Method for the synthesis of pyrrole and imidazole carboxamides on a solid support
First Claim
1. A method for preparing a polyamide containing imidazole and pyrrole carboxamide groups on a solid support comprising:
- (a) preparing a resin for attachment of the polyamide;
(b) reacting an amino acid with reagents to provide an amino acid containing an amino group which is protected and a carboxyl reactive with an amino functionality.(c) sequentially deprotecting the amino acid and adding the protected and reactive amino acids to the solid support beginning with the carboxy terminal amino acid, thereby forming the desired polyamide;
(d) cleaving the polyamide from the resin; and
(e) purifying the polyamide.

Abstract
The present invention describes a novel method for the solid phase synthesis of polyamides containing imidazole and pyrrole carboxamides. The polyamides are prepared on a solid support from aromatic carboxylic acids and aromatic amines with high stepwise coupling yields (>99%), providing milligram quantities of highly pure polyamides. The present invention also describes the synthesis of analogs of the natural products Netropsin and Distamycin A, two antiviral antibiotics. The present invention also describes a novel method for the solid phase synthesis of imidazole and pyrrole carboxamide polyamide-oligonucleotide conjugates. This methodology will greatly increase both the complexity and quantity of minor-groove binding polyamides and minor-groove binding polyamide-oligonucleotide conjugates which can be synthesized and tested.
