The development of a new method for synthesizing deoxyoligonucleotides is described. The synthesis begins by derivatizing high-performance liquid chromatography grade silica gel to contain 5''-O-(dimethoxytrityl)deoxynucleosides linked through the 3''-hydroxyl to a carboxylic acid functional group on the support. This matrix is then packed into a column which is attached to a pump and a series of valves. The chemical steps for the addition of 1 nucleotide to the support are as follows: detritylation using ZnBr2 in nitromethane (30 min); condensation of a 5''-O-(dimethoxytrityl)deoxynucleoside (3''-methoxytetrazoyl)phosphine with the support-bound nucleoside (60 min); blocking unreacted, support-bound nucleoside hydroxyl groups with diethoxytriazolylphosphine (5 min); and oxidation of phosphites to phosphates with I2 (5 min). Completed deoxyoligonucleotides are isolated by sequential treatment with thiophenol and ammonium hydroxide, purification by reverse-phase chromatography and treatment with 80% acetic acid. The method is extremely fast (< 2.5 h are needed for each nucleotide addition cycle), yields in excess of 95% per condensation are obtained and isolation of the final product is a simple 1-step column purification. The syntheses of d(C-G-T-C-A-C-A-A-T-T) and d(A-C-G-C-T-C-A-C-A-A-T-T) were carried out as a test of this method. Yields of support-bound deoxyoligonucleotides were 64 and 55%; the isolated yield of deoxydecanucleotide was 30%. Both synthetic products were homogeneous and biologically active by every criteria so far tested.
