Dentin sialoprotein (DSP), the NH2-terminal fragment of dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), is essential for dentin formation and further processed into small fragments inside the odontoblasts. Gelatinases, including matrix metalloproteinases 9 (MMP9) and MMP2, were able to cleave DSP(P) in tooth structures.
[reaction: see text] Two series of seco-pseudonucleoside synthons were synthesized from (R)-(+)-alpha-hydroxy-gamma-butyrolactone and (R)-(-)-pantolactone by aminolysis, side-chain protection, dimethoxytritylation, and phosphitylation or solid-phase attachment. The phosphoramidites and solid supports were used in automated DNA synthesis to prepare oligonucleotides modified with
