Synthesis and fluorescent properties of bi- and tricyclic 4-N-carbamoyldeoxycytidine derivatives

J Org Chem. 2007 Jan 5;72(1):102-8. doi: 10.1021/jo0617767.

Abstract

New bi- and tricyclic deoxycytidine derivatives (dChpd, dCmpp, dCtpp, dCppp) were synthesized as analogues of a fluorescent nucleoside, dChpp, previously reported. The carbamoyl group of dChpd and the 5-position of the cytosine ring are bridged via an ethylene linker so that the modified group forms a nonplanar structure with the cytosine ring. The fluorescent study of dChpd indicated that the coplanar structure between the carbamoyl group and the cytosine ring is of importance. N-Methylation of the carbamoyl group (dCmpp) weakened the intensity of the fluorescence of dChpp, and the derivative (dCtpp), which had a thiocarbamoyl group, lost its fluorescent property. Moreover, addition of a pyrrolo-ring (dCppp) to dChpp enhanced the intensity of fluorescence, and an emission light was observed with a marked Stokes shift of 120 nm.
