Abstract
Abstract:
Tuberculosis remains a highly infectious disease across the world. In the identification of
new antitubercular agents, coumarin clubbed thiadiazole amides have been synthesized and evaluated
for in vitro antitubercular activity. Owing to the growing concern of chemicals and their impact on the
environment, greener and faster reaction conditions needed to be incorporated. Therefore, we used
TBTU as a coupling reagent for efficient and facile synthesis of substituted-N-(5-((7-methyl-2-oxo-2Hchromes-
4-yl)-methyl)-1,3, 4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-benzamide 4a-j with good yields up to 95% in mild reaction
conditions. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro for anti-tubercular activity
against the H37Rv strain of M. tuberculosis. Compounds 4c, 4d, and 4f were found active at 12.5
μg/mL against M. tb H37Rv. Electron withdrawing substituents present on aromatic side chains showed
promising anti-tubercular activity.

Abstract
Background:
Amide bond plays a key role in medicinal chemistry, and the analysis of bioactive
molecular database revealed that the carboxamide group appears in more than 25% of the existing
database drugs. Typically amide bonds are formed from the union of carboxylic acid and
amine; however, the product formation does not occur spontaneously. Several synthetic methods
have been reported for amide bond formation in literature. Present work demonstrated simple and
eco-friendly amide bond formation using carboxylic acid and primary amines through in situ generation
of O-acylurea. The reaction was found to be more efficient, faster reaction rate; simple work-up
gave pure compound isolation in moderate to excellent yield using microwave irradiation as compared
to conventional heating.
Methods:
Developed one-pot synthesis of amide compounds using agro-waste derived greener catalyst
under microwave irradiation.
Results:
Twenty amide bond containing organic compounds are synthesized from carboxylic acid
with primary amine catalyzed by agro-waste derived medium under microwave irradiation. First, the
reaction involved carboxylic acid activation using EDC.HCl, which is the required base for the neutralization
and coupling. The method employed natural agro-waste derived from banana peel ash
(WEB) for the coupling gave target amide product without the use of an external organic or inorganic
base.
Conclusion:
In the present work, we demonstrated that agro-waste extract is an alternative greener
catalytic medium for the condensation of organic carboxylic acid and primary amine under microwave
irradiation. The method found several advantages compared to reported methods like solventfree,
non-toxic, cheaper catalyst, and simple reaction condition. The final isolated product achieved
chromatographically pure by simple recrystallization and did not require further purification.

Abstract
A mixture of sugar diphosphates is produced in reactions between small aldehyde phosphates catalysed by layered double hydroxide (LDH) clays under plausibly prebiotic conditions. A subset of these, pentose diphosphates, constitute the backbone subunits of nucleic acids capable of base pairing, which is not the case for the other products of these LDH-catalysed reactions. Not only that, but to date no other polymer found capable of base pairing—and therefore information transfer—has a backbone for which its monomer subunits have a plausible prebiotic synthesis, including the ribose-5-phosphate backbone subunit of RNA. Pentose diphosphates comprise the backbone monomers of pentopyranose nucleic acids, some of the strongest base pairing systems so far discovered. We have previously proposed that the first base pairing interactions were between purine nucleobase precursors, and that these were weaker and less specific than standard purine-pyrimidine interactions. We now propose that the inherently stronger pairing of pentopyranose nucleic acids would have compensated for these weaker interactions, and produced an informational polymer capable of undergoing nonenzymatic replication. LDH clays might also have catalysed the synthesis of the purine nucleobase precursors, and the polymerization of pentopyranose nucleotide monomers into oligonucleotides, as well as the formation of the first lipid bilayers.

Abstract
The RNA world hypothesis proposes that RNA once functioned as the principal genetic material and biological catalyst. However, RNA is a complex molecule made up of phosphate, ribose, and nucleobase moieties, and its evolution is unclear. Yakhnin has proposed a period of prebiotic chemical evolution prior to the advent of replication and Darwinian evolution, in which macromolecules containing polyols joined by phosphodiester linkages underwent spontaneous transesterification reactions with selection for stability. Although he proposes that the nucleobases were obtained during this stage from less stable macromolecules, the ultimate source of the nucleobases is not addressed. We propose that the purine nucleobases arose in situ from simpler precursors attached to a ribose-phosphate backbone, and that the weaker and less specific intra- and interstrand interactions between these precursors were the forerunners to the base pairing and base stacking interactions of the modern RNA nucleobases. Further, in line with Granick's hypothesis of biosynthetic pathways recapitulating evolution, we propose that these simpler precursors were the same or similar to intermediates of the modern de novo purine biosynthetic pathway. We propose that successive nucleobase precursors formed progressively stronger interactions that stabilized the ribose-phosphate polymer, and that the increased stability of the parent polymer drove the selection and further chemical evolution of the purine nucleobases. Such interactions may have included hydrogen bonding between ribose hydroxyls, hydrogen bonding between carbonyl oxygens and protonated amine side groups, the intra- and interstrand coordination of metal cations, and the stacking of imidazole rings. Five of the eleven steps of the modern de novo purine biosynthetic pathway have previously been shown to have alternative nonenzymatic syntheses, while a sixth step has also been proposed to occur nonenzymatically, supporting a prebiotic origin for the pathway.

Abstract
A computational model composed of six nucleobases was used to investigate why hypoxanthine does not yield duplexes of equal stability when paired opposite each of the natural DNA nucleobases. The magnitudes of all nearest-neighbor interactions in a DNA helix were calculated, including hydrogen-bonding, intra- and interstrand stacking interactions, as well as 1-3 intrastrand stacking interactions. Although the stacking interactions in DNA relevant arrangements are significant and account for at least one third of the total stabilization energy in our nucleobase complexes, the trends in the magnitude of the stacking interactions cannot explain the relative experimental melting temperatures previously reported in the literature. Furthermore, although the total hydrogen-bonding interactions explain why hypoxanthine preferentially pairs with cytosine, the experimental trend for the remaining nucleobases (A, T, G) is not explained. In fact, the calculated pairing preference of hypoxanthine matches that determined experimentally only when the sum of all types of nearest-neighbor interactions is considered. This finding highlights a strong correlation between the relative magnitude of the total nucleobase-nucleobase interactions and measured melting temperatures for DNA strands containing hypoxanthine despite the potential role of other factors (including hydration, temperature, sugar-phosphate backbone). By considering a large range of sequence combinations, we reveal that the binding preference of hypoxanthine is strongly dependent on the nucleobase sequence, which may explain the varied ability of hypoxanthine to universally bind to the natural bases. As a result, we propose that future work should closely examine the interplay between the dominant nucleobase-nucleobase interactions and the overall strand stability to fully understand how sequence context affects the universal binding properties of modified bases and to aid the design of new molecules with ambiguous pairing properties.

Abstract
Computational chemistry (B3LYP, MP2) is used to study the properties of size-expanded DNA nucleobases generated by inserting a benzene spacer into the natural nucleobases. Although the addition of the spacer does not significantly affect the hydrogen-bonding properties of natural nucleobases, the orientation of the base about the glycosidic bond necessary for Watson-Crick binding is destabilized, which could have implications for the selectivity of expanded bases, as well as the stability of expanded duplexes. Consideration of the (stacked) binding energies in the preferred relative orientation of natural and expanded nucleobases aligned according to their centers of mass reveals that the stacking within natural dimers can be increased by up to 50% upon expansion of one nucleobase and up to 90% upon expansion of two nucleobases. The implications of these findings to the stability of expanded duplexes were revealed by considering simplified models of natural and mixed duplexes composed of four nucleobases. Although intra- and interstrand interactions within double helices are typically less than those predicted when nucleobases are stacked according to their centers of mass, some nucleobases utilize their full stacking potential within double helices, where both intra- and interstrand interactions can be significant. Most importantly, increasing the size of nucleobases within the duplex significantly increases both intra- and interstrand stacking interactions. Specifically, some interactions are double the magnitude of the corresponding intrastrand interactions in natural helices, and even greater increases in interstrand interactions are sometimes found. Thus, our work suggests that mixed duplexes composed of natural bases hydrogen bound to expanded bases may exploit the increase in the inherent stacking ability of the expanded bases in more than one way and thereby afford duplexes with greater stability than natural DNA.

Abstract
The hydrogen-bonding and stacking interactions of hypoxanthine, a potential universal nucleobase, were calculated using a variety of methodologies (CCSD(T), MP2, B3LYP, PWB6K, AMBER). All methods predict that the hydrogen-bonding interaction in the hypoxanthine-cytosine pair is approximately 25 kJ mol(-1) stronger than that in the other dimers. Although the calculations support suggestions from experiments that hypoxanthine preferentially binds with cytosine, the trend in the calculated hydrogen-bond strengths for the remaining natural nucleobases do not show a strong correlation with the experimentally predicted binding preferences. However, our calculations suggest that the stacking interactions of hypoxanthine are similar in magnitude to the hydrogen-bonding interactions at all levels of theory (with the exception of B3LYP, which incorrectly predicts stacked dimers to be unstable). Therefore, stacking interactions should also be considered when analyzing the stability of DNA helices containing hypoxanthine and the use of larger models that account for both hydrogen-bonding and stacking within DNA duplexes will likely result in better agreement with experimental observations. For the majority of the dimers, PWB6K and AMBER provide reasonable binding strengths at reduced computational costs, and therefore will be useful techniques for considering larger models.

Abstract
Nearest-neighbor thermodynamic parameters of the 'universal pairing base' deoxyinosine were determined for the pairs I.C, I.A, I.T, I.G and I.I adjacent to G.C and A.T pairs. Ultraviolet absorbance melting curves were measured and non-linear regression performed on 84 oligonucleotide duplexes with 9 or 12 bp lengths. These data were combined with data for 13 inosine containing duplexes from the literature. Multiple linear regression was used to solve for the 32 nearest-neighbor unknowns. The parameters predict the T(m) for all sequences within 1.2 degrees C on average. The general trend in decreasing stability is I.C > I.A > I.T approximately I. G > I.I. The stability trend for the base pair 5' of the I.X pair is G.C > C.G > A.T > T.A. The stability trend for the base pair 3' of I.X is the same. These trends indicate a complex interplay between H-bonding, nearest-neighbor stacking, and mismatch geometry. A survey of 14 tandem inosine pairs and 8 tandem self-complementary inosine pairs is also provided. These results may be used in the design of degenerate PCR primers and for degenerate microarray probes.

Abstract
The development of novel artificial nucleobases and detailed X-ray crystal structures for primer/template/DNA polymerase complexes provide opportunities to assess DNA-protein interactions that dictate specificity. Recent results have shown that base pair shape recognition in the context of DNA polymerase must be considered a significant component. The isosteric azole carboxamide nucleobases (compounds 1-5; ) differ only in the number and placement of nitrogen atoms within a common shape and therefore present unique electronic distributions that are shown to dictate the selectivity of template-directed nucleotide incorporation by DNA polymerases. The results demonstrate how nucleoside triphosphate substrate selection by DNA polymerase is a complex phenomenon involving electrostatic interactions in addition to hydrogen bonding and shape recognition. These azole nucleobase analogs offer unique molecular tools for probing nonbonded interactions dictating substrate selection and fidelity of DNA polymerases.

Abstract
Enantiomeric isodideoxynucleosides of the (S,S) and (R,R) families with the universal base, imidazole-4-carboxamide as the nucleobase, were synthesized as biological mimics of anti-HIV active D- and L-related isodideo-xyadenosines. In vitro anti-HIV evaluation in CEM cells of these target compounds showed that they were inactive. Further antiviral studies are in progress.

Abstract
The three-dimensional structures of two DNA duplexes d(CATGAGTAC). d(GTACXCATG) (1) and d(CATGAGTAC).d(GTACTCATG) (2), where X represents 1-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-3-nitropyrrole, were solved using high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and restrained molecular dynamics. Good convergence was observed between final structures derived from A- and B-form starting geometries for both 1 and 2. Structures of 1 and 2 are right-handed duplexes within the B-form conformational regime. Furthermore, the structures of 1 and 2 are highly similar, with differences in the structures localized to the vicinity of residue 14 (X versus T). The pyrrole group of 1 is in the syn conformation and it is displaced towards the major groove. Furthermore, unlike T14 in 2, the base of X14 has reduced pi-pi stacking interactions with C13 and C15 and the nitro group of X14 is pointing out of the major groove. The structures presented here establish the basis of the thermal data of DNA duplexes containing X and should be informative during the design of improved wild card nucleobase analogs.

Abstract
The 8-aza-7-deazaadenine (pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-amine) N(8)-(2'-deoxyribonucleoside) (2) which has an unusual glycosylation position was introduced as a universal nucleoside in oligonucleotide duplexes. These oligonucleotides were prepared by solid-phase synthesis employing phosphoramidite chemistry. Oligonucleotides incorporating the universal nucleoside 2 are capable of forming base pairs with the four normal DNA nucleosides without significant structural discrimination. The thermal stabilities of those duplexes are very similar and are only moderately reduced compared to those with regular Watson-Crick base pairs. The universal nucleoside 2 belongs to a new class of compounds that form bidentate base pairs with all four natural DNA constituents through hydrogen bonding. The base pair motifs follow the Watson-Crick or the Hoogsteen mode. Also an uncommon motif is suggested for the base pair of 2 and dG. All of the new base pairs have a different shape compared to those of the natural DNA but fit well into the DNA duplex as the distance of the anomeric carbons approximates those of the common DNA base pairs.

Abstract
[formula: see text] The syntheses of PNA oligomers containing potential ambiguous nucleobase analogues, namely 3-nitropyrrole and 5-nitroindole, have been accomplished. Hybridization properties of these PNAs with complementary oligodeoxynucleotides were evaluated by thermal denaturation experiments. Both novel residues exhibited little variation in Tm (< or = 1.5 degrees C) when positioned against any of the four nucleoside bases. The capability to incorporate degenerate sites should further expand the utility of PNA in applications where precise sequence information is not available.

Abstract
We compared the efficiency of PCR amplification using primers containing either a nucleotide analog or a mismatch at the 3' base. To determine the distribution of bases inserted opposite eight different analogs, 3' analog primers were used to amplify four different templates. The products from the reactions with the highest amplification efficiency were sequenced. Analogs allowing efficient amplification followed by insertion of a new base at that position are herein termed 'convertides'. The three convertides with the highest amplification efficiency were used to convert sequences containing C, T, G and A bases into products containing the respective three remaining bases. Nine templates were used to generate conversion products, as well as non-conversion control products with no base change. We compared the ability of natural bases to convert specific sites with and without a preconversion step using nucleotide analog primers. Conversion products were identified by a ligation detection reaction using primers specific for the converted sequence. We found that conversions resulting in transitions were easier to accomplish than transversions and that sequence context influences conversion. Specifically, primer slippage appears to be an important mechanism for producing artifacts via polymerase extension of a 3' base or analog transiently base paired to neighboring bases of the template. Nucleotide analogs could often reduce conversion artifacts and increase the yield of the expected product. While new analogs are needed to reliably achieve transversions, the current set have proven effective for creating transition conversions.

Abstract
Two series of modified oligonucleotides based on the self-complementary dodecamer d(CGCTAATTAGCG) were synthesized. The first contained the -C identical withCCH2R linker at C5 of deoxyuridine at position 4 (T*) of d(CGCT*AATTAGCG) and the second contained the -SR linker. The goal of the study was to evaluate and compare these two types of side chains for suitability as tethers for linking reporter groups to oligonucleotides. Our primary concern was how these tethers would effect duplex stability. The modified nucleosides were synthesized by palladium-mediated coupling reactions between the substituted alkyne and 5'-(4, 4'-dimethoxytrityl)-5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine and between a disulfide and 5-chloromercurio-2'-deoxyuridine. The C5 deoxyuridine side chains evaluated included C identical with CCH3, C identical with CCH2NHC(O)CH3, C identical with CCH2N(CH3)2, C identical with CCH2N-HC(O)C5H4N, C identical with CCH2NHC(O)C10H15, SCH3, SC6H5 and SCH2CH2NHC(O)CH3. The nucleosides containing these substituents were incorporated into oligo-deoxyribonucleotides by standard phosphoramidite methodology. Melting studies demonstrated that the sequence containing the C identical with CCH3side chain had the highest T m value (59.1 degrees C) in comparison with the control sequence (T m = 55.2 degrees C) and that any additional substituent on C3 of the propynyl group lowered the T m value relative to propynyl. Nevertheless, even the most destabilizing substituent, adamantylcarbamoyl, yielded an oligodeoxyribonucleotide that dissociated with a T m of 54 degrees C, which is only 1.2 degrees C less than the control sequence. In contrast, the thioether substituents led to lower T m values, ranging from as low as 45.1 degrees C for SPh up to 52.2 degrees C for SMe. Replacing the methyl of the SMe substituent with a CH2CH2NHC(O)CH3 tether led to no further reduction in melting temperature. The T m value of the CH2CH2NHC(O)CH3-containing oligonucleotide was less than the natural sequence by 1.6 degrees C/substituent. This is sufficiently small that it is anticipated that the C5 thioether linkage may be as useful as the acetylenic linkage for tethering reporter groups to oligonucleotides. More importantly, the thioether linkage provides a means to position functional groups to interact specifically with opposing complementary (target) sequences.

Abstract
In order to study base pairing properties of the amide group in DNA duplexes, a nucleoside analog, 1-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrole-3-carboxamide, was synthesized by a new route from the ester, methyl 1-(2'-deoxy-3',5'-di-O-p -toluoyl-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)pyrrole-3-carboxylate, obtained from the coupling reaction between 1-chloro-2-deoxy-3,5-di-O -toluoyl-d-erythropentofuranose and methyl pyrrole-3-carboxylate by treatment with dimethylaluminum amide. 1-(2'-Deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrrole-3-carboxamide was incorporated into a series of oligodeoxyribonucleotides by solid-phase phosphoramidite technology. The corresponding oligodeoxyribonucleotides with 3-nitropyrrole in the same position in the sequence were synthesized for UV comparison of helix-coil transitions. The thermal melting studies indicate that pyrrole-3-carboxamide, which could conceptually adopt either a dA-like or a dI-like hydrogen bond conformation, pairs with significantly higher affinity to T than to dC. Pyrrole-3-carboxamide further resembles dA in the relative order of its base pairing preferences (T >dG >dA >dC). Theoretical calculations on the model compound N-methylpyrrole-3-carboxamide using density functional theory show little difference in the preference for a syntau versus anti conformation about the bond from pyrrole C3 to the amide carbonyl. The amide groups in both the minimized antitau and syntau conformations are twisted out of the plane of the pyrrole ring by 6-14 degrees. This twist may be one source of destabilization when the amide group is placed in the helix. Another contribution to the difference in stability between the base pairs of pyrrole-3-carboxamide with T and pyrrole-3-carboxamide with C may be the presence of a hydrogen bond in the former involving an acidic proton (N3-H of T).

Abstract
DNA that encodes elements for degenerate replication events by use of artificial nucleobases offers a versatile approach to manipulating sequences for applications in biotechnology. We have designed a family of artificial nucleobases that are capable of assuming multiple hydrogen bonding orientations through internal bond rotations to provide a means for degenerate molecular recognition. Incorporation of these analogs into a single position of a PCR primer allowed for analysis of their template effects on DNA amplification catalyzed by Thermus aquaticus (Taq) DNA polymerase. All of the nucleobase surrogates have similar shapes but differ by structural alterations that influence their electronic character. These subtle distinctions were able to influence the Taq DNA polymerase dependent incorporation of the four natural deoxyribonucleotides and thus, significantly expand the molecular design possibilities for biochemically functional nucleic acid analogs.

Abstract
The nucleoside analogs 1-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)- 3-nitropyrrole (9), 1-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-4-nitropyrazole (10), 1-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-4-nitroimidazole (11) and 1-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-5-nitroindole (21) were incorporated into the oligonucleotide 5'-d(CGCXAATTYGCG)-3'in the fourth position from the 5'-end. Procedures for synthesis of two of the nitroazole nucleosides, 10 and 11, were developed for this study. Each of the nitroazoles was converted into a 3'-phosphoramidite for oligonucleotide synthesis by conventional automated protocols. Four oligonucleotides were synthesized for each modified nucleoside in order to obtain duplexes in which each of the four natural bases was placed opposite (position 9) the nitroazole. In order to assess the role of the nitro group on base stacking interaction, sequences were also synthesized in which the fourth base was 1-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazole. Corresponding sequences containing an abasic site, as well as sequences containing inosine, were synthesized for comparison. Thermal melting studies yielded T m values and thermodynamic parameters. Each nucleoside analog displayed a unique pattern of base pairing preferences. The least discriminating analog was 3-nitropyrrole, for which T m values differed by 5 degrees C and Delta G 25 degrees C ranged from -6.1 to -6.5 kcal/mol. 5-Nitroindole gave duplexes with significantly higher thermal stability, with Tm values varying from 35.0 to 46.5 degrees C and -Delta G 25 degrees C ranging from 7.7 to 8.5 kcal/mol. Deoxyinosine (22), a natural analog which has found extensive use as a universal nucleoside, is far less non-discriminating than any of the nitroazole derivatives. Tm values ranged from 35.4 degrees C when paired with G to 62.3 degrees C when paired with C. The significance of the nitro substituent was determined by comparison of the base pairing properties of a simple azole nucleoside, 1-(2'-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)pyrazole (12). The pyrazole-containing sequences melt at 10-20 degrees C lower than the corresponding nitropyrazole-containing sequences. On average, the pyrazole-containing sequences were equivalent in stability (average Delta G = -4.8 kcal/mol) to the sequences containing an abasic site (average Delta G = -4.7 kcal/mol).
