Abstract:
The present relates to LNA gapmer antisense oligonucleotides which comprise stereodefined phosphoramidite linkages. The use of stereodefined phosphoramidite linkages in LNA gapmers has been found to provide enhanced RNaseH activity, and modifying stereospecificity enables the reduced toxicity, altered biodistribution, and enhanced mismatch discrimination.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of identifying stereodefined phosphrothioate oligonucleotide variants with reduced toxicity by creating and screening libraries of stereodefined chiral phosphorothioate variants for compounds with reduced toxicity, either in vitro or in vivo.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the manufacture of allofuranose from glucofuranose as defined in the description and in the claim. Allofuranos is an intermediate in the manufacture of oligonucleotides which can be used as a medicament.
Abstract:
The present invention provides stereodefined phosphorothioate LNA oligonucleotide, comprising at least one stereodefined phosphorothioate linkage between a LNA nucleoside and a subsequent (3') nucleoside.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of oligonucleotide conjugates and to methods of synthesis thereof. In the present method a low-water content solvent environment allows a more efficient conjugation, reducing the amount of conjugate moiety needed and increasing the conjugation reaction speed.
Abstract:
Recent advancements in LNA oligonucleotides include the use of amine linkers to link an LNA antisense oligonucleotide to a conjugate group. For example please see WO2014/118267. The present invention originates from the identification of a problem when de-protecting LNA oligonucleotides which comprise an aliphatic amine group and DMF protected LNA G nucleoside, which results in the production of a +28 Da impurity. This problem is solved by using acyl protection groups on the exocyclic nitrogen of the LNA-G residue, rather than the standard DMF protection group.
