The design, synthesis and application of 1,3,5-Tris(2’-aminophenyl)benzene (1) as a novel,<br />
rigid, aromatic platform for molecular receptors is presented. This molecular scaffold was<br />
efficiently prepared via Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of 2-aminophenylboronic acid<br />
with 1,3,5-triiodobenzene in the presence of Ba(OH)2, Pd(OAc)2 and (2biphenyl)<strong>di</strong>cyclohexylphosphine.<br />
1 Alternatively, triamine 1 can be prepared via one-pot<br />
borylation of 2-bromoaniline and cross-coupling of the resulting boronate ester with 1,3,5triiodobenzene.<br />

1,3,5-Tris(2’-aminophenyl)benzene 1 was used as a molecular platform for the preparation of a<br />
simple, acyclic, amide-functionalized tripodal receptor 2. The solid-state structure of receptor 2<br />
reveals that it adopts two arms “up” one “down” (partial cone) conformation. The interaction of<br />
receptor 2 with various anions was investigated in acetonitril-d6 solution. Those stu<strong>di</strong>es have<br />
shown that 2 <strong>di</strong>splay significant affinity for acetate and chloride anions (Ka=2410 and 1540<br />
respectively). Weak bin<strong>di</strong>ng interactions were seen for other anions inclu<strong>di</strong>ng H2PO4 - and Br - .<br />
Computation stu<strong>di</strong>es suggest that the lowest energy conformation for 2-Cl complex is cone<br />
conformation which is stabilized by three hydrogen bon<strong>di</strong>ng interactions.<br />

The nuclear oncoproteins Fos and Jun are members of the well known familiy of transcription<br />
factors that bind specific DNA sequences by means of a bZIP motif [1]. These proteins are<br />
overexpressed in a variety of cancers and proliferative <strong>di</strong>seases and therefore there is a great<br />
interest in antagonizing their activity [2].<br />
Our stu<strong>di</strong>es are focused on the construction of ds-oligonucleotide-peptide conjugates that can<br />
selectively target the oncoprotein Jun, owing to the presence of a bivalent bin<strong>di</strong>ng surface<br />
provided by the peptide and the oligonucleotide (see Figure).<br />
We herein decribe the synthesis of covalent conjugates between ds-DNA and a 35-aminoacid<br />
pepti<strong>di</strong>c region of the hydrophobic leucine region of c-Fos and demonstrate that these synthetic<br />
ds-DNA peptide hybrids exhibit better c-Jun sequestrating properties than either the<br />
oligonucleotide or the peptide as isolated entities. The recognition strategy allows for switching<br />
the Jun-trapping capability of the constructs by using appropriately designed ssDNAs.<br />
