Near-quantitative DNA bioconjugation and detailed mechanistic investigations of reactions involving 5-(vinyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (VdU) and maleimides are reported. According to accelerated reaction rates in solvents with increasing polarity and trends in product stereochemistry, VdU-maleimide reactions proceed via a formal [4 + 2] stepwise cycloaddition. In contrast, 5-(1,3-butadienyl)-2'-deoxyuridine (BDdU) reacts with maleimides in a concerted [4 + 2] Diels-Alder cycloaddition. VdU-maleimide reactions enable high-yielding bioconjugation of duplex DNA in vitro (>90%) as well as metabolic labeling experiments in cells.
报道了5-(乙烯基)-2'-脱氧尿苷(VdU)与马来酰亚胺反应的近定量DNA生物共轭及详细的机理研究。根据在极性增加的溶剂中反应速率加快以及产物立体化学趋势,VdU-马来酰亚胺反应通过形式上的[4 + 2]逐步环加成进行。相比之下,5-(1,3-丁二烯基)-2'-脱氧尿苷(BDdU)与马来酰亚胺通过协同的[4 + 2]狄尔斯-阿尔德环加成反应。VdU-马来酰亚胺反应能够在体外实现双链DNA的高产率生物共轭(>90%)以及细胞中的代谢标记实验。
