts within large double-stranded DNA by triple helix formation and cleave at that site. Oligonucleotides with EDTA.Fe at the 5' end cause a sequence specific double strand break. The location and asymmetry of the cleavage pattern reveal that the homopyrimidine-EDTA probes bind in the major groove parallel to the homopurine strand of Watson-Crick double helical DNA. The sequence-specific recognition of double helical DNA by homopyrimidine probes is sensitive to single base mismatches. Homopyrimidine probes equipped with DNA cleaving moieties could be useful tools for mapping chromosomes.
