RESUMO
The psoralen derivative 4,5',8-trimethylpsoralen was covalently linked to the 5'-terminus of an 18mer oligodeoxyribonucleotide in the course of solid phase synthesis using phosphoroamidite chemistry. The derivative was introduced as a phosphitylation compound in the last cycle of the oligomer synthesis. The reagent was prepared by 4'-chloromethylation of 4,5',8-trimethylpsoralen, introduction of a linker by ethanediol and phosphitylation with chloro-[(beta-cyanoethoxy)-N,N-diisopropylamino]-phosphine. After oxydation and deprotection the 5'-psoralen modified oligodeoxyribonucleotide was characterised by HPLC. Hybridisation of the psoralen-modified oligomer to a complementary single stranded 21mer followed by irradiation at 350 nm revealed a photo-cross-linked double-stranded DNA fragment analysed on denaturing polyacrylamide gels. The cross-link could be reversed upon irradiation at 254nm.
