Abstract
The reversibility of alkylation by a quinone methide intermediate (QM) avoids the irreversible consumption that plagues most reagents based on covalent chemistry and allows for site specific reaction that is controlled by the thermodynamics rather than kinetics of target association. This characteristic was originally examined with an oligonucleotide QM conjugate, but broad application depends on alternative derivatives that are compatible with a cellular environment. Now, a peptide nucleic acid (PNA) derivative has been constructed and shown to exhibit an equivalent ability to delivery the reactive QM in a controlled manner. This new conjugate demonstrates high selectivity for a complementary sequence of DNA even when challenged with an alternative sequence containing a single T/T mismatch. Alternatively, alkylation of noncomplementary sequences is only possible when a template strand is present to colocalize the conjugate and its target. For efficient alkylation in this example, a single-stranded region of the target is required adjacent to the QM conjugate. Most importantly, the intrastrand self-adducts formed between the PNA and its attached QM remained active and reversible over more than 8 days in aqueous solution prior to reaction with a chosen target added subsequently.

Abstract
Various types of minor groove binders have been attached to synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides, and the interactions of these conjugates (MB-ODNs) with DNA are reviewed here. MB-ODNs have enhanced DNA affinity and have improved the hybridization properties of sequence-specific DNA probes. Short MB-ODNs hybridize with ssDNA to give more stable DNA duplexes than unmodified ODNs with similar lengths. Mismatch discrimination of short MB-ODNs is enhanced in comparison to longer unmodified ODNs. The stronger binding of MB-ODNs allows for more stringent hybridization conditions to be used in DNA probe-based assays. MB-ODNs are especially useful in quantitative "real-time" PCR assays since they bind efficiently during the high-temperature primer extension cycle. The synthesis and biophysical chemistry of MB-ODN conjugates are reviewed here. Four published structural classes of MB-ODNs and their various dsDNA binding modes are discussed, and the well-characterized DPI3-type MB-ODNs and their interactions with ssDNA target strands are described in detail.

Abstract
Conjugation of oligonucleotides at the 3 terminus is less common because this site is used for covalent linkage to solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis supports. However, 3-oligonucleotide conjugates have several valuable physicochemical properties, including their ability to stabilize nucleic acid hybridization complexes and to retard the activity of exonucleases. This unit discusses methods for preparing oligonucleotides conjugated at the 3 terminus.

Abstract
Recently, we have proposed a new concept for cross-linking agents with inducible reactivity, in which the highly reactive cross-linking agent, the 2-amino-6-vinylpurine nucleoside analogue (1), can be regenerated in situ from its stable precursors, the phenylsulfide (4) and the phenylsulfoxide (3) derivatives, by a hybridization-promoted activation process with selectivity to cytidine. The phenylsulfide precursor (4) exhibited cross-linking ability despite its high stability toward strong nucleophiles such as amines and thiols. In this study, we investigated the substituent effects of the phenylsulfide group on the cross-linking reaction, and determined the 2-carboxy substituent of the phenylsulfide derivative (11k) as an efficient cross-linking agent with inducible reactivity. Detailed investigations have shown that the phenylsulfoxide (3) and phenylsulfide (4) precursors produce the 2-amino-6-vinylpurine nucleoside (1) as the common reactive species. It has been concluded that the nature of the inducible reactivity of the precursors (3 and 4) is acceleration of their elimination to the 2-amino-6-vinylpurine nucleoside (1) through the selective process in the duplex with the ODN having cytidine at the target site.

Abstract
We have already demonstrated that the oligonucleotides DNA (ODNs) bearing a 2-amino-6-vinylpurine derivative (1) exhibited efficient interstrand cross-linking to cytidine selectively. In this study, a new reactive nucleoside analogue, 2-amino-6-(1-ethylsulfoxy)vinylpurine derivative (7), was designed based on a computational method to achieve high and selective alkylation with cytidine under neutral conditions. It has been demonstrated that the ODN (13) bearing 2-amino-6-(1-ethylsulfoxy)vinylpurine achieved highly selective and efficient cross-linking to cytidine under neutral conditions.

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
We have previously described that oligonucleotides (ODN) containing phenylsulfoxide derivative of 2-amino-6-vinylpurine nucleoside analog (1) are activated within duplex to form cross-link toward cytidine selectively at the target site. In this paper, we wish to report the search for more stable precursor susceptible for activation within duplex.

Abstract
In this review, both cationic and neutral synthetic ligands that bind in the minor groove of DNA are discussed. Certain bis-distamycins and related lexitropsins show activities against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 and HIV-2 at low nanomolar concentrations. DAPI binds strongly to AT-containing polymers and is located in the minor groove of DNA. DAPI intercalates in DNA sequences that do not contain at least three consecutive AT bp. Berenil can also exhibit intercalative, as well as minor groove binding, properties depending on sequence. Furan-containing analogues of berenil play an important role in their activities against Pneumocystis carinii and Cryptosporidium parvuam infections in vivo. Pt(II)-berenil conjugates show a good activity profile against HL60 and U-937 human leukemic cells. Pt-pentamidine shows higher antiproliferative activity against small cell lung, non-small cell lung, and melanoma cancer cell lines compared with many other tumor cell lines. trans-Butenamidine shows good anti-P. carinii activity in rats. Pentamidine is used against P. carinii pneumonia in individuals infected with HIV who are at high risk from this infection. A comparison of the cytotoxic potencies of adozelesin, bizelesin, carzelesin, cisplatin, and doxorubicin indicates that adozelesin is a potent analog of CC-1065. Naturally occurring pyrrolo[2,1-c][l,4]benzodiazepines such as anthramycin have a 2- to 3-bp sequence specificity, but a synthetic PBD dimer spans 6 bp, actively recognizing a central 5'-GATC sequence. The crosslinking efficiency of PBD dimers is much greater than that of other major groove crosslinkers, such as cisplatin, melphalan, etc. Neothramycin is used clinically for the treatment of superficial carcinoma of the bladder.

Abstract
The nuclear entry of exogenous DNA in mammalian cells is critical for efficient gene transfer. A novel technique was developed for the covalent attachment of cationic peptides to double-stranded DNA using a cyclo-propapyrroloindole cross-linker. The attachment of the SV40 large T antigen nuclear localization signal peptide induced the nuclear accumulation of the conjugated DNA in digitonin-permeabilized cells via the classical pathway for the nuclear transport of karyophilic proteins. Increased nuclear uptake of the modified DNA, however, did not occur after it was microinjected into the cytoplasm of cultured cells. This demonstration that the covalent modification of DNA with a signal peptide alters its behavior and interaction with other cellular factors portends the potential of DNA vector chemistry to enhance the efficiency of cellular gene transfer.
