Abstract
Radical group transfer is a powerful tool for the formation of C-C bonds. These processes typically involve radical addition to C-C π bonds, followed by fragmentation of the resulting cyclic intermediate. Despite the advantageous lability of organosilanes in this context, silicon-tethered radical acceptor groups have remained underexplored in radical group transfer reactions. We report a general photoredox-catalyzed protocol for the radical group transfer of vinyl and alkynyl silanes onto sp3 carbons, using activated and unactivated iodides as radical precursors. Our method displays high diastereoselectivity and excellent functional group tolerance, and enables direct formation of group transfer products by in situ ring opening. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the reaction proceeds via an unusual dual catalytic cycle, resulting in an overall redox-neutral process.

Abstract
I have engaged in medicinal chemical studies based on the theoretical design of bioactive compounds. First, I present a three-dimensional structural diversity-oriented conformational restriction strategy for developing bioactive compounds based on the characteristic steric and stereoelectronic features of cyclopropane. Using this strategy, various biologically active small molecule compounds, such as receptor agonists/antagonists and enzyme inhibitors, were effectively developed. The strategy was also applied to develop versatile peptidomimetics and membrane-permeable cyclic peptides. Next, studies on Ca2+-mobilizing second messengers, cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and myo-inositol trisphosphates (IP3), are described. In these studies, stable equivalents of cADPR were developed, since biological studies of cADPR have been limited due to its instability. Various potent IP3 receptor ligands, which were designed using the d-glucose structure as a bioisostere of the myo-inositol moiety of IP3, have been identified. Organic chemistry studies have also been extensively performed, because excellent organic chemistry is essential for promoting high-level medicinal chemical studies. For examples, new methods for the synthesis of chiral cyclopropanes, new radical reactions with silicon tethers, and kinetic anomeric effect-dependent stereoselective glycosidations have been developed.

Abstract
Chemical modification of therapeutic oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) is necessary to avoid not only degradation by endo- and exo-nucleases but also recognition by sensors such as an innate immune system. We have been developing modified nucleosides having an aminoalky linker at the pyrimidine nucleobase or sugar moiety. ODNs containing 5-N-(6-aminohexyl)carbamoyl-2'-deoxyuridine (7) were thermally stabilized about 3°C per modification and were about 160 times more stable to hydrolysis by snake venom phosphodiesterase (a 3'-exonuclease) than unmodified ODNs, but not by endonucleases. On the other hand, ODNs containing 4'-C-(aminoethyl)thymidine (14b), which was synthesized by a newly developed radical cyclization-ring-enlargement reaction by us, were 87 times more stable to hydrolysis by DNase I (an endonuclease) and 133 times more stable in 50% human serum than unmodified ODNs. The highly stereoselective synthesis of 4'-thioribonuclesides ((S)Ns) was also developed using a Pummerer reaction. Human thrombin RNA aptamer (CII-1-37) containing 4'-thiouridine and 4'-thiocytidine was obtained by SELEX with a K(d) value of 4.7 nM, while a previously known RNA aptamer (RNA-24) has a K(d) value of 85 nM. Studies of the modification pattern-RNAi activity relationships by using (S)Ns have been carried out against luciferase genes. We found that siRNAs, which have 4 residues of (S)Ns on both ends of the sense strand and 4 residues on the 3'-end of the antisense strand, were the most effective. 4'-ThioRNA is about 1100 times more stable in 50% human plasma than unmodified RNA. However, oligoribonucleotides ((SM)ONs) containing 2'-O-methyl-4'-thioribonucleosides were 9800 times more stable in 50% human plasma than unmodified RNA. Since (SM)ON duplexes were thermally more stable than unmodified ON duplexes, therefore they would be quite suitable to use for oligonucleotide therapeutics.

Abstract
We show for the first time that it is possible to obtain LNA-like (Locked Nucleic Acid 1) binding affinity and biological activity with carbocyclic LNA (cLNA) analogs by replacing the 2'-oxygen atom in LNA with an exocyclic methylene group. Synthesis of the methylene-cLNA nucleoside was accomplished by an intramolecular cyclization reaction between a radical at the 2'-position and a propynyl group at the C-4' position. Only methylene-cLNA modified oligonucleotides showed similar thermal stability and mismatch discrimination properties for complementary nucleic acids as LNA. In contrast, the close structurally related methyl-cLNA analogs showed diminished hybridization properties. Analysis of crystal structures of cLNA modified self-complementary DNA decamer duplexes revealed that the methylene group participates in a tight interaction with a 2'-deoxyribose residue of the 5'-terminal G of a neighboring duplex, resulting in the formation of a CH...O type hydrogen bond. This indicates that the methylene group retains a negative polarization at the edge of the minor groove in the absence of a hydrophilic 2'-substituent and provides a rationale for the superior thermal stability of this modification. In animal experiments, methylene-cLNA antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) showed similar in vivo activity but reduced toxicity as compared to LNA ASOs. Our work highlights the interchangeable role of oxygen and unsaturated moieties in nucleic acid structure and emphasizes greater use of this bioisostere to improve the properties of nucleic acids for therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

Abstract
Nucleosides and nucleotides are one of the most important elements for cells by the fact that they are components of DNAs and RNAs. In addition, they play important roles in most fundamental cellular metabolic pathways such as energy donors, second messengers, and cofactors for various enzymes. Therefore, there exists a rich source in drug discovery targeting nucleosides and nucleotides. In order to utilize nucleosides and nucleic acids on the drug development, it is very important to develop reactions and methods, by which the highly coordinating and labile nucleoside intermediates can be used. With these in mind, we have been working on synthetic nucleoside and nucleic acid chemistry. First, branched sugar nucleoside derivatives, which are potential antitumor agents, have been synthesized utilizing samarium diiodide (SmI(2)) mediated Reformatsky reaction or aldol reaction. 3'-beta-Carbamoylmethylcytidine (CAMC) was found to exhibit potent cytotoxicity against various human tumor cell lines. Synthetic methodology of the caprazamycins, which are promising antibacterial nucleoside natural products, was also developed by the strategy including beta-selective ribosylation without using a neighboring group participation. Our synthetic route provided a range of key analogues with partial structures to define the pharmacophore. Simplification of the caprazamycins was further pursued to develop diketopiperazine analogs. Medicinal chemistry of oligodeoxynucleotides has been conducted. Thus, novel triazole-linked dumbbell oligodeoxynucleotides and modular bent oligodeoxynucleotides were synthesized. They exhibit excellent binding affinity to NF-kappaB or HMGB1 A-box protein, which are important therapeutic targets. Therefore, the results obtained conclusively demonstrated these oligodeoxynucleotides could be proposed as powerful decoy molecules.

Abstract
Lack of sufficient quantities of isotopically labeled materials has precluded the use of heavy atom isotope effects to investigate mechanisms of nucleotidyl transfer reactions in nucleic acids. Here we achieve regioselective opening of 2,2'-cyclouridine with [(18)O2]benzoic acid/potassium hydride, allowing an efficient "one-pot" synthesis of [2'-18O]uridine in 88% yield. Conversion to the corresponding phosphoramidite enables solid-phase synthesis of [2'-(18)O] RNA substrates for isotope effect studies with nucleotidyl transferases and hydrolases.

Abstract
Nucleoside analogues bearing 2'-C-alpha-(hydroxyalkyl) and 2'-C-alpha-alkyl substitutes have numerous applications in RNA chemistry and biology. In particular, they provide a strategy to probe the interaction between the 2'-hydroxyl group of RNA and water. To incorporate these nucleoside analogues into oligonucleotides for studies of the group II intron (Gordon, P. M.; Fong, R.; Deb, S.; Li, N.-S.; Schwans, J. P.; Ye, J.-D.; Piccirilli, J. A. Chem. Biol. 2004, 11, 237), we synthesized six new phosphoramidite derivatives of 2'-deoxy-2'-C-alpha-(hydroxyalkyl)cytidine (36: R = -(CH2)2OH; 38: R = -(CH2)3OH; 40: R = -(CH2)4OH) and 2'-deoxy-2'-C-alpha-alkylcytidine (37: R = -CH2CH3; 39: R = -(CH2)2CH3; 41: R = -(CH2)3CH3) from cytidine or uridine via 2'-C-alpha-allylation, followed by alkene and alcohol transformations. Phosphoramidites 36 and 37 were prepared from cytidine in overall yields of 14% (10 steps) and 7% (11 steps), respectively. Phosphoramidites 38 and 39 were prepared from uridine in overall yields of 30% (10 steps) and 13% (11 steps), respectively. Phosphoramidites 40 and 41 were synthesized from uridine in overall yields of 21% (13 steps) and 25% (14 steps), respectively.

Abstract
A two-step preparation of 2,3-trans disubstituted tetrahydrofuran derivatives is reported from S-alkyl dithiocarbonates. The study of the group transfer reaction from xanthates and alkenes afforded intermediate S-alkyl dithiocarbonates. From 2,3-dihydrofuran derivatives, the displacement of the resulting anomeric xanthates with various nucleophiles in the presence of Lewis acid allowed the formation of new carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds. This strategy was illustrated by a two-step synthesis of a precursor of modified 2'-beta-C-branched nucleoside analogues.

Abstract
3'-beta-Carbamoylmethylcytidine (CAMC) and its derivatives were synthesized using an intramolecular Reformatsky-type reaction promoted by SmI2 as the key step. In vitro tumor cell growth inhibitory activity was evaluated and CAMC was found to exhibit potent cytotoxicity against various human tumor cell lines. From a structure-activity relationship study it was postulated that the cytotoxic mechanism of action of CAMC did not require phosphorylation at the 5'-hydroxyl group. This study provides a novel strategy for the development of a new type of antitumor nucleoside.

Abstract
A novel radical method for the stereoselective introduction of an ethynyl group has been developed. When a solution of ethynyldimethylsilyl (EDMS) or [2-(trimethylsilyl)ethynyl]dimethylsilyl (TEDMS) ethers of trans-2-iodoindanol was treated with Et(3)B followed by tetrabutylammonium fluoride in toluene, atom transfer 5-exo-cyclization and subsequent elimination occurred to give cis-2-ethynylindanol in high yield. The method was shown to be useful in the introduction of an ethynyl group in various five- and six-membered-ring iodohydrins. Furthermore, 2'-deoxy-2'-C-ethynyluridine (6) and -cytidine (7), which were designed as novel antimetabolites, were readily synthesized by using this method as the key step. This would be the first example in which a radical reaction was used for introducing an ethynyl group.

Abstract
Since 1'-branched nucleosides are biologically important targets in medicinal chemistry, more efficient methods for preparing them are required. The 1'alpha-branched uridine derivatives were successfully synthesized via a samarium diiodide (SmI(2))-promoted aldol reaction. Treatment of the 1'alpha-phenylseleno-2'-ketouridine derivative 6, readily prepared from uridine, with SmI(2) at -78 degrees C in THF reductively cleaved the anomeric Se-C bond to generate the corresponding samarium enolate, which was highly stereoselectively condensed with aldehydes, such as PhCHO, MeCHO, i-PrCHO, or (CH(2)O)(n)(), to give the corresponding 1'alpha-1' 'S-branched products 12a-d. This is the first time an enolate has been generated by reductively cleaving a C-Se bond. The highly selective stereochemical results suggest that the aldol reaction proceeds via a chelation-controlled transition state. When an excess of aldehyde was used and the reaction mixture was gradually warmed, the tandem aldol-Tishchenko reaction proceeded to give the "arabino-type" nucleosides 14a-c, having a 2'-"up" hydroxyl and 1'alpha-1' 'S-branched chain. 1'alpha-Hydroxymethyluridine (21), which is the uracil version of the antitumor antibiotic angustmycin C, was synthesized from the aldol reaction product 10.

Abstract
We hypothesized that, because the stereoselectivity of anomeric radical reactions was significantly influenced by the anomeric effect, which can be controlled by restricting the conformation of the radical intermediate, the proper conformational restriction of the pyranose ring of the substrates would therefore make highly alpha- and beta-stereoselective anomeric radical reactions possible. Thus, the conformationally restricted 1-phenylseleno-D-xylose derivatives 9 and 10, restricted in a (4)C(1)-conformation, and 11 and 12, restricted in a (1)C(4)-conformation, were designed and synthesized by introducing the proper protecting groups on the hydroxyl groups on the pyranose ring as model substrates for the anomeric radical reactions. The radical deuterations with Bu(3)SnD and the C-glycosylation with Bu(3)SnCH(2)CH [double bond] CH(2) or CH(2) [double bond] CHCN, using the (4)C(1)-restricted substrates 9 and 10, afforded the corresponding alpha-products (alpha/beta = 97:3-85:15) highly stereoselectively, whereas the (1)C(4)-restricted substrates 11 and 12 selectively gave the beta-products (alpha/beta = 1:99-0:100). Thus, stereoselectivity was significantly increased by conformational restriction and was completely inverted by changing the substrate conformation from the (4)C(1)-form into the (1)C(4)-form. Ab initio calculations suggested that the radical intermediates produced from these substrates possessed the typical (4)C(1)- or (1)C(4)-conformation, which was similar to that of the substrates, and that the anomeric effect in these conformations would be the factor controlling the transition state of the reaction. Therefore, the highly alpha- and beta-selective reactions would occur because of the anomeric effect, which could be manipulated by conformational restriction of the substrates, as expected. This would be the first radical C-glycosylation reaction to provide both alpha- and beta-C-glycosides highly stereoselectively.
