In 2017,Yamada, Takeshi; Miki, Shouta; Ul’Husna, Anisa; Michikawa, Akiko; Nakatani, Kazuhiko published 《Synthesis of Naphthyridine Carbamate Dimer (NCD) Derivatives Modified with Alkanethiol and Binding Properties of G-G Mismatch DNA》.Organic Letters published the findings.Product Details of 3395-91-3 The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Bis(naphthyridinecarbamates) of (mercaptoalkyl)dipropanolamines were prepared as thiol-containing DNA-binding compounds selective for G-G mismatches; in the presence of the G-G mismatch, the compounds undergo dimerization to form DNA complexes of the corresponding disulfides. The disulfide dimers of the naphthyridinecarbamates of (mercaptoalkyl)dipropanolamines produced 1:1 complexes with the dsDNA 5′-TCAACGGTTGA-3′:3′-AGTTGGCAACT-5′ with improved thermal stability and with higher pos. cooperativities than the corresponding thiols. The dimerization of bis(naphthyridinecarbamate) of a (mercaptoalkyl)dipropanolamine was selectively accelerated in the presence of CGG repeat DNA but not on CAG repeat DNA. In the experiment, the researchers used Methyl 3-bromopropanoate(cas: 3395-91-3Product Details of 3395-91-3)
Methyl 3-bromopropanoate(cas: 3395-91-3) belongs to bromides. Most organobromine compounds, like most organohalide compounds, are relatively nonpolar. Bromine is more electronegative than carbon (2.9 vs 2.5). Consequently, the carbon in a carbon–bromine bond is electrophilic, i.e. alkyl bromides are alkylating agents.Product Details of 3395-91-3
