Synthesis of anthraquinone oligonucleotides for triplex stabilization.

The synthesis of two anthraquinone phosphoramidites is described. In both cases the anthraquinone moiety is attached via a linker to the 5-position of a uracil base, allowing incorporation at any thymidine position in an oligonucleotide sequence. Anthraquinone-modified oligonucleotides have potentia...

Sumari:The synthesis of two anthraquinone phosphoramidites is described. In both cases the anthraquinone moiety is attached via a linker to the 5-position of a uracil base, allowing incorporation at any thymidine position in an oligonucleotide sequence. Anthraquinone-modified oligonucleotides have potential applications as triplex stabilizers and fluorescence quenchers.
