The syntheses and RNA cleavage efficiencies of a new series of oligonucleotide conjugates of Cu(II)−serinol−terpyridine and 1,3-propanediol are reported. These reagents, termed ribozyme mimics, were designed such that they would yieldmultipleunpaired RNA residues directly opposite the site of the RNA cleavage catalyst upon ribozyme mimic−RNA duplex formation. This design effect was implemented using the 1,3-propanediol linker3, which mimics the three-carbon spacing between the 5‘- and 3‘-hydroxyls of a natural nucleotide. Incorporation of one or more of these 1,3-propanediol linkers at positions directly adjacent to the serinol−terpyridine modification in the ribozyme mimic DNA strand resulted in cleavage at multiple phosphates in a complementary 31-mer RNA target sequence. The linkers effectively created artificial mismatches in the RNA−DNA duplexes, rendering the opposing RNA residues much more susceptible to cleavage via the transesterification/hydrolysis pathway. The RNA cleavage products produced by the various mimics correlated directly with the number and locations of the linkers in their DNA strands, and the most active ribozyme mimic in the series exhibited multiple turnover in the presence of excess 31-mer RNA target.
