Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present specification relates to a method for producing a nucleoside derivative. [Background technology]
[0002] Many diseases, including cancer, are known to be caused by or related to gene mutations or abnormal gene expression. RNA medicines such as siRNA, which suppress gene expression, are useful for treating these diseases and have great pharmaceutical potential.
[0003] On the other hand, siRNA and the like have problems such as difficulty in permeating cell membranes and susceptibility to degradation by nucleases. Furthermore, although they have high target selectivity, they have the problem of difficulty in selectively transporting them to target tissues. To overcome these problems, delivery carriers such as lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are being investigated. Attempts have also been made to modify RNA ribose, such as by introducing an aminomethyl group (Non-Patent Documents 1 to 4). [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]
[0004] [Non-Patent Document 1] HELVATICA CHIMICA ACTA Vol. 83 (2000) 128-151 [Non-patent document 2] The Journal of Organic Chemistry 2012, 77, 3233-3245 [Non-patent document 3] Bioorganic & Chemistry letters(1999) 2667-2672 [Non-patent document 4] The Journal of Organic Chemistry 2013, 78, 9956-9962 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] However, despite these attempts, further improvements in the efficacy of RNA medicines are required. Delivery carriers also have shortcomings, and even these RNA modifications have not been able to achieve sufficient cell membrane permeability, ribonuclease resistance, and target tissue delivery. For these reasons, even at present, siRNAs and the like have not been able to demonstrate their inherent excellent pharmaceutical potential. Furthermore, even if practical nucleosides and the like exist for use in such RNA medicines and the like, it is desirable to efficiently provide such nucleosides and the like.
[0006] The present specification aims to efficiently provide nucleoside derivatives that are more practical for application to RNA medicines and the like. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] The present inventors focused on ribose, the sugar moiety of ribonucleotides, and discovered that providing a basic substituent such as an amino group at the 4'-position of ribose or substituting a halogen atom for the 2'-hydroxyl group can improve ribonuclease resistance and cell membrane permeability. Furthermore, the present inventors discovered a method for efficiently producing 4'-aminoalkyl nucleoside derivatives and 2'-halogenyl nucleoside derivatives. Based on these findings, the present specification provides the following means.

This production method enables efficient production of a nucleoside derivative or a salt thereof (hereinafter simply referred to as the present nucleoside derivative) that has the following advantages:
[0010] (1) They are ribonuclease-resistant and have excellent cell membrane permeability, making them suitable for administration without the use of carriers such as LNPs, which have been used for delivery of conventional RNA medicines. (2) The nucleoside derivatives are also useful as reagents for RNA-based detection probes, etc. That is, they can provide oligonucleotides suitable for various RNA reagents. (3) The nucleoside derivatives disclosed herein are based on the discovery of unexpectedly useful features after introducing various aminoalkyl-based substituents into the 4' position of ribose, which had previously been difficult to do, and examining their properties. Ribonuclease resistance has generally been achieved by substitution at the 2' or 3' position of ribose. The nucleoside derivatives disclosed herein combine unexpectedly high ribonuclease resistance with cell membrane permeability, properties useful for RNA medicines and the like.

[0012] [ka]
[0013] The present nucleoside derivative has a basic substituent at the 4' position of the ribose and deoxyribose, and thus can have charge control ability, i.e., can neutralize at least a portion of the negative charge caused by phosphate groups, etc., in an oligonucleotide having a partial structure derived from the present nucleoside derivative.
[0014] Furthermore, the cell membrane permeability of an oligonucleotide having this partial structure can be improved.
[0015] Furthermore, in an oligonucleotide having a partial structure derived from the present nucleoside derivative, the ribonuclease resistance can be improved.
[0016] In this specification, the term "lower" in a substituent in a compound represented by a formula or the like means that the number of carbon atoms constituting the substituent is up to 10.

[0061] R in the nucleoside derivative 2 For example, -P(=O) n (R 5 )R 6 It is particularly preferred that -P(=O) n (R 5 )R 6 Preferred examples of R include a phosphoramidite group, an H-phosphonate group, and a phosphonyl group. 2 In addition, R is preferably a phosphate group or a protected phosphate group. 2 is also preferably a hydrogen atom or a protecting group for a hydroxyl group.
[0062] R 2 Preferred specific examples of the alkyl group include a hydrogen atom, an acetyl group, a benzoyl group, a benzyl group, a p-methoxybenzyl group, a trimethylsilyl group, a tert-butyldiphenylsilyl group, -P(OCHCN)(N(CH(CH)), -P(OCH)(N(CH(CH)), and a phosphonyl group.
[0063] R in the nucleoside derivative 4 is preferably, for example, a protecting group for a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group, or, for example, a phosphate group, a protected phosphate group, or -P(=O) n (R 5 )R 6 It is also preferable that R 4Specific examples of preferred groups include a hydrogen atom, an acetyl group, a benzoyl group, a benzyl group, a p-methoxybenzyl group, a dimethoxytrityl group, a monomethoxytrityl group, a tert-butyldiphenylsilyl group, and a trimethylsilyl group.
[0064] [R 3 About In formula (1) and formula (2), R 3 are NHR groups each having a linking group. 7 , azido group, amidino group, or guanidino group. 7 The azido group, amidino group, or guanidino group is each bonded to the 4'-carbon atom via a linking group.
[0065] The linking group can be, for example, a divalent hydrocarbon group having one or more carbon atoms. That is, examples of the divalent hydrocarbon group include alkylene groups having 1 to 8 carbon atoms and alkenylene groups having 2 to 8 carbon atoms.
[0066] The alkylene group as a linking group may be linear or branched, but is preferably linear. For example, a lower alkyl group is preferred, such as a lower alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or a lower alkyl group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, and further, for example, a lower alkyl group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms or 2 to 3 carbon atoms is preferred. Examples of linear alkyl groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms include methylene, ethylene, propane-1,3-diyl, n-butane-1,1-diyl, n-pentyl-1,5-diyl, and n-hexyl-1,6-diyl. Other examples include butane-1,2-diyl. Particularly preferred examples include ethylene, propane-1,3-diyl, and n-butane-1,1-diyl.
[0067] The alkenylene group as a linking group may be linear or branched, preferably linear. For example, a lower alkenylene group is preferred, and examples of the lower alkenylene group include an ethene-1,2-diyl group, a propene-1,3-diyl group, and a butene-1,4-diyl group.
[0068] In the nucleoside derivative represented by formula (1), a divalent hydrocarbon group such as an alkylene group having two or more carbon atoms, such as an ethylene group, is preferred from the viewpoint of nuclease resistance and cell membrane permeability of the oligonucleotide derivative. In addition, in the nucleoside derivative represented by formula (2), a divalent hydrocarbon group such as an alkylene group having one or more carbon atoms, such as an ethylene group, is also preferred from the viewpoint of nuclease resistance and cell membrane permeability.
[0069] R 7 Examples of R include a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, or a protecting group for an amino group. In addition to the alkyl groups already described, preferred examples of the alkyl group include lower alkyl groups. In addition to the alkenyl groups already described, preferred examples of the alkenyl group include lower alkenyl groups. 7 When is a hydrogen atom or any of these groups, the linking group is suitably an alkylene group having 2 or more, such as 3 or more, such as 4 or more, and for example 6 or less, such as 5 or less, such as 4 or less carbon atoms.
[0070] Also, R 7 When is a hydrogen atom, R 3 is an NH2 (amino group) having a linking group, that is, when the linking group is an alkylene group or an alkenylene group, it becomes an aminoalkyl group or an aminoalkenyl group. In formulas (1) and (2), R 3By using an aminoalkyl group or the like, the present nucleoside derivative and the oligonucleotide derivative comprising a monomer unit derived from the present nucleoside derivative can exhibit charge-donating properties characterized by a change in charge depending on the surrounding pH environment. For example, they are cationic under acidic conditions, and the positive charge can be reduced to zero under neutral physiological conditions. In other words, this charge-adjusting ability allows the charge of the nucleoside derivative to be dynamically changed or a desired charge to be imparted as needed by changing the pH environment. Therefore, with such a nucleoside derivative, the charge of the oligonucleotide can be adjusted in a manner different from conventional methods or with a greater degree of freedom than conventional methods. From the above, R 3 The present nucleoside derivatives, in which the aminoalkyl group is such, are useful as charge (positive charge) imparting agents or charge control agents for oligonucleotides and the like.
[0071] R 3 Examples of R include an azide group, an amidino group, i.e., CH3(NH)C(NH)- (a group in which one hydrogen atom has been removed from the amino group of amidine), and a guanidino group, i.e., NH2(NH)C(NH)- (a group in which one hydrogen atom has been removed from the amino group of guanidine), each of which has a linking group. Among these, a guanidino group is particularly preferred. 3 However, when R has these groups, the linking group can be an alkylene group or alkenylene group having 1 or more carbon atoms, for example, 2 or more carbon atoms. 3 However, when the nucleoside derivative is an amidino group or guanidino group having a linking group, it is always cationic, unlike the aminoalkyl group described above. 3 is useful in combination with the present nucleoside derivatives in which the nucleoside group is an aminoalkyl group or the like.

The form of the salt is not particularly limited, but acid addition salts are generally exemplified, and may take the form of intramolecular counterions. Alternatively, depending on the type of substituent, a base addition salt may be formed. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are preferred.

[0094] Furthermore, the partial structures represented by formula (3) and formula (4) may be arranged adjacent to each other or apart from each other. For example, the present oligonucleotide derivative may have at least three of the partial structures. In this case, each partial structure may be arranged approximately evenly at the 5'-terminal side, the central portion, and the 3'-terminal side of the present oligonucleotide derivative. "Almost evenly arranged" partial structures at each of these portions of the present oligonucleotide derivative does not necessarily mean that each portion has the same number of partial structures, but it is sufficient that each portion has at least one partial structure.

The present oligonucleotide derivative may have at least six partial structures.

The oligonucleotide derivative may also be a chimera of a ribonucleotide and a deoxyribonucleotide.
[0096] The present oligonucleotide derivatives are themselves single-stranded, but can also take the form of hybrids with oligoribonucleotides, oligodeoxyribonucleotides, and oligodeoxyribo / ribonucleotides (chimeric chains), ie, double-stranded.

Furthermore, each reaction may be carried out, if necessary, under an inert gas atmosphere such as a nitrogen or argon stream.

[0105] (Method for producing the present nucleoside derivative) The present nucleoside derivatives can be synthesized, for example, according to the following schemes. The following schemes I (compounds 1 to 11), II (compounds 11 to 20), and III (compounds 15 to 66) are examples of schemes for synthesizing a uracil ribonucleoside derivative using glucose as a starting material, and then synthesizing a phosphoramidite agent for synthesizing the present oligonucleotide derivatives. The protecting groups and linking groups in the compounds in the following schemes are all examples.
[0106] (Scheme I) [ka]
[0107] (Scheme II) [ka]
[0108] (Scheme III) [ka]
[0109] That is, according to a conventional method, the above compound 2 is obtained from glucose 1. From compound 2, compounds 3 to 20 and compound 66 can be obtained based on the description in Bioorganic & Medical Chemistry 11 (2003) 211-2226, Bioorganic & Chemistry letters (1999) 2667-2672, The Journal of Organic Chemistry 2013, 78, 9956-9962, HELVATICA CHIMICA ACTA Vol. 83 (2000) 128-151, etc., as well as Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry 11 (2003) 2211-2226, Bioorganic & Chemistry letters (1999) 2667-2672.
[0110] According to the present specification, the present nucleoside derivatives can be efficiently obtained, for example, by substituting a part of the method for producing the present nucleoside derivatives exemplified by the above Schemes I to III to include at least one of the reactions represented by the following formulas (5) to (7).
[0111] [ka]
[0112] In the above formulas (5) to (7), R 10 and R 11 are each independently or R 10 and R 11 together represent a protecting group for a hydroxyl group, and R 12 represents Equation (8), and R 14 represents an alkylene group, Bn represents a benzyl group, and Tf represents a trifluoromethylsulfonyl group.
[0113] The reaction of the above formula (5) can replace, for example, part of the steps from compound 1 to compound 4 exemplified in the above scheme I. Below, alternative scheme I including the reaction of formula (5) is shown. The reaction represented by formula (5) corresponds to the reaction from compound 2 to compound 3 in alternative scheme I. Details of alternative schemes I to III shown below in order will be explained in the examples below.
[0114] [ka]
[0115] According to the reaction represented by formula (5), R 3This method can reduce the number of steps required for introducing a group (e.g., an aldehyde group) for introducing an aminoalkyl group. In conventional Scheme I, in order to selectively protect the diol of the two hydroxymethyl groups linked to the 4' position of ribose, it was necessary to separate the isomers by-produced in the reaction of Compounds A and B in Alternative Scheme I (corresponding to Compounds 2 and 3 in Scheme I) using column chromatography on silica gel or the like. However, by using the reaction represented by formula (5), i.e., by using Compound 2 in Alternative Scheme I and then converting Compound 2 to Compound 3, a hydroxymethyl group can be stereoselectively introduced at the 4' position of ribose to obtain Compound 3, which is a single stereoisomer. Compound 3 can also be crystallized and purified, avoiding the need for separation of unintended isomers and allowing Compound 3 in Alternative Scheme I to be obtained in high yield.
[0116] In addition, the alternative schemes I to III do not include R at the 4' position. 3 In this example, an aminoethyl group (the linking group is an ethylene group) is introduced as the linking group. However, other linking groups such as an aminopropyl group (the same propylene group) or other R 3 Alternatively, a Wittig reaction as shown in Scheme I can be used to introduce other alkyl groups into the R group, such as amino alkyl groups. 3 Alternatively, the Horner-Emmons reaction can be used to introduce an olefin that can be converted to R, such as the intended aminoalkyl. 3 It is also possible to introduce an olefin that can be converted to an aminopropyl group. For example, the 4'-position can be modified to be convertible to an aminopropyl group using the Horner-Emmons reaction as follows. Such a reaction is described, for example, in Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry 11 (2003) 2211-2226.
[0117] [ka]
[0118] Furthermore, according to the present specification, the reactions represented by the following formulas (5)' and (5)'' can be carried out following the reaction of formula (5) or instead of the reaction of formula (5). These reactions can partially replace the other steps from Compound 1 to Compound 4 exemplified in the above Scheme I, and when combined, they correspond to the reaction from Compound 3 to Compound 5 in Alternative Scheme I. The reaction of formula (5)' is a reaction for protecting the 5'-hydroxyl group of the compound on the left side of the formula, and the reaction of formula (5)'' is a reaction for protecting the R at the 4'-position of the compound on the left side of the formula. 12 is a reaction that converts the aldehyde group into an aldehyde group.
[0119] [ka]
[0120] According to the reactions represented by formula (5)' and formula (5)'', the hydroxyl groups at the 1'-, 2'-, 3'-, and 5'-positions of ribose are efficiently protected from the compound obtained by the reaction represented by formula (5), and a compound (the compound on the right side of formula (5)'') in which preparation for introduction of an aminoalkyl group at the 4'-position is made can be efficiently obtained in high yield. The reaction of formula (5)' is a reaction in which, for example, a proton is abstracted from the hydroxyl group of the hydroxymethyl group at the 4'-position using a strong base such as sodium hydride, and a benzyl halide such as benzyl bromide is used to introduce a benzyl group as a protecting group to the 5'-position hydroxyl group. The reaction of formula (5)'' is a reaction in which an oxidizing agent such as sodium periodate is used to remove the proton from the hydroxyl group of the hydroxymethyl group at the 4'-position. 12 to an aldehyde group.
[0121] The aldehyde group of the compound on the right side of the reaction (5)'' obtained in this way can be converted into a vinyl group by a Witting reaction using methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide or the like, and then a hydroxyl group can be added to the vinyl group to convert it into a hydroxyethyl group.
[0122] For example, the present inventors have confirmed that by combining the reactions represented by formulas (5), (5)', and (5)'', the number of steps from compound 1 to compound 5 in Alternative Scheme I can be reduced from 8 steps in the corresponding conventional method to 5 steps, and the yield in the corresponding conventional method (typically 28%) can be increased to 48%.
[0123] The reaction of the above formula (6) is carried out by attaching an azide group (R 14 The reaction of formula (6) above can replace, for example, part of the steps from Compound 6 to Compound 10 exemplified in Scheme I above. That is, it can replace part of the step of introducing an azide group at the 4'-position of ribose. Alternative Scheme II including the reaction of formula (6) is shown below. The main part of Alternative Scheme II is the step from Compound 7 to Compound 10 in Alternative Scheme II. The reaction represented by formula (6) corresponds to the reaction from Compound 7 to Compound 8 in Alternative Scheme II.
[0124] [ka]
[0125] According to the reaction represented by formula (6), compound 8 can be obtained from compound 7 in Alternative Scheme II by azidation using the Mitsunobu reaction. Previously, compound 7 was considered unsuitable as a starting material for the Mitsunobu reaction because it was predicted that a side reaction would occur if the protecting group for the 5'-hydroxyl group was a benzyl group. Furthermore, the use of benzyl groups for the 3'- and 5'-hydroxyl protecting groups makes it possible to omit the step of replacing the protecting group (compounds 57 to 64) for deprotection in Scheme III to obtain a 2'-halogenated nucleoside derivative.
[0126] The Mitsunobu reaction typically involves the reaction of a secondary alcohol with diethyl azodicarboxylate, triphenylphosphine (Ph3P), and benzoic acid, resulting in stereoinversion (S NThe hydroxyl group can be azidoted by the Mitsunobu reaction using an azido reagent such as diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA).
[0127] Furthermore, according to the present specification, following the reaction of formula (6), reactions from compound 8 to compound 9 and from compound 9 to compound 10 in Alternative Scheme II can be carried out. By carrying out these reactions, compound 10 in Alternative Scheme II (compound 11 in Scheme 1) can be obtained efficiently and in good yield. In particular, the yield of compound 10 can be improved by carrying out hydrolysis and acetylation of the isopropylidene group in compound 8 in Alternative Scheme II in two steps.
[0128] For example, the present inventors have confirmed that the yield in the process from Compound 5 to Compound 10 in Alternative Scheme II by combining the reactions represented by formula (6) can be increased to 65%, compared to the corresponding yield in the conventional method (typically 19%).
[0129] The reaction of formula (7) above is a reaction for introducing a halogen atom into the 2'-position of ribose in the compound on the left side of formula (7). The reaction of formula (7) above can replace, for example, part of the steps from compound 10 to compound 11 in scheme I above, through compound 11 to compound 15 in scheme II above, and from compounds 15 to 61 in scheme III above. That is, it can replace part of the step for introducing a halogen atom into the 2'-position of ribose. Alternative scheme III, which includes the reaction of formula (7), is shown below. The main part of alternative scheme III is the step from compound 12 to compound 17 in alternative scheme III. The reaction represented by formula (7) corresponds to the reaction from compound 15 to compound 16 in alternative scheme III.

[0131] According to the reaction represented by formula (7), a fluorination reaction is carried out using compound 15 in Alternative Scheme III, thereby enabling the production of a 2'-halogenated compound in a higher yield than in conventional Scheme III. Furthermore, as described above, since the protecting groups for the hydroxyl groups at the 3' and 5' positions are both benzyl groups, the step of replacing the protecting groups can be omitted compared to Scheme III, and as a result, the deprotection step can be shortened.
[0132] Furthermore, according to the present specification, reactions represented by the following formulas (7)' and (7)" can be carried out prior to or independently of the reaction of formula (7). These reactions correspond to the steps from compound 12 to compound 15 in Alternative Scheme III. That is, the reaction of formula (7)' is a reaction for deprotecting and inverting the hydroxyl group at the 2'-position of the compound on the left side of the formula, and the reaction of formula (7)" is a reaction for introducing a Tf group into the hydroxyl group at the 2'-position of the compound on the left side of the formula.
[0133] [ka]
[0134] According to the reactions represented by formula (7)' and formula (7)'', the compound used in formula (7) can be obtained efficiently and in high yield.
[0135] For example, the present inventors have confirmed that by combining the reactions represented by formulas (7), (7)', and (7)'', the number of steps from compound 10 to compound 18 in Alternative Scheme III can be reduced to 7 steps, compared to 10 steps in the corresponding conventional method, and that the yield in these steps can be increased to 50%, compared to the yield in the corresponding conventional method (typically 22%).
[0136] After the alternative schemes I to III, a nucleoside derivative can be obtained, for example, according to the following scheme: The following schemes IV and V will also be described in detail in the examples below.
[0137] [ka]
[0138] [ka]
[0139] R in the above formula 10 and R 11 The protecting group for the hydroxyl group in is not particularly limited as long as it is a protecting group for a hydroxyl group, and examples thereof include cyclic acetal-type protecting groups such as a methoxymethylene acetal group, an isopropylidene group, a methylene acetal group, and an ethylidene acetal group, a methyl group, a benzyl group, a benzoyl group, a t-butyl group, an acetyl group, a methoxymethyl group, a 2-methoxyethoxymethyl group, a trimethylsilyl group, a triethylsilyl group, a t-butyldimethylsilyl group, a methylthiomethyl group, a trifluoroacetyl group, a benzyloxycarbonyl group, a t-butoxycarbonyl group, a triphenylmethyl group, a toluoyl group, and a 4-methoxymethylphenyl group.
[0140] R 1 and R 2 The hydroxyl-protecting group in (1) is preferably a hydroxyl-protecting group that can be deprotected by acid hydrolysis. Examples of the hydroxyl-protecting group that can be deprotected by acid hydrolysis include cyclic acetal-type protecting groups such as methoxymethylene acetal, isopropylidene, methylene acetal, and ethylidene acetal, as well as methoxymethyl, trimethylsilyl, triethylsilyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl, methylthiomethyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, t-butoxycarbonyl, and triphenylmethyl.
[0141] R10 and R 11 From the viewpoint of reaction efficiency and stereoselectivity, R 10 and R 11 In the case where the above groups are united together, a cyclic acetal type protecting group such as a methoxymethylene acetal group, an isopropylidene group, a methylene acetal group or an ethylidene acetal group is preferred, and an isopropylidene group is particularly preferred.
[0142] R in the above formula 14 has the same meaning as the linking group in R3. 15 is a leaving group, and examples thereof include a methanesulfonyl group, a chloromethanesulfonate group, etc. Among these, a methanesulfonyl group is preferred.
[0143] By using the above alternative schemes I to III, which include the reactions represented by formulas (5) to (7), the number of steps can be reduced to about 70% of the total, and the total yield can be improved by at least two times or more, for example, three times or more, or even up to about four times.
[0144] By using at least one of the reactions represented by formulas (5) to (7), the present nucleoside derivatives can be efficiently obtained, and as a result, the present oligonucleotide derivatives having the partial structures represented by formulas (3) and (4) can also be efficiently obtained. That is, by using such nucleoside derivatives, synthesis can be performed using a known DNA synthesizer, and the obtained oligonucleotide derivatives can be purified using a column, and the purity of the product can be analyzed by reverse-phase HPLC or MALDI-TOF-MS to obtain purified present oligonucleotide derivatives. Note that methods for converting the present oligonucleotide derivatives into acid addition salts are well known to those skilled in the art.
[0145] The present oligonucleotide derivatives have a specific N-containing group at the 4'-position of ribose via a linking group, which allows the effective charge of RNA to be adjusted while maintaining in vivo RNA functions such as RNA interference, thereby improving ribonuclease resistance and cell membrane permeability.
[0146] The present oligonucleotide derivative can have at least two of this partial structure. By having multiple of this partial structure, cell membrane permeability, ribonuclease resistance, etc. can be reliably improved and adjusted. The present oligonucleotide derivative can also have at least three of this partial structure.
[0147] In the present oligonucleotide derivative, the site(s) containing one or more of the present partial structures is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, on either or both the 5'-end and 3'-end. The 5'-end and 3'-end refer to regions ranging from the respective ends of the polymer chain of the present oligonucleotide, each of which refers to a region consisting of an appropriate number of structural units, for example, not more than 30% of all structural units of the polymer chain. The proportion of the range from the above-mentioned ends varies depending on the total length of the polymer chain, but can be, for example, 25% or less, for example, 20% or less, for example, 10% or less, or for example, 5% or less. More specifically, the 5'-end and 3'-end can refer to regions of, for example, 1 to 30, for example, 1 to 25, for example, 1 to 20, for example, 1 to 15, for example, 1 to 10, for example, 1 to 8, for example, 1 to 6, for example, 1 to 5, for example, 1 to 4, for example, 1 to 3, or for example, 1 to 2 nucleoside derivative-derived building blocks from each end. The present oligonucleotide derivative can have one or more of these partial structures in any of these terminal regions. Preferably, two or more can be included. The present oligonucleotide derivative can also have this partial structure in either or both of the 5'-end and 3'-end (i.e., the first building block from each end).
[0148] The present oligonucleotide derivative may have one or more of the present partial structures in the central portion, i.e., a portion other than the 5'-end and 3'-end portions. By having the present partial structure in the central portion of the present oligonucleotide derivative, it becomes easier to improve and adjust ribonuclease resistance and cell membrane permeability. It also becomes easier to adjust the charge of the entire oligonucleotide.
[0149] The present oligonucleotide derivative may also have this partial structure at either or both of the 5'-end and 3'-end, and in the central portion. Preferably, one or more of this partial structure can be provided at each of the 5'-end, 3'-end, and central portion. In this way, by providing this partial structure approximately evenly or dispersedly as a whole, ribonuclease resistance, cell membrane permeability, and charge controllability can be improved. From the viewpoint of improving properties, it is useful to provide two or more of this partial structure in the central portion of the present oligonucleotide derivative.
[0150] The partial structure in the oligonucleotide derivative can be a partial structure derived from a ribonucleoside derivative represented by formula (3) or a partial structure derived from a deoxyribonucleotide derivative represented by formula (4). The ribonucleoside derivative represented by formula (3) and the partial structure of formula (4) can be used as a substitute for a ribonucleoside derivative by including uracil (U), a base in RNA, as the base of B.
[0151] In addition, this partial structure is R in formulas (3) and (4). 3 The linking group is an alkylene group having 1 or 2 or more carbon atoms, and NHR 7 In view of ribonuclease resistance, cell membrane permeability, and charge controllability, it is preferable that R 7may be a hydrogen atom or an acyl group having an alkyl group having about 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The alkylene group may be an ethylene group, a propylene group, a butylene group, a pentylene group, a hexylene group, or the like. It may also be, for example, an ethylene group, a propylene group, a butylene group, or the like. It may also be, for example, an ethylene group, a propylene group, or the like. By using an ethylene group or a propylene group as a linking group, it is possible to obtain higher ribonuclease resistance, cell membrane permeability, and charge controllability than when a methylene group is used.
[0152] The partial structure may also be an amidino group, an azide group, or a guanidino group having a linking group. High ribonuclease resistance and cell membrane permeability can also be achieved by providing such a functional group. In this case, the linking group may be an alkylene group having one or more carbon atoms.
[0153] In addition, this partial structure is R in formula (3) and formula (4). 3 The linking group is preferably an alkyl group having about 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and more preferably, for example, the lower limit of the number of carbon atoms is 2 or more, for example, 3 or more. Such a structure is effective for ribonuclease resistance and cell membrane permeability.
[0154] The present oligonucleotide derivative preferably has at least six of these partial structures, which is advantageous in terms of ribonuclease resistance, cell membrane permeability, and charge controllability. [Example]
