    摘要: The present invention comprises a new class of oligonucleobases (e.g., oligonucleotides), which we call “pseudo-cyclic oligonucleotides” (PCOs). PCOs contain two oligonucleotide segments attached through their 3′-3′ or 5′-5′ ends. One of the segments (the “functional segment”) of the PCO has some functionality (e.g., an antisense oligonucleotide complementary to a target mRNA). Another segment (the “protective segment”) is complementary to the 3′- or 5′-terminal end of the functional segment (depending on the end through which it is attached to the functional segment). As a result of complementarity between the functional and protective segment segments, PCOs form intramolecular pseudo-cyclic structures in the absence of the target nucleic acids (e.g., RNA). PCOs are more stable than conventional antisense oligonucleotides because of the presence of 3′-3′ or 5′-5′ linkages and the formation of intramolecular pseudo-cyclic structures. Pharmacokinetic, tissue distribution, and stability studies in mice suggest that PCOs have higher in vivo stability than and, pharmacokinetic and tissue distribution profiles similar to, those of PS-oligonucleotides in general, but rapid elimination from selected tissues. When a fluorophore and quencher molecules are appropriately linked to the PCOs of the present invention, the molecule will fluoresce when it is in the linear configuration, but the fluorescence is quenched in the cyclic conformation. Such oligos are useful for diagnostic purposes.

    摘要: The present invention provides novel compounds and methods for purifying oligonucleotides. The compounds according to the invention are multimeric oligonucleotides comprising a multimerization domain for inducing multimeric oligonucleotide aggregation, a hybridization domain that is complementary to a target oligonucleotide whose isolation is desired, and a linker domain connecting the multimerization domain and the hybridization domain. Other compounds of the invention comprise dendrimers having oligonucleotides with hybridization domains linked thereto.The methods of the invention comprise contacting the compounds of the invention with a solution containing a target oligonucleotide whose purification is desired. The target oligonucleotide hybridizes to the hybridization domain of the inventive compounds, thereby forming an aggregate. Synthetic failure sequences (N-1, N-2, etc.) and other oligonucleotides not complementary to the hybridization domain do not hybridize with the hybridization domain of the compounds and remain free in solution. Conventional size exclusion chromatography or small pore filter membranes are then used to separate the aggregate (and hence target oligonucleotide) from the other oligonucleotides. The aggregate is denatured and the target oligonucleotide separated once again by size exclusion chromatography or with a small pore filter membrane.
