Simultaneous activation of carboxylates and phosphates provides multiple pathways for the generation of reactive intermediates, including mixed carboxylic acid-phosphoric acid anhydrides, for the synthesis of peptidyl-RNAs, peptides, RNA oligomers and primordial phospholipids. These results indicate that unified prebiotic activation chemistry could have enabled the joining of building blocks in aqueous solution from a common pool and enabled the progression of a system towards higher complexity foreshadowing the modern encapsulated peptide-nucleic acid system

The condensation of the 5′-O-DMT-3′-deoxy-3′-aminothymidine with 3′-O-TBDMS-thymidine- 5′-aldehyde, followed by reduction of the resultant imine derivative and removal of tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) protecting group, provided a dimer (denoted as TNHT), which is a congener of dithymidine phosphate with the phosphate linkage 3′-O-P(O)(OH)-O-5′ replaced with an amino group (–NH–). After phosphitylation of the 3′-OH group, the dimer TNHT was introduced (by the standard phosphoramidite approach) into a central part of the nonadecathymidylate. This oligomer exhibited lower affinity to the complementary single and double stranded DNA complements as compared to unmodified T19 oligonucleotide. The cleavage of modified oligomer with the snake venom and calf spleen phosphodiesterases was completely suppressed at the site of modification. RNA oligomers containing the TNHT dimer were used for preparation of siRNA molecules directed towards mRNA of BACE1 (beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme). The presence of the TNHT units at the 3′-ends of the RNA strands of the siRNA molecule (the siRNA itself is an effective gene expression inhibitor for BACE1) preserved the gene silencing activity and improved the stability of the modified siRNA in 10% fetal bovine serum.
