The invention provides new reagents and processes for synthesizing oligonucleotides, including stereoselective oligonucleotide synthesis. In a first aspect, the invention provides novel monomer synthons for the synthesis of oligonucleotides. Monomer synthons according to this aspect of the invention are useful in the synthesis of oligonucleotides and can be used in place of the well known beta-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite monomer synthon in the phosphoramidite synthesis procedure. Certain monomer synthons according to this aspect of the invention are useful in this procedure for producing oligonucleotides having defined stereochemistry.In a second aspect, the invention provides processes for synthesizing monomer synthons according to the invention, including diastereomerically enriched or purified monomer synthons. In the processes according to this aspect of the invention, the chemical reactions are stereoretentive so that the products of each reaction retain the same stereoconfiguration as their precursor reagent.In a third aspect, the invention provides processes for synthesizing oligonucleotides using the well known phosphoramidite approach. In the processes according to this aspect of the invention, any of the monomer synthons according to the invention is used in place of the conventional beta-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite.

The present invention provides new mononucleotide synthons useful in the synthesis of oligonucleotides having from one to all P-chiral centers that are predominantly and independently in the R or S configuration. The invention also provides methods of synthesizing these synthons, methods of synthesizing oligonucleotides having from one to all P-chiral centers predominantly and independently in the R or S configuration, and such oligonucleotides. Oligonucleotides synthesized with the novel synthons are useful for modulating nucleic acid expression, both in vitro and in vivo, as well as in traditional hybridization assays.
摘要:
The present invention comprises a novel method of incorporating a tritium label at one or more predetermined sites within an oligonucleotide. In particular, the method comprises contacting a nascent, support-bound oligonucleotide having a free 5' hydroxyl group with a suitable oxidizing agent to oxidize the alcohol to an aldehyde, followed by reducing the aldehyde thereby formed with a suitable tritium labeled reducing agent such as �.sup.3 H!NaBH.sub.4 to yield the 5' terminal alcohol with a 5' tritium label. Normal automated synthesis can then be continued to yield the oligonucleotide of desired length having the tritium label in the desired location. The oligonucleotides thereby produced have higher specific activity than those previously known in the art. According, in a second aspect, the present invention provides oligonucleotides having high specific acitivity. The oligonucleotides of the present invention are useful for determining the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of their non-radiolabeled counterparts, both in vitro and in vivo.
摘要:
The present invention comprises a novel method of incorporating radiolabels and other type of labels at one or more predetermined sites within an oligonucleotide. In particular, the method comprises contacting a nascent, support-bound oligonucleotide having an unprotected 5' hydroxyl group with a suitable activating agent, followed by contacting the resulting activated nascent oligonucleotide with a labeled, Y-protected mononucleotide having an unprotected 3'-hydroxyl, thereby condensing the labeled mononucleotide and nascent oligonucleotide. Normal automated synthesis can then be continued to yield the oligonucleotide of desired length having the label in the desired location. This method advantageously yields oligonucleotides with high specific activity. The oligonucleotides thereby produced are useful for determining the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of their non-radiolabeled counterparts, both in vitro and in vivo.
