10-23 DNAzyme is an artificially selected catalytic DNA molecule. Its great potential as genetic therapeutics promoted chemical modifications for more efficient DNAzymes. Here, 10-23 DNAzyme was modified on its six deoxyadenosine residues (A5, A9, A11, A12, A15 in the catalytic domain and A0 of the recognition arm next to the cleavage site) with compound 1, an adenosine analogue with 2'-O-[N-(aminoethyl)carbamoyl]methyl group. A positive effect of compound 1 at A15 was observed (HJDS-05, kobs = 0.0111 min-1). Compared to the effect of 2'-H and 2'-OMe at A15, this result provided an approach for more efficient DNAzyme by combining 2'-substituted amino group of adenosine with A15 as the lead structure.
