Addition of small molecule Retro-1 has been described to enhance antisense and splice switching oligonucleotides. With the aim of assessing the effect of covalently linking Retro-1 to the biologically active oligonucleotide, three different derivatives of Retro-1 were prepared that incorporated a phosphoramidite group, a thiol or a 1,3-diene, respectively. Retro-1–oligonucleotide conjugates were assembled both on-resin (coupling of the phosphoramidite) and from reactions in solution (Michael-type thiol-maleimide reaction and Diels-Alder cycloaddition). Splice switching assays with the resulting conjugates showed that they were active but that they provided little advantage over the unconjugated oligonucleotide in the well-known HeLa Luc705 reporter system.

Abstract Background: A series of aryl-piperazine derivatives of 1,7,8,9-tetrachloro-10,10-dimethoxy-4-azatricyclo [5.2.1.02,6] dec-8-ene-3,5-dione were synthesized. The chemical structures of the desired compounds were identified by 1H NMR, ESI-MS and elementary analytical. The anti-cancer and anti-angiogenesis activities of the newly synthesized compounds were evaluated by proliferation and migration assays, respectively. Results: The screening results demonstrated that compounds 2 and 5 showed potent anti-tumor activity (IC50 values ranging from 7.1 to 15.9μM) with low cytotoxic activities (IC50>79.3μM). Although compound 5 showed little effects on endothelia proliferation (IC50=65.3μM), it indeed significantly abrogated endothelia cell migration (IC50=6.7μM). Conclusions: This work may impart new direction for the investigations of aryl-piperazine derivatives and lead to the development of potent novel anti-tumor and anti-angiogenesis agents.
