During the F–-promoted deprotection of the oligo–RNA, synthesized using our 2′-O-(4-tolylsulfonyl)ethoxymethyl (2′-O-TEM) group [Org. Biomol. Chem. 5, 333 (2007)], p-tolyl vinyl sulphone (TVS) is formed as a by-product. The TVS formed has been shown to react with the exocyclic amino functions of adenosine (A), guanosine (G), and cytidine (C) of the fully deprotected oligo–RNA to give undesirable adducts, which are then purified by HPLC and unambiguously characterized by 1H, 13C Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation (HMBC) NMR and mass spectroscopic analysis. The relative nucleophilic reactivities of the nucleobases toward TVS have been found to be the following: N6–A > N4–C > N2–G > > N3–U. This reactivity of TVS toward RNA nucleobases to give various Michael adducts could, however, be suppressed by using various amines as scavengers. Among all these amines, morpholine and piperidine are the most efficient scavenger for TVS, which gave highly pure oligo–RNA even in the crude form and can be used directly in RNA chemical biology studies.Key words: RNA synthesis, RNA alkylation, p-tolyl vinyl sulphone, Michael addition.

Cells exposed to antitumor plant alkaloids, vinblastine and vincristine sulfate have large proteinacious crystals and complexes of ribosomes, helical polyribosomes and electron-dense granular material (ribosomal complexes) in their cytoplasm, Binding of H3-colchicine by the in vivo crystals shows that they contain microtubular proteins. Association of ribosomal complexes with the crystals suggests that these structures may be interrelated.In the present study cultured human leukemic lymphoblasts (CCRF-CEM), were incubated with protein and RNA-synthesis inhibitors, p. fluorophenylalanine, puromycin, cycloheximide or actinomycin-D before the addition of crystal-inducing doses of vinblastine to the culture medium. None of these compounds could completely prevent the formation of the ribosomal complexes or the crystals. However, in cells pre-incubated with puromycin, cycloheximide, or actinomycin-D, a reduction in the number and size of the ribosomal complexes was seen. Large helical polyribosomes were absent in the ribosomal complexes of cells treated with puromycin, while in cells exposed to cycloheximide, there was an apparent reduction in the number of ribosomes associated with the ribosomal complexes (Fig. 2).
