Growing interest in gene targeting drugs has inspired the development of a multitude of nucleic acid analogues, many of which feature substitutions in the phosphodiester moiety of the backbone (reviewed by Mesmaeker et al. 1995 and Nielsen, 1995). Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is an example of a more radical redesign of DNA. The entire sugar-phosphate backbone is substituted by a chain of peptide-like N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine units so that an achiral and uncharged DNA-mimic is obtained (Fig. 1; Nielsen et al. 1991). The synthesis is based on standard peptide chemistry (Christensen et al. 1995) and has been automated. PNA can relatively easily be modified to include modifications of the backbone as well as of the bases (Hyrup & Nielsen, 1996). PNA is chemically stable and, in contrast to natural nucleic acids and peptides, PNA is expected to remain intact in living cells since it is not a substrate for natural hydrolytic enzymes and is not degraded by cell extracts (Demidov et al. 1994).

A number of N-substituted thymine and adenine derivatives, 2a, b and 3a, b, were synthesized by the coupling reaction of 1-bromo-2,2-diethoxyethane with the corresponding base. The corresponding peptide nucleic acid (PNA) analogues, N-substituted ethylamino-3-hydroxypropanoate derivatives 5a, b and ethylamino-3-hydroxybutanoate derivatives 6a, b, were synthesized from the corresponding 2-[3,4-dihydro-5-methyl-2,4-dioxopyrimidin-1(2H)- yl]-acetaldehyde (3a) and 2-[6-amino-4H-purin-9(5H)-yl]-acetaldehyde (3b), respectively. The synthesized compounds were tested for their antiviral activity against hepatitis B virus (HBV). The plaque reduction infectivity assay was used to determine the virus count reduction as a result of the treatment with the tested compounds.

A new dual-recognition fluorescent biosensor for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) detection has been developed, which combines the clamping function of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) and terminal protection of small-molecule-linked DNA (TPSMLD).
