Research Abstract |
In this study, we designed new thiol-containing recognition molecules for the covalent capture of 8-nitroguanosine based on the Gclamp skeleton by introducing thioalkylurea linker units of varying length (nitroG-grasp). The nitroG-grasp compound with C3 linker exhibited the most efficient guanylation even at low concentrations, supporting the selective complex formation for efficient reactivity for 8-nitro-G. The cyclen unit was attached to G-clamp molecule to recognize 8-oxoGTP, as a model compound of the cyclen-nitroG-grasp molecule. The Zn-complex of the cyclen-oxoG-clamp was able to discriminate 8-oxoGTP from GTP in aqueous media. The cyclen unit was also introduced to the nitroG-grasp molecule, which exhibited guanylation reaction for 8-nitroGMP without forming complex with zinc cation. In conclusion, this study has established the molecular basis for covalent capture of 8-nitroGTP and 8-nitroGMP.
