CAS No.: 341498-08-6; SPP. PROPERTIES: Generally a white crystalline powder with melting point around 100-105 C. Molecular weight approximately 240 g/mol. Soluble in methanol and acetone, sparingly soluble in water. Requires storage at -20 C in tightly sealed containers. Safety precautions include using particulate respirators and avoiding dust inhalation. May cause respiratory tract irritation and skin dryness. APPLICATIONS: Serves as a photolabile protecting group in nucleic acid chemistry. The SPP (5-(4,6-Dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-1,3-dimethyl-2,4-dioxohexahydropyrimidin-2-ylidene) functionality allows light-controlled deprotection of oligonucleotides as described in nucleic acid synthesis literature. In gene therapy research, it is used to develop light-regulated siRNA delivery systems according to recent molecular therapeutics studies. Furthermore, this compound is valuable in creating photocleavable DNA-protein conjugates for studying transcriptional regulation mechanisms as reported in biochemistry journals.
