Abstract
Two molecular umbrella-nucleoside conjugates (1a and 1b) have been synthesized via thiolate-disulfide displacement by adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiomonophosphate) and adenosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate) on an activated dimer derived from cholic acid, spermidine, and 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid). Both conjugates readily enter the aqueous compartment of liposomes made from 1-palmitoyl-2-oleyol-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and release the free nucleoside upon reaction with entrapped glutathione. Approximately 50% of the thiolated form of AMP is released within 20 min at 23 degrees C; 120 min is required for a similar release of the thiolated form of ATP. The facile cleavage of these conjugates by glutathione, together with the fact that mammalian cells contain millimolar concentrations of this tripeptide in their cytoplasm, suggest that such chemistry may be extended to the practical development of prodrugs, e.g., antisense oligonucleotides that can be delivered into cells.
