چکیده
We describe the synthesis and characterization of novel phosphorothioate-methylphosphonate backbone-modified oligodeoxynucleotide co-polymers. These may have potential use as antisense constructs.

Synthesis of 3H-labeled nucleoside-methyl[CT3]phosphonamidite and incorporation into methylphosphonate oligonucleotides for biodistribution and biostability studies.
Antisense oligonucleotides, complementary to certain gene sequences, are designed to hybridize to mRNA and inhibit the synthesis of disease related cellular or viral proteins (1-3). Although numerous in vitro studies have established a great deal of therapeutic potential for these oligonucleotides, there are still many unresolved properties of these oligomers which are critical to drug developm...
متن کاملDuplex stabilities of phosphorothioate, methylphosphonate, and RNA analogs of two DNA 14-mers.
The duplex stabilities of various phosphorothioate, methylphosphonate, RNA and 2'-OCH3 RNA analogs of two self-complementary DNA 14-mers are compared. Phosphorothioate and/or methylphosphonate analogs of the two sequences d(TAATTAATTAATTA) [D1] and d(TAGCTAATTAGCTA) [D2] differ in the number, position, or chirality (at the 5' terminal linkage) of the modified phosphates. Phosphorothioate deriva...
متن کاملSelecting optimal oligonucleotide composition for maximal antisense effect following streptolysin O-mediated delivery into human leukaemia cells.
It is widely accepted that most cell types efficiently exclude oligonucleotides in vitro and require specific delivery systems, such as cationic lipids, to enhance uptake and subsequent antisense effects. Oligonucleotides are not readily transfected into leukaemia cell lines using cationic lipid systems and streptolysin O (SLO) is used to effect their delivery. We wished to investigate the opti...
متن کاملModified (PNA, 2'-O-methyl and phosphoramidate) anti-TAR antisense oligonucleotides as strong and specific inhibitors of in vitro HIV-1 reverse transcription.
Natural beta-phosphodiester 16mer and 15mer antisense oligonucleotides targeted against the HIV-1 and HIV-2 TAR RNAs respectively were previously described as sequence-specific inhibitors of in vitro retroviral reverse transcription. In this work, we tested chemically modified oligonucleotide analogues: alpha-phosphodiester, phosphorothioate, methylphosphonate, peptide nucleic acid or PNA, 2'- ...
متن کاملOptimization of Antisense Oligodeoxynucleotide Structure
Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides targeted to bcr-ab1 are potential ex vivo purging agents for use with autologous bone marrow transplantation in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). We investigated, in a cell-free system, the activity and nuclease resistance of phosphodiester, phosphorothioate, chimeric methylphosphonate/phosphodiester, and chimeric methylphosphonate/phosphorothio...
