Abstract

Four 6-substituted 4-amino-pyrimido[4,5-b]indole 2′-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dABXTPs) were prepared by glycosylation of 4,6-dichloropyrimidoindole followed by ammonolysis, cross-coupling and triphosphorylation. They were found to be moderate to good substrates for DNA polymerases in primer extension. They also exerted fluorescence with emission maxima 335–378nm. When incorporated to oligonucleotide probes, they did not show significant mismatch discrimination but the 6-benzofuryl 4-amino-pyrimido[4,5-b]indole nucleotide displayed a useful sensitivity to protein binding in experiment with SSB protein.
