Abstract

The synthesis of cyanuryl PNA monomer (CyaPNA) 6 was achieved by direct N-monoalkylation of cyanuric acid with N-(2-Boc-aminoethyl)-N'-(bromoacetyl)glycyl ethyl ester 4. Compound 6 was incorporated as a T-mimic into PNA oligomers and biophysical studies on their triplexes/duplex complexes with complementary DNA oligomers indicated unusual stabilization of PNA:DNA hybrids when the cyanuryl unit was located in the middle of the PNA oligomer.
