General description

Deblock solution, containing dichloroacetic acid (DCA) in dichloromethane or Toluene, removes the dimethoxytrityl (DMT) protecting the group from the 5′ hydroxyl moiety of nucleotides already incorporated into the growing nucleic acid, prior to the addition of the next phosphoramidite. Removal of the DMT allows the unprotected 5′ hydroxyl moiety to react with a new phosphoramidite in a subsequent extension reaction.

Application

DCA Deblock (0.36M dichloroacetic acid in toluene) is suitable for the removal of 4,4Adimethoxytrityl (DMTr) protecting groups for the synthesis of antisense oligonucleotides in high yield and purity.

To investigate sensitization of metformin-cytotoxicity, cancer cells were treated with dichloroacetate (DCA), an inhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK). Metformin-cytotoxicity was mainly dependent on glucose availability and reducing power generated by pentose phosphate pathway, whereas DCA cotreatment enhanced metformin-cytotoxicity via
