Embodiment 1
[0486] Synthesis of DNA 3'-O-oxazophosphine monomers was performed as previously described (Oka et al., J.Am.Chem.Soc. 2008 130:16031–16037; and Wan et al., NAR 2014, Nov. published online). Synthesis of LNA monomers was performed as previously described (WO2016 / 079181).
Embodiment 2
[0487] Example 2 Development of Sublibrary Discovery Method
[0488] Parent compound: 5'-G s m C s a s a s g s c s a s t s c s c s t s G s T-3' (SEQ ID NO 1), where capital letters represent β-D-oxylNA nucleosides (2'-O-CH2-4' bridged nucleosides in the β-D orientation), and small letters represent DNA nucleoside, subscript s represents a stereorandom phosphorothioate linkage, and m C is 5-methylcytosine.
[0489] Assay system: Oligonucleotides were tested in vitro at a concentration of 5 μM introduced into HeLa cells by stripped delivery. Cells were harvested after 3 days.
[0490] Analysis: Hif-1α mRNA knockdown was analyzed by qPCR.
[0491] The 13-mer parent compound has 12 phosphorothioate internucleoside linkages of undetermined stereochemistry. To identify sterically defined variants of the parent compound, two alternatives are utilized:
[0492] Strategy 1: Synthesis of 236 fully stereoconstrained compounds based on the parent compound wit...
Embodiment 3
[0501] Example 3: Examining the positional requirements of the 'rssr' motif
[0502] In Example 2, we determined that the most potent sub-library and few of the most potent compounds had a sterically defined internucleoside linkage "5'–RSSR 3'" motif, which was placed in turn at positions 5 and 6 The first Rp internucleoside bond between nucleosides is positioned together, referred to as position 5 ( Figure 10 shown in ). Data for the sublibrary for the position 5–8 region are provided below:
[0503]
[0504]
[0505] See data on fully stereodefined compounds from strategy 1 in the table below:
[0506] Position 5 (5-8 three-dimensional limited)
[0507]
[0508]
[0509] Position 6 (6–9 stereoscopically limited)
[0510]
[0511] We concluded that the position of the RSSR motif is critical for its effect on potency, and that subsequently moving the RSSR motif by 1 position, for example to position 6, generally results in a net loss of potency (also 11 sh...
