Definitions
- This invention relates to universal bases and their uses.
- Universal bases are extensively used in primers, probes, hybridization, sequencing, cloning and the diagnostic detection of infectious targets.
- a universal base analogue forms base pairs with each of the natural bases with little discrimination between them (Loakes et al., 1997; Loakes, 2001 ).
- Desirable requirements for a universal base include the ability to: a) pair with all natural bases equally in a duplex, b) form a duplex which primes DNA synthesis by a polymerase, c) direct incorporation of the 5 '-triphosphate of each of the natural nucleosides opposite it when copied by a polymerase, (d) be a substrate for polymerases as the 5 '-triphosphate, e) be recognized by intracellular enzymes such that DNA containing them may be cloned. (Loakes et al., 1997). At present no analogue has been shown to have all these characteristics.
- a universal 2 '-deoxy inosine analogue 7-octadiynyl-7-deaza-2'-deoxyinosine has also been disclosed (Ming et al., 2008).
- the nucleobase of this analogue shows universal binding properties with the four natural bases in a 12-mer oligonucleotide with T m 's that varies from 45°C for C to 34°C for G.
- the present disclosure pertains to functional i/ed 3-alkynyl- 1 H- pyrazolo[ 3.4-d )pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones as universal bases and their methods of use.
- 3-alkynyl- lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one-based analogues function unexpectedly well as universal bases. Not only do they stabilize duplexes substantially more than hypoxanthine opposite A, C. and T but they are also recognized in primers by polymerases, allowing efficient amplification.
- l H-Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin- 4(5H)-ones substituted at the 3-position with hydroxylalkynyl (IPPOH) or aminoalkynyl (IPPNH 2 ) are preferred as universal bases.
- the 3-alkynyl-lH-pyrazoIo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one analogues can be incorporated into novel nucleic acid primers and probes. They do not significantly destabilize nucleic acid duplexes, as other universal bases do. As a result, the novel nucleic acid primers and probes incorporating the 3-alkynyl-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one analogues can be used in a variety of methods.
- 3-alkynyl- 1 H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one analogues can also be substituted with pyrene or acridine to further increase duplex stability. It is to be appreciated that other similar polyaromatics with 0 to 3 hetero atoms will produce similar stabilization.
- Figure 1 shows the structure of 2 ' -deoxyinosine and 2-deoxy-p-D- ribofuranosyl- (5H)-ones.
- Figure 2 shows the possible hydrogen bonds between hypoxanthine and the natural nucleic acid bases.
- Figure 3 shows, without being bound by theory, proposed hydrogen bonds between 3-(aminobutynyl)-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one and the normal nucleic bases.
- Figure 4 shows a reaction scheme for synthesis of a protected (2-deoxy-p- D-ribofuranosy l)-3 -hydroxybuyny 1 - 1 H-pyrazolo[3 ,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5 H)-one 5 ' - phosphoramidite.

Abstract
3-alkynyl inosine analogs and their uses as universal bases are provided. The inosine analogues can be incorporated into nucleic acid primers and probes. They do not significantly destabilize nucleic acid duplexes. As a result, the novel nucleic acid primers and probes incorporating the inosine analogues can be used in a variety of methods. The analogs function unexpectedly well as universal bases. Not only do they stabilize duplexes substantially more than hypoxanthine opposite A, C, T, and G but they are also recognized in primers by polymerases, allowing efficient amplification.
Description
FUNCTIONALIZED 3-ALKYNYL PYRAZOLOPYRIMIDINE ANALOGUES AS UNIVERSAL BASES AND METHODS OF USE
[0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of and claims priority to U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 13/556,513, entitled "FUNCTIONALIZED 3-ALKYNYL INOS1NE ANALOGUES AS UNIVERSAL BASES AND METHODS OF USE," filed July 24, 2012, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61/466,755, entitled "FUNCTIONALIZED 3-ALKYNYL INOSINE ANALOGUES AS UNIVERSAL BASES AND METHODS OF USE," filed on March 23, 201 1 , the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUND
[0002] This invention relates to universal bases and their uses.
[0003] Universal bases are extensively used in primers, probes, hybridization, sequencing, cloning and the diagnostic detection of infectious targets. A universal base analogue forms base pairs with each of the natural bases with little discrimination between them (Loakes et al., 1997; Loakes, 2001 ). Desirable requirements for a universal base include the ability to: a) pair with all natural bases equally in a duplex, b) form a duplex which primes DNA synthesis by a polymerase, c) direct incorporation of the 5 '-triphosphate of each of the natural nucleosides opposite it when copied by a polymerase, (d) be a substrate for polymerases as the 5 '-triphosphate, e) be recognized by intracellular enzymes such that DNA containing them may be cloned. (Loakes et al., 1997). At present no analogue has been shown to have all these characteristics.
[0004] Hypoxanthine functions as a universal pairing base (Graig, 1966). Nearest- neighbor thermodynamics of 2'-deoxyinosine (2-deoxy-P-D-ribofuranosyl-hypoxanthine) pairs in DNA duplexes have been reported (Watkins and SantaLucia, 2005). The general trend in stability was reported as I:C>I:A>I:T~I:G>I :I.
has found use as a universal nucleoside and is far less non-discriminating than nitroazole derivatives (Bergstrom et al, 1997). Tm values vary from 35.4 °C when paired with G to 63.2 °C when paired with C. A universal 2 '-deoxy inosine analogue 7-octadiynyl-7-deaza-2'-deoxyinosine has also been disclosed (Ming et al., 2008). The nucleobase of this analogue shows universal binding
properties with the four natural bases in a 12-mer oligonucleotide with Tm's that varies from 45°C for C to 34°C for G.
[0005] Destabilization of a duplex when a natural base is substituted with a universal base is a relatively common occurrence and one of the weaknesses of most universal bases in the art.

SUMMARY
[0006] The present disclosure pertains to functional i/ed 3-alkynyl- 1 H- pyrazolo[ 3.4-d )pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones as universal bases and their methods of use.
[0007] 3-alkynyl- lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one-based analogues function unexpectedly well as universal bases. Not only do they stabilize duplexes substantially more than hypoxanthine opposite A, C. and T but they are also recognized in primers by polymerases, allowing efficient amplification. l H-Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin- 4(5H)-ones substituted at the 3-position with hydroxylalkynyl (IPPOH) or aminoalkynyl (IPPNH2) are preferred as universal bases.
[0008] Nucleosides containing functional ized 3-alkynyl- l H-pyrazolo[3,4- d]pyrimidine-4-ones structures have been disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 7,045,610, incorporated herein by reference, but no hybridization characteristics of oligonucleotides containing these bases or direct synthetic methods were disclosed.
[0009] The 3-alkynyl-lH-pyrazoIo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one analogues can be incorporated into novel nucleic acid primers and probes. They do not significantly destabilize nucleic acid duplexes, as other universal bases do. As a result, the novel nucleic acid primers and probes incorporating the 3-alkynyl-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one analogues can be used in a variety of methods. The 3-alkynyl- 1 H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one analogues can also be substituted with pyrene or acridine to further increase duplex stability. It is to be appreciated that other similar polyaromatics with 0 to 3 hetero atoms will produce similar stabilization.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
I. Definitions
[0033] Unless stated otherwise, the following terms and phrases have the meanings provided below:
[0034] The term "target sequence" refers to a sequence in a target RNA, or DNA that is partially or fully complementary to the mature strand. The target sequence can be described using the four bases of DNA (A, T, G, and C), or the four bases of RNA (A, Li, G, and C).
[0035] The term "complementary" refers to the ability of polynucleotides to form base pairs with one another. Base pairs are typically formed by hydrogen bonds between nucleotide units in antiparallel polynucleotide strands. Complementary polynucleotide strands can base pair in the Watson-Crick manner (e.g., A to T, A to U, C to G), or in any other manner that allows for the formation of duplexes, including the wobble base pair formed between U and G. As persons skilled in the art are aware, when using RNA as opposed to DNA, uracil rather than thymine is the base that is considered to be complementary to adenosine. However, when a U is denoted in the context of the present invention, the ability to substitute a T is implied, unless otherwise stated. The inosine modified bases of the pending application hybridize with similar stabilities than those of normal base pairs. It is therefore viewed that the term "complementary" includes hybridization of the functional ized 3-alkynyl- l H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-ones as universal bases to A, C, T or G.
[0036] The term "substantially" complementary refers to the ability of an oligonucleotide to form base pairs specifically with another oligonucleotide where said oligonucleotide may contain one or more mismatches.
[0037] The term "duplex" refers to a double stranded structure formed by two complementary or substantially complementary polynucleotides that form base pairs with one another, including Watson-Crick base pairs and U-G wobble pairs that allow for a stabilized double stranded structure between polynucleotide strands that are at least partially complementary. The strands of a duplex need not be perfectly complementary for a duplex to
form, i.e.. a duplex may include one or more base mismatches. In addition, duplexes can be formed between two complementary regions within a single strand (e.g., a hairpin).
or modified form thereof, as well as an analog thereof. Nucleotides include species that comprise purines, e.g., adenine, hypoxanthine, guanine, and their derivatives and analogues, as well as pyrimidines, e.g., cytosine, uracil, thymine, and their derivatives and analogues. Nucleotide analogues include nucleotides having modifications in the chemical structure of the base, sugar and/or phosphate, including, but not limited to, 5-position pyrimidine modifications, 8-position purine modifications, modifications at cytosine exocyclic amines, and substitution of 5-bromo-uracil; and 2'-position sugar modifications, including but not limited to, sugar-modified ribonucleotides in which the 2'-OH is replaced by a group such as an H, OR, R, halo, SH, SR. Ni l;. NHR, NR2, or CN, wherein R is an alkyl moiety. Nucleotide analogues are also meant to include nucleotides with bases such as inosine, queuosine, xanthine, sugars such as 2'-methyl ribose, non-natural phosphodiester linkages such as in ethylphosphonates, phosphorothioates and peptides.
[0039] The term "modified bases" refers to those bases that differ from the naturally-occurring bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, and urasil) by addition or deletion of one or more functional groups, differences in the heterocyclic ring structure (i.e., substitution of carbon for a heteroatom, or vice versa), and/or attachment of one or more linker arm structures to the base. Preferred modified nucleotides are those based on a pyrimidine structure or a purine structure, with the latter more preferably being 7 deazapurines and their derivatives and pyrazolopyrimidines (described in PCT WO 01/84958); and also described in U.S. Patent No. 6, 127, 121. Preferred modified bases are 5- substituted pyrimidines and 3-substituted pyrazolopyrimidines. Examples of preferred modified bases are 6-amino- l H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one (PPG or Super G ), 4-am i no- 1 H-py razo lo[ 3.4-d ] p rim id ί ne. l//-pyrazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-6(7/ )-dione. 6- amino-3-prop- 1 -ynyl-5-hydropyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine-4-one,

[0040] The terms "universal bases" and "degenerative bases" refer to natural base analogues that are capable of forming base pairs with two or more natural bases in DNA or RNA with little discrimination between them. Universal and degenerative bases are well known in the art and disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 7,348,146 that is incorporated by reference. Oligonucleotide conjugates containing an inosine analog of the current disclosure may also comprise one or more universal and degenerative bases, in addition to the naturally-occurring bases adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine and uracil.
[0041] The term "nucleotide" is also meant to include what are known in the art as universal bases. By way of example, universal bases include, but are not limited to, 3- nitropyrrole, 5-nitroindole, or nebularine. The term "nucleotide" is also meant to include the N3' to P5' phosphoramidate, resulting from the substitution of a ribosyl 3 '-oxygen with an amine group. Further, the term nucleotide also includes those species that have a detectable label, such as for example a radioactive or fluorescent moiety, or mass label attached to the nucleotide.
[0042] The term "linker" refers to a moiety that is used to assemble various portions of the molecule or to covalently attach the molecule (or portions thereof) to a solid support. Additionally, a linker can include linear or acyclic portions, cyclic portions, aromatic rings or combinations thereof.
[0043] The term "protecting group" refers to a grouping of atoms that when attached to a reactive group in a molecule masks, reduces or prevents that reactivity. Examples of protecting groups can be found in T.W. Greene and P.O. Puts. Protective Groups in Organic Chemistry. (Wiley, 2nd cd. 1991 ), Beaucage and Iyer, Tetrahedron 48:2223-231 1 (1992), and Harrison and Harrison et a/., Compendium of Synthetic Organic Methods, Vols. 1 -8 (John Wiley and Sons. 1971-1996). Representative amino protecting groups include formyl, acetyl, trifluoroacetyl, benzyl, benzyloxycarbonyl (CBZ), fcr/-butoxycarbonyl (Boc), trimethyl silyl (TMS), 2-trimethylsilyl-ethanesulfonyl (SES), trityl and substituted trityl groups, allyloxycarbonyl, 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (FMOC), nitro-veratryloxycarbonyl (NVOC) and the like. Representative hydroxy protecting groups include those where the hydroxy group is either acylated or alkylated such as benzyl and trityl ethers as well as alkyl ethers, tetrahydropyranyl ethers, trialkylsilyl ethers and allyl ethers. These protecting groups can be removed under conditions which are compatible with the integrity of a compound of interest. Deprotection conditions are well known in the art and described in the references above.
[0044] The term "alkyl" refers to a linear, branched, or cyclic saturated monovalent hydrocarbon radical or a combination of cyclic and linear or branched saturated monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having the number of carbon atoms indicated in the prefix. For example, (Ci-C8)alkyl is meant to include methyl, ethyl, «-propyl, 2-propyl, tert-butyl, pentyl, cyclopentyl, cyclopropylmethyl and the like.
[0045] There is extensive guidance in the art for selecting quencher and fluorophore pairs and their attachment to oligonucleotides (Haugland, 1996; U.S. Patent Nos. 3,996,345 and 4,351 ,760 and the like). Preferred quenchers are described in co-owned U.S. Patent No. 6,727,356, incorporated herein by reference. Other quenchers include bis azo quenchers (U.S. Patent No. 6,790,945) and dyes from Biosearch Technologies, Inc. (provided as Black Hole™ Quenchers: BH-1 , BH-2 and BH-3), Dabcyl. TAMRA and carboxytetramethyl rhodamine.
[0046] Minor groove binder oligonucleotide conjugates (or "'probes'") have been described (see U.S. Patent No. 5,801 , 155 and U.S. Patent No. 6,312,894, both hereby incorporated by reference). These conjugates form hyper-stabilized duplexes with complementary DNA . In particular, sequence specificity of short minor groove binder probes
is excellent for high temperature applications such as PG R. The probes/conjugates of the present disclosure can also have a covalcntly attached minor groove binder. A variety of suitable minor groove binders have been described in the literature. See, for example, Kutyavin. et al. U.S. Patent No. 5,801 , 155; Wemmer, D.E., and Dervan P.B., Current Opinon in Structural Biology, 7:355-361 ( 1997); Walker, W.L., Kopka, J.L. and Goodsell, D.S., Biopolymers, 44:323-334 (1997); Zimmer, C & Wahnert, U. Prog. Biophys. Molec. Bio, 47:3 1 - 1 12 (1986) and Reddy. B.S.P., Dondhi, S.M., and Lown, J . W., Pharmacol. Therap., 84: 1 -1 1 1 (1999).
[0047] Suitable methods for attaching minor groove binders (as well as reporter groups such as fluorophores and quenchers) through linkers to oligonucleotides are described in, for example, U.S. Patent Nos. RE 38,416; 5,512,677; 5,419,966; 5,696,251 ; 5,585,481 ; 5,942,610 and 5,736,626.
[0048] A nucleotide mono-phosphate, nucleotide di-phosphate or a nucleotide triphosphate processing enzyme is an enzyme that utilizes a nucleotide mono-phosphate, nucleotide di-phosphate or a nucleotide triphosphate as one of its substrates. A nucleotide mono-phosphate, a nucleotide di-phosphate or a nucleotide triphosphate nucleic acid processing enzyme catalyzes modifications to nucleic acids or nucleic acid intermediates using either a nucleotide mono-phosphate, nucleotide di-phosphate or a nucleotide triphosphate as one of the substrates. Nucleotide mono-phosphate, nucleotide di-phosphate or nucleotide triphosphate enzymes include but are not limited to primer extension enzymes, DNA polymerases, RNA polymerases, restriction enzymes, nicking enzymes, repair enzymes or ligation enzymes.
[0049] The synthesis of pyrazolopyrimidine-monophosphate and pyrazolopyrimidine-triphosphate analogs has been disclosed in U.S. Patent No. RE 38,416.
[0050] The practice of the present invention will employ, unless otherwise indicated, conventional techniques in organic chemistry, biochemistry, oligonucleotide synthesis and modification, bioconjugate chemistry, nucleic acid hybridization, molecular biology, microbiology, genetics, recombinant DNA, sequencing, next generation sequencing and related fields as are within the skill of the art. These techniques are fully explained in the literature. See, for example, Sambrook, Fritsch & Maniatis, Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory
Manual, Second Edition, Cold Spring 1 (arbor Laboratory Press (1989); Lee 1 1 et al.. Methods

[0051] Amplification procedures are those in which many copies of a target nucleic acid sequence are generated, usually in an exponential fashion, by sequential polymerization and/or ligation reactions. In addition to the more traditional amplification reactions discussed below, the present invention is useful in ampl ifications involving three- way j unctures (see, WO 99/37085), signal amplification (see Capaldi, et al., Nuc. Acids Res. , 28:E21 (2000)), T7 polymerases, reverse transcriptase, RNase H, R I -PCR. Rolling Circles, cleavase and the like. Isothermal amplification methods have been reviewed (cc Niemz, A. et al Trends Biotechnol, 29: 240-50 (201 1 )). The "term oligonucleotide primers adjacent to a probe region" refers to when 0 or one or more base separate the primer and probe. The term "overlapping with said probe region" is defined as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 7,319,022. The term "Ct" refers to the fractional PCR cycle number at which the reporter fluorescence is greater than the threshold.
[0052] Many amplification reactions, such as PCR, utilize reiterative primer- dependent polymerization reactions. A primer is a nucleic acid that is capable of hybridizing to a second, template nucleic acid and that, once hybridized, is capable of being extended by a polymerizing enzyme (in the presence of nucleotide substrates), using the second nucleic acid as a template. Polymerizing enzymes include, but are not limited to, DNA and RNA polymerases and reverse transcriptases, etc. Conditions favorable for polymerization by different polymerizing enzymes are well-known to those of skill in the art. See, for example, Sambrook et al, supra; Ausubel, et al, supra; Innis et al., supra. Generally, in order to be extendible by a polymerizing enzyme, a primer must have an unblocked 3 '-end, preferably a free 3 ' hydroxyl group. The product of an amplification reaction is an extended primer, wherein the primer has been extended by a polymerizing enzyme.

[0054] In certain embodiments, such as when R2 in the formulas above is a polyphosphate group, this resulting polyphosphate analog can be a diphosphate or
triphosphate. These polyphosphate analogs can be used in enzyme catalyzed primer extension reactions.
[0055] In certain embodiments the present inosine analogues are also useful in oligomers and in intermediates for oligonucleotide synthesis. In particular, the inosine analogues can also include compounds of Formulas III and IV below:
Formula III Formula IV
wherein:
R1 is H;

[0056] In preferred embodiments, the modified oligonucleotides incorporating the present inosine analogues are comprised of glycosidic moieties, preferably 2- deoxyribofuranosides wherein all internucleoside linkages are the naturally occurring phosphodiester linkages. In alternative embodiments however, the 2-deoxy-P-D-ribofuranose groups are replaced with other sugars, for example, β-D-ribofuranose. In addition, β-D- ribofuranose may be present wherein the 2-OH of the ribose moiety is alkylated with a C 1 -5
alkyl group (2-(0— C alkyl) ribose) or with a C2-6 alkenyl group (2-(0— C2-6 alkenyl) ribosc). or is replaced by a fluoro group (2-fluororibose). Related oligomer-forming sugars useful in the present invention are those that are "locked'*, i.e.. contain a methylene bridge between C- 4* and an oxygen atom at C-2". Other sugar moieties compatible with hybridization of the oligonucleotide can also be used, and arc known to those of skill in the art, including, but not limited to, a-D-arabinofuranosides, a-2'-deoxyribofuranosides or 2'.3'-dideo\y-3'- aminoribofuranosides. Oligonucleotides containing a -D-arabinofuranosides can be prepared as described in U.S. Patent No. 5, 177, 196. Oligonucleotides containing 2',3'-dideoxy-3'- aminoribofuranosides are described in Chen et al. 1995. Synthetic procedures for locked nucleic acids (Singh et al, 1998; Wengel J., 1998) and oligonucleotides containing 2'-halogen- 2'-deoxyribofuranosides (Palissa et al., 1987) have been described. The phosphate backbone of the modified oligonucleotides described herein can also be modified so that the oligonucleotides contain phosphorothioate linkages and/or methvlphosphonates and/or phosphoroamidates (Chen et al., 1995). Combinations of oligonucleotide linkages are also within the scope of the present invention. Still other backbone modifications are known to those of skill in the art.
[0057] In another group of embodiments, the inosine analogues described herein are incorporated into PNA and DNA/PNA chimeras to balance Tm s and provide modified oligonucleotides having improved hybridization properties. Various modified forms of DNA and DNA analogues have been used in attempts to overcome some of the disadvantages of the use of DNA molecules as probes and primers. Among these are peptide nucleic acids ("PNAs"), also known as polyamide nucleic acids (Nielsen et al. 1991 ). PNAs contain natural RNA and DNA heterocyclic base units that are linked by a polyamide backbone instead of the sugar-phosphate backbone characteristic of DNA and RNA. PNAs are capable of hybridization to complementary DNA and RNA target sequences and, in fact hybridize more strongly than a corresponding nucleic acid probe. The synthesis of PNA oligomers and reactive monomers used in the synthesis of PNA oligomers have been described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,539,082; 5,714,331 ; 5,773,571 ; 5,736,336 and 5,766,855. Alternate approaches to PNA and DNA/PNA chimera synthesis and monomers for PNA synthesis have been summarized (Uhlmann et al. 1998). Accordingly, the use of any combination of normal bases. 3-aIkynyl- l l l-pyrazolo[ 3.4-d]pyrimidin-4(5I l)-one analogue bases, universal bases and minor groove binders to balance the Tm of a PNA or DNA/PNA chimera is in the scope of this
invention. The synthetic methods necessary for the synthesis of modi fied base monomeric units required for PNA and PNA/DNA chimeras synthesis are available in this application and Uhlmann et al. 1998.
[0058] Example compounds of the invention are shown in Figure 1 . Figure 2 illustrates the hydrogen bonds that occur between hypoxathine and the natural nucleic acid basis. As indicated, and without being bound by theory, those skilled in the art view hypoxanthine as forming two hydrogen bonds with the normal nucleic acid bases in duplex formation. Figure 3 illustrates, again without being bound by theory, proposed hydrogen bond formation with NH2Bu-PPI with natural bases in a duplex.
[0059] The present 3-alkynyl- l H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one-based analogues function unexpectedly well as universal bases. Not only do they stabilize duplexes substantially more than hypoxanthine opposite A, C, and T but they are also recognized in primers by polymerases, allowing efficient amplification. In the case of G, binding is similar to that observed with inosine. In some embodiments, the 3-alkynyl-l H-pyrazolo[3,4- d]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one-based analogues are further substituted with pyrene or acridine to provide increased duplex stability.
[0060] The unexpected properties of the 3-alkynyl-lH-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin- 4(5H)-one-based analogues of the present invention may be applied to essentially any methodologies that are based on nucleic acid hybridization and/or involve participation of nucleic acid processing enzymes. The term nucleic acid processing enzyme concerns any enzyme that is involved in a chemical transformation or physical manipulation of nucleic acids or their components. Accordingly, the 3-alkynyl- l H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4(5H)- one-based analogues are useful in all hybridization based techniques, including but not limited to detection of more than one target, amplification of more than one target, use of arrays, use of processing enzymes, conversion of intermediates, sequencing, and others.

In the case of G similar Tms are observed for both deoxyinosine and the analogues of the invention.
[0143] It is also observed that the aminobutynyl-substituted analog (107) stabilizes A,T and C pairs greater than any other studied analogues.

[0150] It can be seen that the duplex containing the 3-(hydroxybutynyl)- l H- pyrazolo[3,4-D]pyrimidin-4(5H)-one is-substituted for three A's and two T's, amplified well at 56° and 60°C with cts of 36 and 36 respectively. In contrast the same substitutes with inosine, only amplified at 56°C with a Ct of 42. In the case of G, similar Tms are observed for both deoxyinosine and the analogues of the invention, this illustrate that primers with multiple aminobutyl substitutions amplify well at 60UC while a primer similarly substituted with inosines did not amplify at this temperature, this again confirms that ability of aminobutyl analog of the invention to stabilize duplexes when substituted; in this case for A and T.
EXAMPLE 10
[0151] This example illustrates that when 3-( 3-(hydroxybutynyl)-l H- pyrazolo[3,4-D]pyrimidin-4(5h)-one is substituted for T in a primers it is recognized by the polymerase as a G and that C is incorporated as the complementary base in the synthesized amplicon.
[0152] PCR was performed as described in Example 9. The target sequence and primer sequences are shown in Figure 17. The amplicons obtained from amplification with the natural primer, the F(dl) primer and the F(I07) primer were submitted for sequencing analysis. The sequences of the amplicons generated by these primers are shown in Figure 17. The amplicon generated by the natural primer incorporated two As complementary to the Ts in the primers. However, with the F(dl) primer and the F(I07) primer tw o Cs were incorporated in each case. Therefore DNA polymerase incorporated a C complementary to the inosine and the aminobutylinosine.
EXAMPLE 11
[0153] The use of pyrene modified nucleotides to increase duplex stability is understood in the art. Kumar et al. attached pyrene to the 5"-position of thymidine or to the 2' -posit ion of uridine with either a rigid tria/ole- or more flexible tria/ole methylene linkers. The pyrene substituted to the 5 '-position tended to intercalate with increase stability while substitution with the more rigid linker tended to decrease duplex stability. C2'-Pyrene- functionalized triazole-linked DNA/RNA universal hybridization probes were evaluated as promising universal probes (Sau & Hrdlica). Pyrene directly attached to the 1 '-position of the deoxyribofuranose ring demonstrated selective and stable base pairing without hydrogen bonding when incorporated to an oligonucleotide (Matray & Kool).
[0154] Laser-vaporization and multiphoton ionization of anthracene-linked deoxythymine monophosphate has also been studied (Srinivansan et al). Acridine was attached to the to 5 '-end of an 1 1 mer oligonucleotide was achieved by solid-phase synthesis using the phosphoramidite derivative of 2-methoxy-6-chloro-9-aminoacidine (Sun et al.; Thuong & Chassignnol).
[0155] The pyrene-substituted inosine phosphoramidite 35 was synthesized in two steps from intermediate 25 as shown in Figure 18. .A general procedure for the synthesis of oligonucleotides containing pyrene and acridine moieties is shown in Figure 19. Amine modified oligonucleotide precursors were treated with the corresponding PFP esters to give respectively 1 -pyreneacetate (n=l I07-Ac-pyr) and 1 -pyrenebutyrate (n=3 I07-Ac-pyr ) deriviatives. A similar approach yielded the acridine derivative (107-Acr).

[0163] This example illustrates the post-synthetic preparation of oligonucleotides containing 3-aminobutynyl-(2-deoxy- -D-ribofuranosyl)-l H-pyrazolo[3.4-d]pyrimidin- 4(5H)-ones substituted with pyrene and acridine moieties.
[0164] General procedure for the preparation of PFP 1 -pyreneacetate and, 1 - pyrenebutyrate.
[0165] Pentafluorophenyl trifluoroacetate ( 1 .1 eq) was added to a solution of 1 - pyreneacetic acid or 1 -pyrenebutyric acid and triethylamine (1.5 eq) in DCM (5 ml/mmol). The resultant mixture was kept at room temperature for 1 h and concentrated in vacuo. The residue from the reaction of 1-pyreneacetic acid was diluted with ether, the obtained solid collected by filtration, washed with ether and dried in vacuo to give PFP 1 -pyreneacetate (54% yield), which was used without further purification. The residue from the reaction of 1 - pyrenebutyric acid was diluted with DCM, washed twice with saturated aqueous NaCl, dried over MgS04, filtered from drying agent and concentrated in vacuo to give PFP 1 - pyrenebutyrate ( 103% yield), which was used without further purification.
[0166] Oligonucleotides that contained Pyrene and Acridine moieties were synthesized by a treatment of amine-modified oligonucleotide precursors (75 nmol) with solution of corresponding PFP-ester ( 1 μιηοΐ) and triethylamine ( 14.4 μιηοΐ) in dry DMSO (70 μΐ) for 1 day at room temperature. The modified oligonucleotides were purified by CI 8 reverse phase chromatography in a gradient of acetonitryl in 0.1 M triethylammonium
bicarbonate buffer. The identity and purity of all modified oligonucleotides were confirmed by mass spectroscopy.
EXAMPLE 14
[0167] This example evaluates the effect on melting temperature of a number of oligonucleotides when substituted with pyrene-inosine analogs of the disclosure. The inosine analogs are shown below:
[0168] These analogs were substituted in the duplex sequence shown below:
5 ' - CTTTTAXGTCTT
3 ' -GAAAATYCAGAA
X=I07, 107-Pyr, I07-(Ac-Pyr) l , I07-(Ac-Pyr)2, I07-Bu-Pyr
Y= A, C, G, T
[0169] The results are summarized in Figure 20. As shown the Tm for when X=I07 and Y = G and T is lower compared to Y=A and C. When X is substituted with the different single and bi-substituted pyrene analogs the Tms of Y=A and C are substantially increased over that of 107 substitution. Especially 107-pyr not only increases the Tms when hybridized to A. T, C and G but it equalizes the Tms of C, A and T with an increase in the Tm of G, making this analog more universal.
EXAMPLE 15
[0170] This example evaluates the effect on melting temperature of a number of oligonucleotides when substituted with inosine, 104, 107, 107-pyr and 107-acr, shown below:
[0171] These analogs were substituted in the sequence (position 6) shown below:
GTAAGXAGACATAAC
[0172] The results are summarized in Figure 21 . As shown when inosine is hybridized to A, T, C and G, the Tm drops below that of the matched duplex. In contrast to inosine, 107, 107-pyr and 107-acr have Tms similar to the matched Tm for A, T and C. 107-pyr show an increase in Tm of that observed with inosine when hybridized to G.
EXAMPLE 16
[0173] This example is similar to that of Example 15 except that the substitutions are now made at position 9. The analogs were substituted in the sequence (position 9) shown below:
GTAAGTAGXCATAAC
[0174] In this case, 104, 107, 107-pyr and 107-acr clearly increase Tms for A, T and C over inosine, especially for T and C (Figure 22).
EXAMPLE 17
[0175] This example illustrates the effect on Tm of two substitutions in an oligonucleotide with the following sequence:
GTAAGXCAGXCATAAC
[ 176] In this case inosine, 104, 107, 107-pyr and 107-acr are numbered respectively 1 to 5. Clearly the substitution of two bases by inosine substantially drops the Tms over that of the match.( Figure 23). The substitution of 107, 107-pyr and 107-acr performs
well compared to inosine to increase Tms substantially for all substitutions tested except for GG substitution. For many o the substitutions the Tms are comparable to that of the match. The increases in Tms of the GT and TG substitutions are noteworthy.
