AI Technical Summary
Natural oligonucleotides suffer from low stability and activity, making them ineffective as therapeutic agents, and conventional capping methods in oligonucleotide synthesis lead to high impurity formation and reduced yield.
Implementing a dual capping strategy involving pre- and post-modification capping steps with selective amidation conditions, reducing or eliminating the use of strong nucleophiles like DMAP and NMI, and optimizing the timing of capping steps to improve purity and yield in chiral-controlled oligonucleotide synthesis.
The method significantly enhances crude product purity and yield while minimizing impurities, particularly in stereoselective oligonucleotide synthesis, by strategically positioning capping steps and using reduced levels of nucleophiles.

Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] Cross-reference of related applications This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 821,423, filed on 20 March 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. [Background technology]
[0002] background Oligonucleotides can contain various modifications. Certain modifications, such as phosphorothioate internucleotide linkages, can introduce novel chiral centers into oligonucleotides. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0003] overview Oligonucleotides are useful for many purposes. However, natural oligonucleotides have been shown to have drawbacks, such as low stability and low activity, which can reduce or even render them ineffective as therapeutic agents. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] Specific technologies have been developed that can improve the properties and utility of oligonucleotides. For example, specific modifications that can improve the properties and utility of oligonucleotides, such as modifications to nucleic acid bases, sugars, and / or internucleotide bonds, have been described. Furthermore, technologies that enable the preparation of stereochemically and / or chirally controlled oligonucleotide compositions have been demonstrated to provide particularly useful and effective oligonucleotide compositions. Specific useful exemplary technologies are described, for example, in U.S. Patent Application Publication Nos. 20150211006, 20170037399, 20180216107, 20180216108, 20190008986, 20180216107, 20180216108, and 20190008986. These publications are described in one or more of the following: International Publication No. 2017 / 015555, International Publication No. 2017 / 015575, International Publication No. 2017 / 062862, International Publication No. 2018 / 067973, International Publication No. 2017 / 192679, International Publication No. 2017 / 210647, International Publication No. 2018 / 223056, International Publication No. 2018 / 237194, International Publication No. 2019 / 032607, etc. (each of which is incorporated herein by reference).
[0005] In particular, given the demonstrated desirability and usefulness of chiral-controlled oligonucleotide compositions, the applicant has understood that there would be great benefit in developing technologies that could improve or accelerate the production of oligonucleotide compositions, especially chiral-controlled oligonucleotide compositions. This disclosure describes specific such developments and provides technologies relating to oligonucleotide compositions, especially chiral-controlled oligonucleotide compositions. The technologies provided may be particularly useful, for example, with respect to therapeutic oligonucleotides.
[0006] In particular, this disclosure encompasses the recognition that certain techniques used in the preparation of oligonucleotides, especially chiral-controlled (e.g., sterically pure) oligonucleotide compositions, may involve the generation of certain impurities and / or the use of certain reagents and / or conditions, including conditions and / or sequence of steps, and that the associated production costs can be further reduced and the associated work can be further improved. In some embodiments, this disclosure therefore identifies the causes of problems and / or challenges related to strategies that have utilized such techniques. In some embodiments, this disclosure provides techniques (e.g., reagents, conditions, reactions, sequence of steps, cycles, methods, etc.) that are described and demonstrated to result in dramatic improvements in crude product purity and yield, significant improvements in work efficiency and / or reductions in production costs.
[0007] For example, in some embodiments, certain techniques provided utilize chiral auxiliary groups that can be readily removed with a base without utilizing HF and / or basic conditions and / or high temperatures, which can cause severe cleavage of oligonucleotide chains and / or undesirable conversion of certain internucleotide bonds (e.g., formation of native phosphate bonds from phosphorothioate internucleotide bonds (or their precursors) and / or neutral internucleotide bonds (or their precursors)). Such techniques can result in novel chemical compatibility and high stereoselectivity, crude purity, and yield as demonstrated herein. In some embodiments, useful compounds are compounds of formula I, formula Ia, formula Ia-1, formula Ia-2, formula Ib, formula Ic, formula Id, formula Ie, formula II, formula II-a, formula II-b, formula III, formula III-a, or formula III-b, or salts thereof. In particular, such compounds can be used, for example, as chiral auxiliary groups in preparing chiral-controlled oligonucleotide compositions as demonstrated herein.
[0008] Oligonucleotide synthesis typically utilizes highly efficient chemical transformations in its steps. However, despite this efficiency, the product of one or more steps may contain one or more reactive functional groups, such as unreacted 5'-OH groups in coupling products and / or newly formed reactive groups (e.g., primary and / or secondary amino groups) when chiral auxiliaries are used in chiral-controlled oligonucleotide synthesis, which can introduce a large amount of impurities if capping is absent. Often, such reactive functional groups are capped during oligonucleotide synthesis to reduce the resulting impurities. In some embodiments, this disclosure encompasses the recognition of the problem that capping steps, such as those typically used in conventional phosphoramidite-based oligonucleotide synthesis, can lead to the generation of large amounts of byproducts, particularly in many chiral-controlled (stereo-controlled, stereoselective) oligonucleotide synthesis processes. In particular, this disclosure provides techniques to address these problems.
[0009] In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a method comprising, for example, a post-modification capping step after a modification step, but before a subsequent deblocking and / or coupling step. In some embodiments, the post-modification capping step is after a modification step that provides a chiral-controlled internucleotide bond, but before a subsequent deblocking and / or coupling step.
[0010] In some embodiments, the Disclosure provides a method comprising a capping step with a different chemical strategy compared to a reference capping step in conventional oligonucleotide synthesis. For example, in some embodiments, the Disclosure provides a method comprising one or more capping steps, each of which selectively caps amino groups rather than hydroxyl groups (compared to, for example, a reference capping reagent system in conventional oligonucleotide synthesis). In some embodiments, the provided capping step is selective to amidation rather than esterification. In some embodiments, the capping reagent system for the capping step contains no or only reduced levels of strongly nucleophiles and / or esterification catalysts (or reagents capable of providing them when in contact with the composition to be capped) (compared to, for example, a reference capping reagent system in conventional oligonucleotide synthesis), and contains no or only reduced levels of, for example, DMAP, NMI, etc. In some embodiments, the Disclosure provides a method comprising a capping step capable of efficiently capping both amino and hydroxyl groups, for example, a capping step equivalent to or identical to a reference capping step in conventional oligonucleotide synthesis.
[0011] In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a method for realizing oligonucleotide synthesis that includes the same or different chemical strategies for a capping step and can provide various advantages, such as improved crude purity and improved yield, particularly for chiral-controlled (stereo-controlled, stereoselective) oligonucleotide synthesis. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a method for a pre-modification capping step (after a coupling step, but before the next modification step) and a post-modification capping step (after a modification step, but before the next deblocking and / or coupling step). In some embodiments, the pre-modification capping step and the post-modification capping step are different. In some embodiments, the pre-modification capping step and the post-modification capping step have different chemical strategies. In some embodiments, the pre-modification capping step selectively caps amino groups rather than hydroxyl groups (compared to, for example, a reference capping reagent system in conventional oligonucleotide synthesis). In some embodiments, the post-modification capping step can cap both amino groups and hydroxyl groups (compared to, for example, a reference capping reagent system in conventional oligonucleotide synthesis). In some embodiments, the pre-modification capping step selectively caps amino groups rather than hydroxyl groups (compared to, for example, reference capping reagent systems in conventional oligonucleotide synthesis). In some embodiments, the pre-modification capping step can cap both amino and hydroxyl groups (compared to, for example, reference capping reagent systems in conventional oligonucleotide synthesis).
[0012] In some embodiments, the method provided includes two or more capping steps in the oligonucleotide synthesis cycle. In some embodiments, the method provided includes two capping steps in the oligonucleotide synthesis cycle, wherein the two steps are separated by modification steps, such as oxidation or sulfidation. In some embodiments, the method provided includes a step in which a chiral modified internucleotide bond containing a chiral bound phosphorus is formed in a stereoselective manner of at least 80:20, 85:15, 90:10, 91:9, 92:8, 93:7, 94:6, 95:5, 96:4, 97:3, 98:2, or 99:1, favorably in either an Rp configuration or an Sp configuration.

[0028] In some embodiments, one or more cycles include a coupling step, a pre-modification capping step, a modification step, a post-modification capping step, and a deblocking step, and one or more cycles include a coupling step, a pre-modification capping step, a modification step, and a deblocking step. In some embodiments, one or more cycles include a coupling step, a pre-modification capping step, a modification step, a post-modification capping step, and a deblocking step, and one or more cycles include a coupling step, a modification step, a post-modification capping step, and a deblocking step.
[0029] In some embodiments, the cycle consists of a coupling step, a pre-modification capping step, a modification step, a post-modification capping step, and a deblocking step. In some embodiments, the cycle consists of a coupling step, a pre-modification capping step, a modification step, and a deblocking step. In some embodiments, the cycle consists of a coupling step, a modification step, a post-modification capping step, and a deblocking step.
[0030] In some embodiments, the coupling step is immediately followed by a pre-modification capping step, for example, within a certain cycle. In some embodiments, the coupling step is immediately followed by a modification step, for example, within a certain cycle. In some embodiments, the coupling step is immediately followed by a modification step, for example, within a certain cycle, which includes an oxidation reaction that converts a P(III) bond to a P(VI) phosphate bond (for example, including the introduction of =O to the P(III) bonded phosphorus). In some embodiments, the pre-modification step is immediately followed by a modification step, for example, within a certain cycle. In some embodiments, the modification step includes the formation of a bond (for example, a single bond, a double bond, etc.) between the bonded phosphorus and a sulfur or nitrogen atom. In some embodiments, the modification step is immediately followed by a post-modification capping step. In some embodiments, the post-modification capping step is immediately followed by a deblocking step.
[0031] As those skilled in the art will understand, the steps described herein may include one or more washes (e.g., washing of oligonucleotides on a support) using a variety of suitable solvents (which in some embodiments may be mixtures of chemicals), which may be carried out before and / or after steps in the various methods and / or cycles described herein. For example, as demonstrated in the examples herein, after carrying out the reaction of a step, the oligonucleotides on the solid support are typically thoroughly washed before carrying out another reaction in the same or immediately following step (e.g., thereby removing excess reagent, removing undesirable products, changing the solvent, and conditioning for the next reaction). In some embodiments, the steps described herein, e.g., the coupling step, the pre-modification capping step, the modification step, the post-modification capping step, or the deblockization step, optionally include one or more washes. In some embodiments, as demonstrated in the examples, the reagents, solvents, and / or reagent systems for the reaction are removed after the reaction has been carried out. In some embodiments, removal is carried out by filtration and / or washing when the product oligonucleotides are on a solid support, for example, when a solid support is used for oligonucleotide synthesis.
[0032] In some embodiments, the disclosure includes the recognition that conventional capping conditions, when used as in conventional oligonucleotide synthesis, can be a significant source of various problems under certain circumstances, and can contribute to the formation of one or more by-products (impurities) and significantly lower oligonucleotide crude purity and yield, particularly in the stereoselective preparation of oligonucleotides containing one or more chiral internucleotide bonds. In particular, the disclosure provides techniques including capping strategies that, when used in combination with other steps in oligonucleotide synthesis, can yield remarkably high crude impurities and yields compared to appropriate reference techniques.
[0033] In some embodiments, the reference technique uses conventional capping conditions, as found in conventional phosphoramidite-based oligonucleotide synthesis, to contact the oligonucleotide and cap the hydroxyl group (e.g., unreacted 5'-OH group), which is typically an esterification condition that acylates the hydroxyl group by using a mixture of, for example, an acylating agent (e.g., acetic anhydride), a base (e.g., 2,6-lutidine), and a catalyst (e.g., N-methylimidazole, DMAP, etc.). Conventional capping conditions typically involve using a considerable amount of acylating agent, base, and catalyst for capping, generally independently of each other, in amounts of about 5% to 15% by volume and / or at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 equivalents relative to the oligonucleotide loading capacity of the support (e.g., the loading capacity of the support used in the preparation of the oligonucleotide can be calculated by multiplying the unit loading capacity of the support (e.g., umol / g) by the amount of support (g)). In some embodiments as used in conventional oligonucleotide synthesis, each synthetic cycle of the reference technique includes a single capping step. In some embodiments, the reference technique comprises only one capping step in each of its synthesis cycles, where the capping is carried out under esterification conditions comprising, for example, an acyling agent (e.g., acetic anhydride), a base (e.g., 2,6-lutidine), and a catalyst (e.g., N-methylimidazole (NMI), DMAP, etc.) (each independently in an amount of about 1 vol%, 2 vol%, 3 vol%, 4 vol%, 5 vol%, 6 vol%, 7 vol%, 8 vol%, 9 vol%, 10 vol%, 11 vol%, 12 vol%, 13 vol%, 14 vol%, or 15 vol% or more of the capping reagent solution and / or the catalyst in an amount of about 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.5, or 2 equivalents or more relative to the acyling agent and / or base).
[0034] In some embodiments, the Disclosure provides a technique comprising one or more capping steps, e.g., a pre-modification capping step, a post-modification capping step, etc., each independently equivalent to or identical to a reference capping step in conventional oligonucleotide synthesis based on phosphoramidite chemistry, for example. In some embodiments, the Disclosure reduces byproducts that may be formed in such capping steps by strategically positioning the location (or timing) of the capping steps in the oligonucleotide synthesis method and / or cycle. In some embodiments, such capping steps are positioned either as separate individual capping steps or in combination with other capping steps (e.g., capping steps that selectively cap amino groups, often 5'-OH groups) after amino groups (typically primary and secondary) have been selectively capped (often more selectively than free hydroxyl groups, particularly 5'-OH groups).
[0035] In some embodiments, the Disclosure provides a technique comprising one or more capping steps each independently comprising conditions that are selective or specific to amidation rather than esterification. In some embodiments, the Disclosure provides a technique comprising one or more capping steps using amidation conditions that are not efficient and / or typical esterification conditions. As will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, esterification and amidation have been extensively studied, and various conditions that are selective or specific to amidation rather than esterification, and various methods for evaluating the selectivity and / or specificity of amidation compared to esterification, are widely known in the art and can be utilized in this Disclosure. For example, typical conditions that are selective or specific to amidation rather than esterification are anhydrous and base (e.g., Ac2O and 2,6-lutidine) without a catalyst, as the corresponding efficient esterification conditions typically require anhydrous, base and catalyst (e.g., Ac2O, 2,6-lutidine and NMI), as are the conventional capping conditions. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides a technique comprising one or more synthetic cycles each comprising independently a coupling step, a modification step (e.g., oxidation, sulfidation, etc.), and one or more capping steps, wherein each capping step after the coupling step and before the modification step includes amidation conditions but does not include esterification conditions.

In some embodiments, the nucleophile base is an optionally substituted 5- to 10-membered ring heteroaryl compound containing a basic nitrogen atom =N-, where the nitrogen atom has fewer than two α substituents or none at all. In some embodiments, the nucleophile base is a nucleophile nitrogen base. In some embodiments, the nucleophile nitrogen base is of formula BI: N(R N )3 BI It is a compound with the structure, in which each R N These are independently R, and the three R groups together with the nitrogen atom form a bicyclic or polycyclic ring which is optionally substituted with respect to the R group (and which group may be R) as described in this disclosure, [ka] The nitrogen (underlined) is a tertiary nitrogen and is not substituted at any position relative to the nitrogen atom at the α-position.

[0039] As those skilled in the art will understand, nucleophilicity, such as the nucleophilicity of a basic nitrogen atom in a base, is related to several factors, such as steric hindrance and electron density. Techniques for evaluating nucleophilicity are widely known in the art and can be utilized in this disclosure. In addition or alternatively, bases with various levels of nucleophilicity are well known and can be evaluated and / or utilized in this disclosure. In some embodiments, bases that can efficiently catalyze esterification reactions, such as bases that can be used in combination with anhydrides and 2,6-lutidine in conventional oligonucleotide synthesis for efficient capping of unreacted 5'-OH (e.g., DMAP, NMI, etc.), are strongly nucleophilic bases and should be avoided or used at reduced levels in capping steps that contain only significantly reduced levels or none at all of the strongly nucleophile, such as any capping step after the coupling step and before the modification step. In some embodiments, strongly nucleophilic bases are bases that can effectively replace DMAP or NMI in esterification. In some embodiments, ferrophilic bases are bases that can effectively replace DMAP or NMI in the capping step of conventional oligonucleotide synthesis (which typically uses phosphoramidite chemistry, does not use chiral auxiliaries, and is considered non-stereoselective / uncontrolled).

Useful supports and / or functionalizations are described herein.
[0098] Oligonucleotide synthesis typically involves a deblocking step, which deblocks blocked hydroxyl groups for the next step, such as a coupling step, while keeping capped hydroxyl groups intact that should not be involved in the next step, such as a coupling step. This disclosure refers to U.S. Patent Nos. 9,598,458, 9,744,183, 9,605,019, 9,394,333, 8,859,755, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2013,017,8612, 8,470,987, 8,822,671, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2015,021,1006, and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2017 Patent No. 037399, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20180216107, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20180216108, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20190008986, International Publication No. 2017 / 015555, International Publication No. 2017 / 015575, International Publication No. 2017 / 062862, International Publication No. 2017 / 160741, International Publication No. 2017 / 192664 International Publication Nos. 2017 / 192679, 2017 / 210647, 2018 / 022473, 2018 / 067973, 2018 / 098264, 2018 / 223056, 2018 / 223073, 2018 / 223081, 2018 / 237194 Various deblocking conditions can be used, including those described in International Publication Nos. 2019 / 032607, 2019 / 032612, 2019 / 032607, 2019 / 055951, 2019 / 075357, 2019 / 200185, or 2019 / 217784. In some embodiments, deblocking removes the DMT group from the DMT-protected hydroxyl (detritylation). In some embodiments, deblocking is carried out by contacting the oligonucleotide with an acid. In some embodiments, the acid is trichloroacetic acid or dichloroacetic acid.In some embodiments, the deblocking conditions are 2% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or 3% dichloroacetic acid (DCA) in an inert solvent (e.g., dichloromethane, toluene, etc.).
[0099] The coupling step forms an internucleotide bond, which adds a nucleoside unit to an existing oligonucleotide. In some embodiments, the internucleotide bond formed during the coupling step is a phosphite triester bond. In some embodiments, the internucleotide bond can be formed in a chiralally controlled manner, for example, in chiralally controlled oligonucleotide synthesis using diastereomerically pure phosphoramidites, typically containing a chiral auxiliary moiety.

In some embodiments, conditions such as the phosphoramidite concentration, activator concentration, contact time, solvent, etc., can be optimized for each coupling to improve, for example, crude purity, yield, etc.
[0100] In some embodiments, one or more capping steps are performed after the coupling step and before the modification step. In some embodiments, each capping step after the coupling step and before the modification step is performed, as described in this disclosure, for example, with or without a reduced level of nucleophile, with or without a reduced level of esterification catalyst, and / or under conditions that are selective or specific to amidation rather than esterification. In some embodiments, each capping step after the coupling step and before the modification step is performed to cap one or more amino groups, for example, one or more amino groups formed after coupling in a chiral auxiliary moiety attached to a bound phosphorus atom.
[0101] In some embodiments, after one or more capping steps as described in this disclosure, a modification step is performed to modify the internucleotide bond formed after coupling, which in some embodiments includes a trivalent (e.g., as in the phosphite bond) bound phosphorus atom. In some embodiments, the modification step is or includes oxidation, for example, converting the phosphite bond to a tetracoordinate phosphate triester bond (introducing =O to the bound phosphorus). In some embodiments, the modification step is or includes sulfidation. In some embodiments, sulfidation converts the phosphite bond to a tetracoordinate internucleotide bond by introducing =S to the bound phosphorus. In some embodiments, sulfidation is, for example, =N(-LR 5 ), P N By introducing =N- as shown in the example above into the bound phosphorus, the phosphite bond is converted into a four-coordinate internucleotide bond. In some embodiments, as described herein, R 5 It contains a ring containing a nitrogen atom.

Exemplary modifications and related technologies include U.S. Patent Nos. 9,598,458, 9,744,183, 9,605,019, 9,394,333, 8,859,755, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2013,017,8612, 8,470,987, 8,822,671, and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2015,021,1006. , U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20170037399, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20180216107, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20180216108, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 20190008986, International Publication No. 2017 / 015555, International Publication No. 2017 / 015575, International Publication No. 2017 / 062862, International Publication No. 2017 / 160741, International Publication Nos. 2017 / 192664, 2017 / 192679, 2017 / 210647, 2018 / 022473, 2018 / 067973, 2018 / 098264, 2018 / 223056, 2018 / 223073, and 2018 / 223081 Examples include those described in International Publication No. 2018 / 237194, International Publication No. 2019 / 032607, International Publication No. 2019 / 032612, International Publication No. 2019 / 032607, International Publication No. 2019 / 055951, International Publication No. 2019 / 075357, International Publication No. 2019 / 200185, or International Publication No. 2019 / 217784.
[0102] In some embodiments, the provided techniques offer greater flexibility in the selection of the type of modification and / or the modification reagents, such as oxidizing reagents, sulfiding reagents, =N- introduction reagents, etc. For example, reagents that tend to yield unsatisfactory results in previously reported chiral-controlled oligonucleotide synthesis can be used in conjunction with the techniques of this disclosure to obtain significantly improved and satisfactory results. In particular, this disclosure provides techniques (e.g., chiral auxiliaries, compounds, methods, etc.) that are particularly effective for the chiral-controlled preparation of oligonucleotides involving specific types of modifications, such as non-negatively charged internucleotide bonds (e.g., n001).
[0103] In some embodiments, a separate capping step is performed after the modification step. In some embodiments, the post-modification capping step is performed using a substantial amount of a nucleophile and / or esterification catalyst (the nucleophile may be the same as the esterification catalyst) under esterification conditions equivalent to or identical to those used for capping in conventional oligonucleotide synthesis. In some embodiments, the post-modification capping step caps free hydroxyl groups, such as hydroxyl groups that remain intact after the modification step as a result of incomplete coupling. After this capping step, the oligonucleotide can be deblocked to expose hydroxyl groups at sites of further chain elongation, allowing for another synthetic cycle.
[0104] After the desired chain length is achieved, the oligonucleotide can be completely deprotected and cleaved from the support for purification and / or further use. This disclosure refers to U.S. Patent Nos. 9,598,458, 9,744,183, 9,605,019, 9,394,333, 8,859,755, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2013,017,8612, 8,470,987, 8,822,671, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2015,021,1006, and U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2017,000.

In some embodiments, cleavage and / or deprotection includes the removal of chiral auxiliary groups. As those skilled in the art will understand, the cleavage and / or deprotection conditions may depend on the chemistry used in oligonucleotide synthesis, such as the properties of the linker that links the oligonucleotide to the support, the properties of the base and / or sugar blocking groups, the properties of the chiral moiety, etc. In some embodiments, the removal of chiral auxiliary, such as DPSE-type chiral auxiliary, includes the use of TEA-HF. In some embodiments, this disclosure unexpectedly demonstrates that the use of TEA-HF in oligonucleotide synthesis using CPG supports can be successful.
[0105] In particular, this disclosure identifies that contact with water for a period of time (e.g., for deprotection and / or cleavage) at optionally high temperatures, for example, under basic conditions, can be a significant cause of impurities / decomposition (e.g., conversion of P=S and / or P=N- to P=O). In some embodiments, this disclosure provides techniques for addressing the causes of such problems. In some embodiments, this disclosure provides chiral auxiliaries that can be readily removed by a base. In some embodiments, such removal does not require strong bases, high temperatures, and / or length of time as previously reported, and can significantly improve product yield and / or purity. In some embodiments, the removal of the chiral auxiliary group preferably involves contacting the oligonucleotide (e.g., a plurality of oligonucleotides) containing the chiral auxiliary group with a base under anhydrous conditions before contacting the oligonucleotide with a large amount of water (e.g., a reagent system containing a base, water, and optionally one or more organic solvents (e.g., useful for deprotection of the base, cleavage of the oligonucleotide from the support, etc.)). In various cases, the applicant has observed that removing chiral auxiliary groups with a base under anhydrous conditions before contact with conditions containing large amounts of water (e.g., deprotection / cleavage conditions containing NH3,H2O) can significantly improve product yield and / or purity. In addition, the removal of chiral auxiliary groups with a base as described herein can simplify the work procedure and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0154] Partially unsaturated: As used herein, the term “partially unsaturated” refers to a ring moiety containing at least one double or triple bond. The term “partially unsaturated” is intended to encompass rings having multiple unsaturated moies, as defined herein, but not intended to encompass aryl or heteroaryl moies.
[0155] Pharmaceutical Composition: As used herein, the term “pharmaceutical composition” refers to an active agent formulated with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. In some embodiments, the active agent is present in a unit dose appropriate for administration in a therapeutic regimen that demonstrates a statistically significant probability of achieving a predetermined therapeutic effect when administered to a relevant population. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may be specifically formulated for administration in solid or liquid form, including: oral administration, e.g., oral tablets (aqueous or nonaqueous solutions or suspensions), tablets, e.g., those targeted for buccal, sublingual and systemic absorption, boluses, powders, granules, pastes for application to the tongue; parenteral administration, e.g., subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous or epidural injection, as sterile solutions or suspensions or sustained-release formulations; topical application, e.g., creams, ointments or controlled-release patches or sprays applied to the skin, lungs or oral cavity; e.g., pessaries, creams or foams for vaginal or rectal administration; sublingual; intraocular; transdermal; or adapted for the nasal cavity, lungs and other mucosal surfaces.

Each carrier must be “acceptable” in the sense that it is compatible with the other components of the formulation and is not harmful to the patient. Some examples of materials that can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include sugars such as lactose, glucose, and sucrose; starches such as corn starch and potato starch; celluloses and their derivatives such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, and cellulose acetate; tragacanth powder; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients such as cocoa butter and suppository wax; oils such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil, and soybean oil; glycols such as propylene glycol; polyols such as glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol, and polyethylene glycol; esters such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffers such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol; pH buffer solutions; polyesters, polycarbonates, and / or polyanhydrides; and other non-toxic, suitable substances used in pharmaceutical formulations.
[0158] pharmaceutically acceptable salts: When used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a salt of such compound that is appropriate for use in a pharmaceutical context, i.e., a salt that, within reasonable medical judgment, does not impose excessive toxicity, irritation, or allergic reactions, is suitable for use in contact with human and lower animal tissues, and has a reasonable risk-benefit ratio. pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, S.M. Berge, et al. described pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 66:1-19 (1977). In some embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, non-toxic acid addition salts, which are salts of amino groups formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid, or with organic acids such as acetic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid, or by other methods used in the art, such as ion exchange. In some embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, adipine, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecyl sulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, and 2-hydroxy- Examples include ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, and valerate.In some embodiments, the compounds provided comprise one or more acidic groups, for example, oligonucleotides, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts are alkali salts, alkaline earth metal salts, or ammonium salts (e.g., ammonium salts of N(R)3 (wherein each R is independently defined and described herein)). Typical alkali salts or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is a sodium salt. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is a potassium salt. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is a calcium salt. In some embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, where appropriate, non-toxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halides, hydroxides, carboxylates, sulfates, phosphates, nitrates, alkyls having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, sulfonates, and arylsulfonates. In some embodiments, the compounds provided comprise two or more acidic groups, for example, oligonucleotides may comprise two or more acidic groups (e.g., in a natural phosphate bond and / or a modified internucleotide bond). In some embodiments, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of such compound, or a salt in general, contains two or more cations that may be the same or different. In some embodiments, in a pharmaceutically acceptable salt (or a salt in general), all ionizable hydrogens in the acidic group (e.g., in aqueous solutions with pKas of about 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, or 2 or less; in some embodiments, about 7 or less; in some embodiments, about 6 or less; in some embodiments, about 5 or less; in some embodiments, about 4 or less; in some embodiments, about 3 or less) are replaced by cations. In some embodiments, each phosphorothioate and phosphate group exists independently in their salt form (e.g., in the case of the sodium salt, -OP(O)(SNa)-O- and -OP(O)(ONa)-O-, respectively).In some embodiments, each phosphorothioate and phosphate internucleotide bond exists independently in its salt form (e.g., in the case of the sodium salt, -OP(O)(SNa)-O- and -OP(O)(ONa)-O-, respectively). In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is the sodium salt of the oligonucleotide. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt is the sodium salt of the oligonucleotide, where each acidic phosphate group and modified phosphate group (e.g., phosphorothioate, phosphate, etc.) exists, if present, in salt form (all sodium salts).
[0159] Predetermined: Predetermined (or pre-determined) means intentionally selected, not random, or controlled, as opposed to something that happens randomly, is random, or is realized without control. Those skilled in the art will understand, upon reading this specification, that this disclosure provides techniques that enable the selection of specific chemical and / or stereochemical features into oligonucleotide compositions and further enable the controlled preparation of oligonucleotide compositions having such chemical and / or stereochemical features. Such provided compositions are “predetermined” as described herein. A composition that may contain a particular oligonucleotide because it occurs accidentally through a process that is not controlled in such a way as to intentionally produce the particular chemical and / or stereochemical features is not a “predetermined” composition. In some embodiments, a predetermined composition is intentionally reproducible (e.g., through the repetition of a controlled process). In some embodiments, a predetermined level of multiple oligonucleotides in a composition means that the absolute and / or relative amounts (ratio, percentage, etc.) of the multiple oligonucleotides in the composition are controlled. In some embodiments, a predetermined level of multiple oligonucleotides in a composition is achieved through chiral-controlled oligonucleotide preparation.
