Methods for producing oligonucleotide-encoded compounds and their applications
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing a compound encoded by an oligonucleotide, and its applications.
[0002] DELs (DNA Encoded Libraries) are compound libraries containing millions to hundreds of millions of compounds, each linked to a DNA barcode that encodes the compound's structure. By selecting compounds that bind to a target molecule and sequencing the DNA barcode that encodes the compound's structure, it is possible to identify the structure of a small molecule compound that has binding activity to the target molecule from the DNA sequence. Because DELs occupy a very large chemical space, it is possible to screen a wider range of compounds in a single run, potentially leading to more efficient identification of superior hit compounds.
[0003] High-throughput screening (HTS) is a well-known compound screening method. HTS is a random screening method with a high processing capacity per unit time, and involves biochemical evaluation of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of compounds to identify hit compounds. In contrast, DELs are small to medium-sized molecules with DNA barcodes that encode their structures, allowing them to be handled as a mixture, making it easy to select target molecules. DELs have many advantages over HTS, including lower operating costs, and are therefore expected to become a new compound library.
[0004] The basic structure of the compounds that make up DELs includes a complex in which an oligonucleotide tag and a building block having a chemical structure encoded by the oligonucleotide tag are bound to a bifunctional molecular headpiece (Patent Documents 1-4, Non-Patent Documents 1, 2, and 14).
[0005] The Split & Pool method is generally used to prepare compounds that make up DELs (Patent Documents 1-4, Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2). The Split & Pool method involves (1) aliquoting a compound mixture into multiple aliquots, (2) attaching different building blocks and corresponding tags to each aliquot, and (3) pooling and mixing the resulting mixtures. This method involves repeating steps (1) to (3) multiple times. For example, if steps (1) to (3) are repeated three times, each using x, y, and z building blocks (x, y, and z are natural numbers) and corresponding tags, respectively, a library containing x x y x z compounds is prepared.
[0006] Enzymatic ligation using an enzyme is a common method for attaching an oligonucleotide tag to a compound constituting DELs. In enzymatic ligation, the ends of the nucleotide chains of the compound constituting DELs and the ends of the oligonucleotide tag are linked by an enzymatic reaction. Patent documents 1-4, Non-Patent Document 1, and Non-Patent Document 14 describe methods for attaching an oligonucleotide tag to a compound constituting DELs using a ligase or polymerase.
[0007] In recent years, non-enzymatic ligation methods have been developed as alternatives to enzymatic ligation in order to increase the variety of methods for attaching oligonucleotide tags. Examples of such methods include a ligation method using a photochemical cycloaddition reaction using psoralen and thymidine (Patent Document 5, Non-Patent Documents 3-4), a ligation method using an alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction using a copper catalyst (Patent Document 6, Non-Patent Documents 3-4, 8), and a Zn 2+ , Mn 2+ , Mg 2+ Ligation methods using condensing agents such as cyanoimidazole and cyanogen bromide in the presence of a metal source such as thiazolinone (Patent Documents 7-8, Non-Patent Documents 3, 9-13) are known. These methods are generally referred to as chemical ligation.
[0008] On the other hand, Non-Patent Document 8 reports that polymerase cannot synthesize cDNA (complementary DNA) with the correct sequence around the triazole bond formed by chemical ligation.
[0009] It is believed that natural phosphodiester bonds are preferable for correct cDNA synthesis by polymerase. 2+ It has been described that chemical ligation using metal salts of the formula (I) results in the formation of phosphodiester bonds in oligonucleotide pairs having 5'-monophospho and 3'-hydroxy termini and in oligonucleotide pairs having 5'-hydroxy and 3'-monophospho termini.
[0010] However, the method described in Patent Document 7 has been shown to yield a one-sided ligation product in which the chemical ligation reaction stops midway. In the synthesis of compounds constituting DELs, the next ligation reaction does not proceed from the one-sided ligation product, leading to a decrease in the yield of the compounds constituting DELs.

[0019] [Method for producing a compound encoded by an oligonucleotide] According to some aspects of the present invention, a method for producing a compound encoded by an oligonucleotide (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the production method of the present invention) is provided.
[0020] <First Aspect> According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for producing a compound encoded by an oligonucleotide, the method comprising the following steps (a) to (c): (a) preparing a headpiece, the headpiece having a chemical reaction site and an oligonucleotide, the headpiece oligonucleotide having a phosphate group at its 3'-end and a hydroxy group at its 5'-end; (b) phosphodiester-linking a double-stranded oligonucleotide tag to the headpiece oligonucleotide by chemical ligation, the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag consisting of at least one double-stranded oligonucleotide having a hydroxy group at the 5'-end of a first strand, a phosphate group at the 3'-end, and a phosphate group at the 3'-end and a hydroxy group at the 5'-end of a second strand, the hydroxy group at the 5'-end of the first strand of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag being phosphodiester-linked to the phosphate group at the 3'-end of the headpiece oligonucleotide, and the phosphate group at the 3'-end of the second strand of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag being phosphodiester-linked to the hydroxy group at the 5'-end of the headpiece oligonucleotide, respectively; and (c) directly or indirectly attaching at least one building block to a chemically reactive site on the headpiece; wherein steps (b) and (c) can be performed in any order, and wherein the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag encodes the building block.
[0021] <Second Aspect> According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for producing a compound encoded by an oligonucleotide, the method comprising the following steps (a) to (c): (a) preparing a headpiece, wherein the headpiece has a single-stranded oligonucleotide, wherein the single-stranded oligonucleotide of the headpiece has a chemical reaction site at its 3'-end via a spacer and a hydroxy group at its 5'-end; (b) phosphodiester-linking a single-stranded oligonucleotide tag to the single-stranded oligonucleotide of the headpiece in the presence of a splint oligonucleotide by chemical ligation, wherein the single-stranded oligonucleotide tag is a single-stranded oligonucleotide having a phosphate group at its 3'-end, and phosphodiester-linking the phosphate group at the 3'-end of the single-stranded oligonucleotide tag to the hydroxy group at the 5'-end of the single-stranded oligonucleotide of the headpiece; and (c) directly or indirectly linking at least one building block to the chemical reaction site of the headpiece; wherein steps (b) and (c) can be performed in any order, and the single-stranded oligonucleotide tag encodes the building block.
[0022] In the present invention, "code" refers to the base sequence of an oligonucleotide tag that identifies a building block. "Encoding" refers to a situation in which an oligonucleotide tag that identifies a building block is contained in a compound, and the structure of the building block contained in the compound and the base sequence of the oligonucleotide tag have a one-to-one relationship. "An oligonucleotide tag encodes a building block" refers to a situation in which the structure of the building block corresponding to the base sequence can be identified by analyzing the base sequence of the oligonucleotide tag.
[0023] In some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, the phrase "step (b) and step (c) can be performed in any order" means that step (b) and step (c) can be performed in any order from step (b) to step (c), or from step (c) to step (b).
[0024] (Headpiece) A "headpiece" is a starting material for producing a compound encoded by an oligonucleotide. A headpiece has a chemically reactive site and an oligonucleotide. As shown in Scheme 1, a headpiece in the present invention is: i) a single-stranded structure in which two complementary oligonucleotide strands are connected by a spacer containing a chemically reactive site; ii) a double-stranded structure in which one of the two complementary oligonucleotide strands has a chemically reactive site via a spacer; iii) a single-stranded structure in which a chemically reactive site is located on the 3'-end via a spacer; or iv) a single-stranded structure in which a chemically reactive site is located on the 5'-end via a spacer.
[0025]
[0026] The headpiece is preferably i) a single-stranded structure in which two complementary oligonucleotide strands are connected by a spacer containing a chemically reactive site, or iii) a single-stranded structure having a chemically reactive site on the 3'-end side via a spacer. i) A single-stranded structure in which two complementary oligonucleotide strands are connected by a spacer containing a chemically reactive site is more preferred. iii) In another embodiment, a single-stranded structure having a chemically reactive site on the 3'-end side via a spacer is also preferred. Two complementary oligonucleotides included in i) of Scheme 1, or two complementary oligonucleotides included in ii) of Scheme 1, can be linked to a double-stranded oligonucleotide tag by a ligation reaction to obtain a compound containing a double-stranded oligonucleotide tag. On the other hand, a single oligonucleotide included in iii) of Scheme 1, or a single oligonucleotide included in iv) of Scheme 1, can be linked to a single-stranded oligonucleotide tag by a ligation reaction to obtain a compound containing a single-stranded oligonucleotide tag.
[0027] The chemically reactive site in the headpiece is a functional group having at least one site that has the ability to bind to a building block, linker, or scaffold compound. As shown in Scheme 1, the chemically reactive site in the headpiece is bound to the oligonucleotide via a spacer, and is not particularly limited as long as it is a functional group that can form a covalent bond with a functional group in the building block, linker, or scaffold compound. For example, if the chemically reactive site in the headpiece is an amino group, it can react with a halogeno group, a carboxy group, a sulfonic acid group, etc. Other chemically reactive sites in the headpiece may be, for example, a carboxy group, a thiol group, an aldehyde group, a hydroxy group, an azide group, an alkynyl group, etc. These functional groups may be substituted with one or more substituents as long as they have binding ability. Examples of the substituent include, for example, C 1-5 Alkyl group, C 1-5 Alkoxy group, halogen, C substituted with one or more halogens 1-5 alkyl group, C substituted with one or more halogens 1-5 Examples thereof include an alkoxy group.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the chemically reactive site is an amino group.
[0029] In some embodiments of the manufacturing method of the present invention, (a) the "step of preparing a headpiece" refers to putting the headpiece in a state in which it can be subjected to steps (b) and (c), and does not necessarily include manufacturing the headpiece. The "step of preparing a headpiece" may be, for example, placing a pre-made headpiece in a reaction vessel.
[0030] (Oligonucleotide) A "nucleotide" is generally a substance in which a phosphate group is bound to a nucleoside. Nucleotides and nucleosides are the building blocks of DNA, RNA, etc. Nucleotides can form and bind to the sequence of an oligonucleotide, and each nucleotide monomer usually consists of two parts: a nucleobase part and a backbone. In some cases, the backbone may be divided into a sugar part and an internucleoside linker. The nucleobase part may be selected from naturally occurring nucleobases and artificial nucleobases that do not occur in nature. Therefore, nucleobases include not only naturally occurring purine and pyrimidine heterocycles, but also heterocycle analogs and their tautomers. Nucleobases are defined in The Chemical Biology of Nucleic Acids (Gunter Mayer, John Wiley & Sons, 2010) and other publications, and examples thereof include adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, uracil, purine, inosine, isoguanine, isocytosine, xanthine, diaminopurine, 5-methylcytosine, 5-fluorouracil, 5-bromouracil, 5-iodouracil, 7-deazaguanine, 7-deazaadenine, pseudouracil, 3-methyluracil, dihydrouracil, 5-ethyluracil, 6-azapyrimidine, 6-methyluracil, 2-thiouracil, 4-thiouracil, 4-acetylcytosine, Examples of suitable cytosine include, but are not limited to, cytosine, 5-(carboxyhydroxymethyl)uracil, 5-carboxymethylaminomethyluracil, 1-methyladenine, 2,2-dimethylguanine, 3-methylcytosine, 2-methyladenine, 2-methylguanine, 7-methylguanine, 5-methoxyaminomethyl-2-thiouracil, 5-methylaminomethyluracil, 5-methylcarbonylmethyluracil, 5-methyloxyuracil, 5-methyl-2-thiouracil, 2-thiocytosine, etc. The sugar portion of the backbone may be a pentose, PNA, or part of a six-membered ring.Examples of pentoses include, but are not limited to, 2'-deoxyribose, ribose, 2'-O-methylribose, 2'-O-methoxyethylribose, 2'-fluororibose, 2'-4'-O-methyleneribose (LNA), and 2'-4'-O-C-ethyleneribose (ENA). The nucleobase is attached to the 1' position of the pentose. When the sugar moiety of the backbone is a pentose such as 2'-deoxyribose or ribose, the internucleoside linker connects the 3' end of the previous monomer to the 5' end of the next monomer. Examples of internucleoside linkers are described in Non-Patent Document 3, etc., and include phosphodiester bonds, phosphorothioate bonds, etc.
[0031] In preferred embodiments, the nucleotide monomers include deoxyadenosine, thymidine, deoxyguanosine, deoxycytidine, adenosine, guanosine, uridine, cytidine, and inosine, linked via phosphodiester bonds, and in particularly preferred embodiments, deoxyadenosine, thymidine, deoxyguanosine, and deoxycytidine.
[0032] The oligonucleotide in the headpiece can be bound to a single-stranded or double-stranded oligonucleotide tag. The oligonucleotide in the headpiece can be any base length, for example, 1 to 200 bases, 10 to 180 bases, 30 to 160 bases, 50 to 140 bases, 70 to 120 bases, and preferably 80 to 100 bases. In another embodiment, a length of 10 to 30 bases is preferred. The oligonucleotide in the headpiece preferably includes a primer oligonucleotide. In the present invention, a primer oligonucleotide is a single-stranded or double-stranded oligonucleotide having a fixed sequence necessary for binding to a primer used to amplify a region containing a tag by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
[0033] In some preferred embodiments, the oligonucleotide in the headpiece has a phosphate group at the 3'-end and a hydroxy group at the 5'-end in a single-stranded structure in which two complementary oligonucleotide strands are connected by a spacer containing a chemical reaction site, as shown in Scheme 1. In another preferred embodiment, the oligonucleotide in the headpiece has a hydroxy group at the 5'-end in a single-stranded structure in which two complementary oligonucleotide strands are connected by a spacer containing a chemical reaction site on the 3'-end side, as shown in Scheme 1.
[0034] (Chemical Reactive Site) The term "chemically reactive site" refers to a functional group having at least one site capable of binding to a building block, linker, or scaffold compound. The chemically reactive site is not particularly limited as long as it is a functional group capable of forming a covalent bond with a building block, linker, or scaffold compound.
[0035] In the present invention, when a building block is "directly bound" to a headpiece, it means that the building block is directly bound to a chemical reaction site on the headpiece without the intervention of a scaffolding compound, linker, etc. On the other hand, in the present invention, when a building block is "indirectly bound" to a headpiece, it means that the building block is bound to a chemical reaction site on the headpiece via a scaffolding compound, linker, etc. In some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, step (c) may be a step of directly or indirectly binding at least one building block to a chemical reaction site on the headpiece or a chemical reaction site on a linker bound to the headpiece.
[0036] The reaction for binding the building block to the chemical reaction site is not particularly limited and can be carried out according to methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, as described in DNA-Encoded Chemical Libraries, Methods and Protocols (David Israel, Yun Ding John, Springer Nature, 2022).
[0037] (Building Block) A "building block" refers to a small to medium molecular compound having a functional group, or a structural unit having one or more functional groups in a part of the structure of a small to medium molecular compound. A building block can bond to a chemically reactive site in a headpiece. Furthermore, when a building block bonded to a headpiece (here, referred to as building block 1) has a chemically reactive site, another building block (here, referred to as building block 2) can also bond to the chemically reactive site of building block 1. In the present invention, when a building block is separate from other building blocks, such as the relationship between building block 1 and building block 2, it may be referred to as an independent building block.
[0038] Building blocks can also be bonded to chemical reaction sites on headpieces, linkers, or other building blocks bonded to headpieces or linkers via scaffold compounds. A "scaffold" is a molecular framework having two or more functional groups for bonding to chemical reaction sites or building blocks contained in a headpiece. Examples of scaffold compounds include compounds having a cycloalkyl group, a cycloalkenyl group, a heterocycloalkyl group, a heterocycloalkenyl group, an aryl group, or a heteroaryl group, and having multiple functional groups. An example of a scaffold compound is cyanuric chloride. Cyanuric chloride is a heteroaryl compound having three replaceable chloro groups. For example, one chloro group can react with a chemical reaction site on a headpiece or linker, and the other two chloro groups can bond to building blocks.
[0039] (Protecting Group) One or more functional groups in a chemically reactive site, a scaffold compound bonded to a chemically reactive site, a scaffold compound bonded to a building block, a linker, or a building block may be protected with a deprotectable protecting group. Commonly used protecting groups are not particularly limited as long as they can be protected and deprotected as described in Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 5th Edition (John Wiley & Sons, 2014), etc. For example, when the functional group is an amino group, the protecting group may be a tert-butoxycarbonyl group (Boc group), a benzyloxycarbonyl group (Cbz group), a 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl group (Fmoc group), a 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl group (Troc group), an allyloxycarbonyl group (Alloc group), a phthaloyl group (Pht group), a p-toluenesulfonyl group (Ts group), a 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl group (Ns group), an allyl group, etc. When the functional group is an amino group, the protecting group is preferably an Fmoc group. When the functional group is a thiol group, the protecting group can be, for example, a trimethylphenyl group (Trt group), an acetamidomethyl group (Acm group), a tert-butyl group (tBu group), or the like. When the functional group is an aldehyde group, the protecting group can be, for example, an acetal-based protecting group. An acetal-based protecting group can be generated using a method known to those skilled in the art, for example, a method of converting a carbonyl group to an acetal using dimethyl acetal under an acid catalyst, or the like. When the functional group is a hydroxy group, the protecting group can be, for example, a C protecting group such as a methyl group or a tBu group. 1-6 the alkyl group listed above, aralkyl groups such as benzyl group (Bn group) and p-methoxybenzyl group (PMB group), acyl groups such as acetyl group (Ac group) and benzoyl group (Bz group), and silyl groups such as trimethylsilyl group (TMS group), triethylsilyl group (TES group), tert-butyldimethylsilyl group (TBS group), and tert-butyldiphenylsilyl group (TBDPS group).
[0040] Deprotection can be carried out according to methods known to those skilled in the art, such as those described in Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 5th Edition (John Wiley & Sons, 2014). For example, a method of deprotecting a Boc group by heating in a buffer solution is known. A method of deprotecting an Fmoc group by using a secondary amine such as piperidine is known.
[0041] (Linker) The building block or scaffold compound and the headpiece may be linked via a linker. In some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, in the step (a) of preparing the headpiece, a headpiece or a headpiece linked to a linker can be used.
[0042] A "linker" is a linking group that connects a building block or scaffold compound to a headpiece. The structure of the linker is not particularly limited, except that it has a functional group for binding to the headpiece and a functional group for binding to the building block. The linker may include a resin that can perform a chemical ligation reaction, an enzymatic ligation reaction, or a chemical reaction with the building block in a solid phase. The linker can be, for example, a C 1-100 , preferably C 5-90 , more preferably C 10-80 , more preferably C 15-70 , particularly preferably C 20-60 , most preferably C 30-50 The alkyl group may have a linear or branched chain aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon, which may be substituted with one or more substituents. Examples of the substituent include C 1-5 Alkyl group, C 1-5 an alkoxy group, a carbonyl group, an amino group, a halogen, or a C substituted with these substituents; 1-5 The linker may include a polyalkylene chain or a polyalkylene glycol chain, and is preferably —(CH2CH2O) n-, and more preferably an ethylene glycol chain. Here, n is an integer of 2 to 10, preferably 2 to 8, and more preferably 3 to 7. Furthermore, the polyethylene glycol chain or the ethylene glycol chain may have 1 to 5, preferably 1 to 4, and more preferably 1 to 3 amide bonds. When the linker contains a resin, the type of resin is not particularly limited, and resins of the type known to those skilled in the art, such as those described in Andrew B. MacConnell et al., DNA-Encoded Solid-Phase Synthesis: Encoding Language Design and Complex Oligomer Library Synthesis, ACS Comb Sci. 17, 518-534 (2015) and DNA-Encoded Chemical Libraries, Methods and Protocols (David Israel, Yun Ding John, Springer Nature, 2022), can be used. Furthermore, the resin may contain a linker (cleavable linker) that is cleaved from the resin at an appropriate time and at an appropriate location. Examples of such linkers include cleavable linkers known to those skilled in the art, such as those described in Andrew B. MacConnell et al., An Integrated Microfluidic Processor for DNA-Encoded Combinatorial Library Functional Screening, ACS Comb Sci. 19, 181-192 (2017).
[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the linker comprises an ethylene glycol chain with an amide bond such as -OCH2CH2OCH2CONHCH2CH2OCH2CH2O-.
[0044] (Spacer) A "spacer" is a linking group that connects molecular backbones. The spacer can link an oligonucleotide to a chemically reactive site in the headpiece, or can link an oligonucleotide to a trivalent molecular backbone containing a chemically reactive site. The oligonucleotide in the headpiece can be bound to a single-stranded or double-stranded oligonucleotide tag via the spacer.
[0045] When the headpiece i) has a single-stranded structure in which two complementary oligonucleotide strands are connected by a spacer containing a chemically reactive site, in a preferred embodiment, the spacer comprises an optionally substituted trivalent group, an optionally substituted alkylene chain, an optionally substituted oligoethylene glycol chain, an optionally substituted saturated alkyl ring, or an optionally substituted saturated heterocycle. In a more preferred embodiment, the spacer comprises an optionally substituted AminoC7 or an optionally substituted dSpacer. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the spacer comprises AminoC7 and dSpacer. Examples of optionally substituted saturated heterocycles include C 1 ~C 6 Examples of suitable dSpacers include 5- or 6-membered saturated heterocycles containing at least one heteroatom (such as an oxygen atom, nitrogen atom, or sulfur atom) substituted with an alkylene or hydroxyl group. dSpacers have a structure such as Formula IV below, and the hydroxyl groups form phosphodiester bonds, allowing them to bond with each other, other spacers, or oligonucleotides. For example, dSpacers can form a phosphodiester bond via a phosphate group between the hydroxyl group at the 3' position and the hydroxyl group at the 5' position. The number of dSpacers contained in a spacer is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 1 to 5, preferably 2 to 4, more preferably 2 to 3, and even more preferably 2.
[0046]
[0047] AminoC7 has a structure as shown in Formula V below, and its hydroxy group can form a phosphodiester bond to bind to another spacer or oligonucleotide. For example, AminoC7 can bind to a dSpacer via a phosphodiester bond between the hydroxy group of AminoC7 and the hydroxy group at the 3' or 5' position of the dSpacer via a phosphate group. The amino group of AminoC7 can be bound to a linker, building block, scaffold compound, or the like.
[0048]
[0049] Furthermore, when the headpiece has iii) a single-stranded structure having a chemical reaction site on the 3'-end side via a spacer, the spacer is preferably an alkylene chain which may have a substituent or an oligoethylene glycol chain which may have a substituent, with AminoC6 being particularly preferred. AminoC6 has a structure such as Formula VI below, and its hydroxy group can form a phosphodiester bond to bind to an oligonucleotide. The amino group of AminoC6 can be bound to a linker, building block, scaffold compound, or the like.
[0050]
[0051] Note that even when a spacer has a phosphodiester bond in its structure, the phosphodiester bond may be omitted. For example, the hydroxy groups of dSpacer and AminoC7 can form a phosphodiester bond with a hydroxy group in an oligonucleotide, but the phosphodiester bond may be omitted and represented as -O-, as in Formula IV and Formula V, respectively. Furthermore, AminoC6 may have a phosphodiester bond at the end opposite the amino group, but the phosphodiester bond may be omitted and represented as -O-, as in Formula VI. Note that the term "hydroxy group" in relation to a spacer not only refers to a group capable of forming a phosphodiester bond with a hydroxy group in another compound or an oligonucleotide, but also refers to the group (end) represented as -O-, omitting the phosphodiester bond, as described above.
[0052] (Oligonucleotide tag) An "oligonucleotide tag" is a single-stranded or double-stranded oligonucleotide that encodes a structural unit of a building block and functions as a label for each chemical structure. The sequence and base length of the oligonucleotide in the tag are not particularly limited as long as they encode the structural unit of the building block.
[0053] An oligonucleotide tag can be a double-stranded oligonucleotide when the headpiece has i) a single-stranded structure in which two complementary oligonucleotide strands are connected by a spacer containing a chemically reactive site, or ii) a double-stranded structure in which one of the two complementary oligonucleotide strands has a chemically reactive site via a spacer, as shown in Scheme 1. Alternatively, an oligonucleotide tag can be a single-stranded oligonucleotide when the headpiece has iii) a single-stranded oligonucleotide structure in which a chemically reactive site is located on the 3'-end side via a spacer, or iv) a single-stranded oligonucleotide structure in which a chemically reactive site is located on the 5'-end side via a spacer.
[0054] (Ligation) The manufacturing method of the present invention includes (b) a step of ligating a single-stranded or double-stranded oligonucleotide tag to a headpiece oligonucleotide. "Ligation" refers to the binding and linking of two nucleic acids via a functional group, spacer, or linker. A preferred embodiment of ligation involves forming a phosphodiester bond between the hydroxyl group and the phosphate group at the end of the two nucleic acids. The single-stranded or double-stranded oligonucleotide tag can be linked to the headpiece oligonucleotide by enzymatic or chemical ligation.
[0055] "Enzymatic ligation" refers to the formation of a phosphodiester bond between the ends of nucleic acids by an enzymatic reaction. Enzymatic ligation uses an enzyme such as DNA ligase. DNA ligase forms a phosphodiester bond between the phosphate group at the 5'-end and the hydroxyl group at the 3'-end of DNA, joining the ends together.
[0056] "Chemical ligation" refers to a method for joining the ends of nucleic acids without using enzymes. In chemical ligation, for example, a condensing agent can be used to form a phosphodiester bond between the phosphate group at the 5'-end of a nucleic acid and the hydroxyl group at the 3'-end, or between the phosphate group at the 3'-end and the hydroxyl group at the 5'-end. In chemical ligation, the reaction can be optimized by adjusting the condensing agent and reaction conditions, making it possible to improve the yield of the desired product by ligation.
[0057] In the present invention, the double-stranded oligonucleotide carried by the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag may be a double-stranded oligonucleotide that is hybridized before being ligated to the headpiece oligonucleotide, or an oligonucleotide in which each oligonucleotide strand is ligated to the headpiece oligonucleotide, and the double strand hybridizes when ligated.
[0058] (Condensing Agent) In some embodiments of the manufacturing method of the present invention, step (b) may be a step of phosphodiester-linking a double-stranded oligonucleotide tag to a headpiece oligonucleotide or an oligonucleotide contained in an encoded compound by chemical ligation in the presence of a condensing agent. In other embodiments of the method of the present invention, step (b) may be a step of phosphodiester-linking a single-stranded oligonucleotide tag to a headpiece single-stranded oligonucleotide by chemical ligation in the presence of a condensing agent.
[0059] As the condensing agent, a cyano derivative, an imidazole derivative, or a carbodiimide derivative can be used. As the cyano derivative, 1-cyanoazole, cyanogen chloride, cyanogen bromide, etc. can be used. As the imidazole derivative, 1-cyanoimidazole, 1-cyano-2-methylimidazole, 1,1'-carbimidoylbis-1H-imidazole, 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole, 1,1'-thiocarbonyldiimidazole, etc. can be used. As the carbodiimide derivative, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide and its salt, N,N'-diisopropylcarbodiimide, N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, etc. can be used. The condensing agent is preferably 1-cyanoimidazole, 1-cyano-2-methylimidazole, or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride, with 1-cyanoimidazole or 1-cyano-2-methylimidazole being more preferred. 1-cyano-2-methylimidazole can improve the conversion rate to a full-length ligation product in chemical ligation. 1-cyano-2-methylimidazole can improve the conversion rate of a product obtained by chemical ligation of a single-stranded oligonucleotide tag to a headpiece single-stranded oligonucleotide via a phosphodiester bond. The conversion rate can be evaluated by analyzing the reaction solution after ultrafiltration and desalting, or the product after ultrafiltration and desalting following treatment with a chelating agent, by LC / MS. For example, the conversion rate can be calculated by dividing the peak area of the target product by (peak area of the starting material + peak area of the target product + peak area of the by-product). 1-Cyano-2-methylimidazole can improve the yield of full-length ligation products in chemical ligation. 1-Cyano-2-methylimidazole can improve the yield of products obtained by chemical ligation of a single-stranded oligonucleotide tag to a headpiece single-stranded oligonucleotide via a phosphodiester bond.When 1-cyano-2-methylimidazole is used as the condensing agent, the reaction temperature for chemical ligation can be selected from 20°C to 30°C, specifically 20°C or higher, 21°C or higher, 22°C or higher, 23°C or higher, 24°C or higher, 25°C or higher, 26°C or lower, 27°C or lower, 28°C or lower, 29°C or lower, and 30°C or lower, with 25°C being preferred. In addition to the condensing agent, imidazole, 1-methylimidazole, 2-methylimidazole, etc. can also be added. Commercially available condensing agents can be purchased and used. Purchased reagents can also be purified and used. Alternatively, the condensing agent can be produced by a known method. For example, 1-cyanoimidazole can be produced and used by a method known to those skilled in the art, such as that reported in Luebke KJ and Dervan PB., Nucleic Acids Research, 1992, 20, 3005-3009.
[0060] A product may be obtained in which a condensation agent or a component derived from the condensation agent is added to the ligation product with dehydration. For example, a product in which 1H-imidazole, a component derived from the condensation agent 1-cyanoimidazole, is added to the full-length ligation product with dehydration. A product in which a condensation agent or a component derived from the condensation agent is added to the ligation product with dehydration can be converted to the original ligation product by post-treatment under acidic or basic conditions, a method known to those skilled in the art, such as that reported in Kanavarioti A, Bernasconi CF, Doodokyan DL, Alberas DJ., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1989, 111, 7247-7257.
[0061] (Divalent Metal Salt) In some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, step (b) may be a step of phosphodiester-linking a double-stranded oligonucleotide tag to a headpiece oligonucleotide or an oligonucleotide contained in an encoded compound by chemical ligation in the presence of a divalent metal salt. In other embodiments of the production method of the present invention, step (b) may be a step of phosphodiester-linking a single-stranded oligonucleotide tag to a headpiece single-stranded oligonucleotide by chemical ligation in the presence of a divalent metal salt.
[0062] In chemical ligation, the reaction can be optimized using a divalent metal salt that is effective in chemical ligation reactions. By performing chemical ligation in the presence of a divalent metal salt, the formation of a one-sided ligation product can be suppressed and the formation of a full-length ligation product can be promoted.
[0063] Divalent metal salts include Co 2+ salts (e.g., soluble Co such as CoCl2, CoBr2, Co(NO3)2, CoSO4, etc. 2+ source), Cu 2+ salts (e.g., CuF2, CuCl2, CuBr2, CuI2, Cu(NO3)2, CuSO4, etc.) 2+ source), Zn 2+ salts (e.g., soluble Zn such as ZnF2, ZnCl2, ZnBr2, ZnI2, Zn(NO3)2, Zn(ClO3)2, ZnSO4, Zn(O2CCH3)2, Zn(OSOCF3)2, Zn(SO2CF3)2, etc. 2+ source) or in situ oxidized elemental zinc, Mn 2+ salts (e.g., soluble Mn such as MnSO4, MnCl2, MnBr2, etc.) 2+ The divalent metal salts include Co, 2+ , Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ , or Mn 2+ The salts of Co are preferred. 2+ , Cu 2+ Or Zn 2+ The salts of Co are more preferred. 2+or Cu 2+ More preferred are salts of Co 2+ Most preferred are salts of Cu, e.g., CoCl2. 2+ salts such as CuCl2 or Zn 2+ In another embodiment, a divalent metal salt such as ZnCl2 is preferred. In the present invention, a divalent metal salt that can be used in chemical ligation may be referred to as a divalent metal salt that is effective in a chemical ligation reaction.
[0064] In chemical ligation, the condensing agent and divalent metal salt are cyano derivatives or imidazole derivatives and Co 2+ , Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ , Mn 2+ Combinations of salts such as cyano derivatives or imidazole derivatives with Co 2+ , Cu 2+ or Zn 2+ A combination of a cyano derivative or an imidazole derivative with a salt of Co is preferred. 2+ or Cu 2+ More preferred is a combination of a cyano derivative or an imidazole derivative with a salt of Co 2+ The combination of cyano or imidazole derivatives with Cu salts, such as CoCl2, is particularly preferred. 2+ salts such as CuCl2 or Zn 2+ In another embodiment, a combination with a salt of, for example, ZnCl2 is preferred. In these combinations, the cyano derivative or imidazole derivative is preferably 1-cyanoimidazole or 1-cyano-2-methylimidazole.
[0065] Chemical ligation may be performed in the presence of other additives to the extent that the ligation efficiency is not reduced, unintended products are not increased, etc. Examples of other additives include sodium salts such as sodium chloride.
[0066] (Buffer Solution) In some embodiments of the manufacturing method of the present invention, step (b) may be a step of phosphodiester-linking a double-stranded oligonucleotide tag to a headpiece oligonucleotide or an oligonucleotide contained in an encoded compound by chemical ligation in the presence of a buffer solution. In other embodiments of the method of the present invention, step (b) may be a step of phosphodiester-linking a single-stranded oligonucleotide tag to a headpiece single-stranded oligonucleotide by chemical ligation in the presence of a buffer solution.
[0067] In chemical ligation, the ligation reaction can be optimized by adjusting the pH of the reaction solution using a buffer. Chemical ligation using a buffer with a specific pH can suppress the formation of one-sided ligation products and promote the formation of full-length ligation products. A one-sided ligation product is one in which an oligonucleotide tag is bound to only the 3'-end or 5'-end of an oligonucleotide in a headpiece, when the headpiece is either i) a single-stranded structure in which two complementary oligonucleotide strands are connected by a spacer containing a chemically reactive site, or ii) a double-stranded structure in which one of the two complementary oligonucleotide strands has a chemically reactive site via a spacer. In contrast, a full-length ligation product refers to a product in which tags are attached to both the 3'-end and 5'-end of an oligonucleotide in a headpiece when the headpiece is i) a single-stranded structure in which two complementary oligonucleotide strands are connected by a spacer containing a chemical reaction site, or ii) a double-stranded structure in which one of the two complementary oligonucleotide strands has a chemical reaction site via a spacer, or a product in which a single-stranded oligonucleotide tag is attached to an oligonucleotide in a headpiece when the headpiece is iii) a single-stranded structure in which a chemical reaction site is attached via a spacer on the 3'-end side, or iv) a single-stranded structure in which a chemical reaction site is attached via a spacer on the 5'-end side.
[0068] The pH of the buffer solution may be 7.5 or less, with the upper limit being, for example, 7.5, 7.0, 6.5, or 6.0, and the lower limit being, for example, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, or 5.5. The upper and lower limits described above can be used in combination and expressed as the pH range of the buffer solution. The pH of the buffer solution is preferably 4.0 to 7.0, more preferably 4.5 to 6.5, and even more preferably 5.0 to 6.0. In another embodiment, the pH is preferably 4.5 to 5.5.

[0070] When a cyano derivative or an imidazole derivative, such as 1-cyanoimidazole, is used as the condensing agent, the pH of the buffer solution can be 4.0 to 7.0, preferably 4.0 to 6.0, and particularly preferably 4.0 to 5.0. In other embodiments, a pH of 4.0 to 4.5 or 4.5 to 5.5 is preferred.
[0071] When a carbodiimide derivative, such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride, is used as the condensing agent, the pH of the buffer solution can be 4.0 to 8.0, preferably 5.0 to 7.0, and particularly preferably 5.0 to 6.0. In another embodiment, the pH is preferably 6.0 to 7.0.
[0072] The buffer solution used may be any commonly used one that can be adjusted to the above pH range, such as acetate buffer, phosphate buffer, citrate buffer, borate buffer, tartrate buffer, MES (2-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid), bistrismethane, ADA (N-(2-acetamido)-iminodiacetic acid), PIPES (piperazine-2,4-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid)), ACES (N-(2-acetamido)-aminoethanesulfonic acid), MOPSO (2-hydroxy-3-morpholinopropanesulfonic acid), cholamine hydrochloride, MOPS (3-morpholinopropanesulfonic acid), BES (N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid), TES (N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid), Acid), HEPES (N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N'-(2-ethanesulfonic acid)), acetamidoglycine, TAPSO (N-tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl-3-aminopropanesulfonic acid), TEA (triethanolamine), POPSO (piperazine-1,4-bis(2-hydroxypropanesulfonic acid)), HEPPSO (tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl-3-aminopropanesulfonic acid), EPPS (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinepropanesulfonic acid), HEPPS (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazinepropanesulfonic acid), Tricine, Tris (trishydroxymethylaminomethane), glycineamide, bicine, Good's buffer such as TAPS, etc. Preferably, MES or MOPS can be used.
[0073] The reaction time for chemical ligation is not particularly limited, but may be 0.5 to 72 hours, preferably 1 to 50 hours, more preferably 2 to 24 hours, and particularly preferably 3 to 20 hours.
[0074] The reaction temperature for chemical ligation may be, for example, 0 to 50°C, preferably 0 to 25°C, more preferably 0 to 10°C, and most preferably 0 to 5°C. In another embodiment, 20 to 30°C is preferred. When 1-cyano-2-methylimidazole is used as the condensing agent, the reaction temperature may be selected from 20 to 30°C. When 1-cyanoimidazole is used as the condensing agent, the reaction temperature may be selected from 0 to 5°C.
[0075] The ligation reaction is preferably carried out in the absence of nucleases such as deoxyribonuclease, which is a DNA degrading enzyme, or ribonuclease, which is an RNA degrading enzyme.
[0076] (Overhang) "Overhang" refers to a protruding end with a single strand protruding from the end of a hybridized oligonucleotide chain. The headpiece oligonucleotide may have an overhang, and if the overhang and the overhang of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag are complementary, the reaction site can be brought closer during ligation, resulting in a structure suitable for ligation. When the oligonucleotide in the headpiece has an overhang, the overhang may be at the 3'-end or 5'-end of the oligonucleotide chain, but the 3'-end is preferred. That is, in some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, the headpiece oligonucleotide preferably has an overhang at the 3'-end. The base length of the overhang of the oligonucleotide in the headpiece can be, for example, 1 to 7 bases, preferably 2 to 6 bases, more preferably 3 to 6 bases, even more preferably 4 to 6 bases, particularly preferably 4 to 5 bases, and most preferably 5 bases. In other embodiments, a 4-base or 6-base length is preferred.
[0077] In some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag may have an overhang, and if the overhang is complementary to the overhang of the oligonucleotide in the headpiece, the reaction site can be brought close to each other during ligation, resulting in a structure suitable for ligation. In the present invention, when a double-stranded oligonucleotide tag has an overhang, this encompasses both the double-stranded oligonucleotide of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag that hybridizes before ligation to the headpiece having an overhang, and the double-stranded oligonucleotide of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag that is ligated to the headpiece one strand at a time and hybridizes to the headpiece having an overhang. In some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag preferably has an overhang at its 3' end. The base length of the overhang of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag may be, for example, 1 to 7 bases, preferably 2 to 6 bases, more preferably 3 to 6 bases, even more preferably 4 to 6 bases, particularly preferably 4 to 5 bases, and most preferably 5 bases. In other embodiments, a length of 4 or 6 bases is preferred.
[0078] (Dummy Oligo) In the present invention, a "dummy oligo" refers to a single-stranded oligonucleotide comprising a sequence complementary to the sequence of the overhang of the first strand of double-stranded oligonucleotide B (the side opposite to the terminal base involved in ligation), as shown in Scheme 2, for example. The method of performing ligation by adding a dummy oligo involves ligating double-stranded oligonucleotide A and double-stranded oligonucleotide B in the presence of a dummy oligo comprising a sequence complementary to the overhang of the first strand of double-stranded oligonucleotide B, as shown in Scheme 2, for example.
[0079]
[0080] The dummy oligo is preferably a single-stranded oligonucleotide having a sequence complementary to the overhang sequence of the first strand of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag, as shown in Scheme 3. The dummy oligo may have a phosphate group or a hydroxy group at the 3'-end or a phosphate group or a hydroxy group at the 5'-end, and preferably has a hydroxy group at each of the 3'-end and 5'-end. The presence of the dummy oligo can suppress the formation of an overhang cyclized form of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag when the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag is ligated to the headpiece oligonucleotide. An overhang cyclized product is, for example, as shown in Scheme 4, an overhang cyclized product (1), i.e., when the oligonucleotide in the headpiece has an overhang, the overhang portion is bonded to the other end of the oligonucleotide in the headpiece to form a circular product, or an overhang cyclized product (2), i.e., when the oligonucleotide in the headpiece is bonded to the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag, the overhang portion of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag bonded to the oligonucleotide in the headpiece is bonded to the other end of the oligonucleotide tag strand to form a circular product.
[0081]
[0082]
[0083] In some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, in step (b), the first strand of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag, i.e., the strand that binds to the 3'-end of the headpiece oligonucleotide, may have an overhang on the 3'-end, and further, the chemical ligation in step (b) may be performed in the presence of a dummy oligonucleotide comprising a sequence complementary to the overhang on the 3'-end of the first strand of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag. In some preferred embodiments of the production method of the present invention, in step (b), the first strand of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag has an overhang on the 3'-end, and the chemical ligation may be performed in the presence of a dummy oligonucleotide comprising a sequence complementary to the overhang on the 3'-end of the first strand of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag.
[0084] The amount of the dummy oligo is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of suppressing the formation of overhang cyclized products, the molar equivalent of the dummy oligo is preferably 0.5 or more relative to the headpiece, more preferably 1.0 or more, even more preferably 1.5 or more, particularly preferably 2.0 or more, more preferably 3.0 or more, and most preferably 7.5 or more. In another embodiment, the molar equivalent of the dummy oligo is preferably 0.5 or more relative to the double-stranded oligonucleotide or double-stranded oligonucleotide tag, more preferably 1.0 or more, even more preferably 1.3 or more, particularly preferably 2.0 or more, and most preferably 5 or more.
[0085] When chemical ligation is performed in the presence of a dummy oligo, the reaction time for chemical ligation may be 0.5 to 72 hours, preferably 1 to 50 hours, more preferably 2 to 24 hours, and particularly preferably 3 to 20 hours. This is because a reaction time within these ranges can prevent the formation of overhang cyclized products by chemical ligation. When chemical ligation is performed in the absence of a dummy oligo, the reaction time is preferably 0.5 to 20 hours.
[0086] In the present invention, the term "complementary sequence" refers to a sequence of nucleotides that can form a complementary base pair between two nucleic acid oligonucleotides by forming a specific combination of adenine and thymine (or uracil) or guanine and cytosine and interacting with each other through hydrogen bonds. The formation of a complementary base pair is also called hybridization. The base pair may be a Watson-Crick base pair, a Hoogsteen base pair, or a base pair formed by other hydrogen-bonding motifs (e.g., artificial nucleobases described in *The Chemical Biology of Nucleic Acids* (Gunter Mayer, John Wiley & Sons, 2010)). There are no limitations on the complementary sequences between the two oligonucleotides that can form a double-stranded chain, and there are also no limitations on the homology between the two sequences. Homology is preferably 99% or more, 98% or more, 95% or more, 90% or more, 80% or more, 70% or more, 60% or more, or 50% or more.
[0087] "PCR" refers to polymerase chain reaction. PCR is a method for amplifying oligonucleotide chains and is a technique well known to those skilled in the art. In PCR, (1) the double-stranded oligonucleotide chain to be amplified is dissociated into single strands by heat treatment or other means, and (2) the temperature is adjusted to a suitable temperature for enzymatic reaction. Then, an enzyme (e.g., DNA polymerase) contained in the reaction system synthesizes complementary strands to each single strand. In other words, one double-stranded oligonucleotide can be amplified into two. In PCR, steps (1) and (2) are repeated by adjusting the temperature, allowing for highly efficient amplification of oligonucleotide chains.
[0088] In the present invention, the term "primer" refers to an oligonucleotide that anneals to a template oligonucleotide strand and is extended by an enzyme (such as DNA polymerase) in a template-dependent manner.
[0089] In the present invention, the term "primer oligonucleotide sequence for PCR" refers to the sequence of the portion of an oligonucleotide chain to which a primer anneals, and is preferably a sequence suitable for PCR as known in the art.
[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, a single-stranded oligonucleotide tag can be linked to a headpiece single-stranded oligonucleotide via a phosphodiester bond by chemical ligation in the presence of a splint oligonucleotide. Ligation methods using a splint oligonucleotide are preferably used to link a single-stranded oligonucleotide to a headpiece single-stranded oligonucleotide having either iii) a single-stranded oligonucleotide structure having a chemical reactive site at the 3'-end via a spacer, or iv) a single-stranded oligonucleotide structure having a chemical reactive site at the 5'-end via a spacer.
[0091] A "splint oligonucleotide" is a single-stranded oligonucleotide having a sequence complementary to the base sequence of a headpiece having either iii) a single-stranded structure with a chemically reactive site at the 3'-end via a spacer, or iv) a single-stranded structure with a chemically reactive site at the 5'-end via a spacer, as shown in Scheme 5, in order to bring the reactive site at which a single-stranded oligonucleotide tag is linked closer to the headpiece. The splint oligonucleotide can be any base length, as long as it is a single-stranded oligonucleotide having a sequence complementary to the base sequence of a headpiece with a reactive site at either end, for example, 6 to 50 bases, 8 to 40 bases, 10 to 30 bases, or preferably 15 to 25 bases. The splint oligonucleotide may have a phosphate or hydroxy group at the 3'-end or a phosphate or hydroxy group at the 5'-end, and preferably has a hydroxy group at each of the 3'-end and 5'-end.
[0092]

[0094] In some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, n represents a natural number from 1 to 10, m represents a natural number up to n, and the mth represents the number of times step (b') and step (c') are performed. The upper limit of n may be, for example, any natural number from 1 to 10, and is preferably 8, more preferably 6, even more preferably 4, and most preferably 3. There is also another preferred embodiment in which the upper limit of n is 2.
[0095] In some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, the encoded compound (m-1) comprises a chemical reaction site, a sequence of a double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (m-1), and a structural unit of a building block (m-1), and the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (m) and the building block (m) may not be bonded together. Furthermore, the oligonucleotide contained in the encoded compound (m-1) may have an overhang. Complementarity between the overhang of the oligonucleotide contained in the encoded compound (m-1) and the overhang of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (m) allows the reaction site to approach each other during ligation, resulting in a structure suitable for ligation. When the oligonucleotide contained in the encoded compound (m-1) has an overhang, the overhang may be at the 3'-end or the 5'-end of the oligonucleotide chain, but preferably at the 3'-end. That is, in some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, the oligonucleotide contained in the encoded compound (m-1) preferably has an overhang at the 3'-end. The base length of the oligonucleotide overhang contained in the encoded compound (m-1) can be, for example, 1 to 7 bases, preferably 2 to 6 bases, more preferably 3 to 6 bases, even more preferably 4 to 6 bases, particularly preferably 4 to 5 bases, and most preferably 5 bases. There is also another embodiment in which a 4-base or 6-base length is preferred.
[0096] In some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, when m is 1, the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (m-1) and the building block (m-1) refer to the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag and the building block used in step (b) and step (c), respectively.
[0097] In some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, "(b') phosphodiester-linking the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (m) to the oligonucleotide contained in the encoded compound (m-1) by chemical ligation" may mean binding the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (m) to the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (m-1) contained in the encoded compound (m-1).
[0098] In some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, the "chemically reactive site" in "(c') directly or indirectly binding at least one building block (m) to a chemically reactive site of the encoded compound (m-1)" may be any chemically reactive site of the headpiece, linker, building block, or scaffold compound contained in the encoded compound (m-1).
[0099] In some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, the phrase "step (b') and step (c') can be performed in any order in the mth iteration" means that step (b') and step (c') can be performed in any order from step (b') to step (c') or from step (c') to step (b') in the mth iteration.
[0100] In some embodiments of the manufacturing method of the present invention, step (b) and / or step (b') may be a step of phosphodiester-linking the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag to the headpiece oligonucleotide or the oligonucleotide contained in the encoded compound by chemical ligation in the presence of a condensing agent.
[0101] In some embodiments of the manufacturing method of the present invention, step (b) and / or step (b') may be a step of phosphodiester-linking a double-stranded oligonucleotide tag to a headpiece oligonucleotide or an oligonucleotide contained in an encoded compound by chemical ligation in the presence of a divalent metal salt.

[0116] (Closing Primer) In the present invention, the term "closing primer" refers to an oligonucleotide consisting of a single-stranded or double-stranded oligonucleotide, having a fixed sequence required for binding to a primer used in amplifying a tag-containing region by PCR. When the closing primer consists of a double-stranded oligonucleotide, the closing primer has a fixed sequence required for binding to a primer used in amplifying a tag-containing region by PCR, in the strand opposite to the primer oligonucleotide. The closing primer may contain modified nucleotides known to those skilled in the art, for example, as described in Non-Patent Document 1. When the closing primer is a double-stranded oligonucleotide, it is preferable that the closing primer contains a modified nucleotide in the second strand, i.e., the strand that binds to the 5'-end of the oligonucleotide encoding the compound. The modified nucleotide refers to a variable nucleotide, and in the case of DNA, for example, examples include modified nucleotides containing a mixture of the four nucleobases adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine. The modified nucleotides may be oligonucleotides consisting of multiple consecutive modified nucleotides. For example, a 12-base-long oligonucleotide containing a mixture of the four types of modified nucleotides (adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine) allows for 4 to the power of 12 (16,777,216) different sequences. The oligonucleotides consisting of modified nucleotides may be, for example, 5 to 30 bases long, preferably 8 to 20 bases long. The oligonucleotides consisting of modified nucleotides are called UMIs (Unique Molecular Identifiers) and are used to determine whether a sequence is the result of PCR duplication (identical sequence) or an independent occurrence of a molecule (different sequence). In other words, the UMI can reduce the potential number of false positives in amplicon sequencing analysis performed after selection of the encoded compound against the biological target.
[0117] In the step (e) of ligating the Closing Primer to the oligonucleotide of the encoded compound via a phosphodiester bond, the ligation may be either enzymatic ligation or chemical ligation. Unless otherwise specified, the type of ligation is not limited. However, in some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, enzymatic ligation is preferred, and in other embodiments of the production method of the present invention, chemical ligation is preferred.
[0118] For example, ligation can be enzymatic ligation when the phosphate group at the 5' end of a closing primer is ligated to the hydroxy group at the 3' end of an oligonucleotide contained in the encoded compound, and when the hydroxy group at the 3' end of a closing primer is ligated to the phosphate group at the 5' end of an oligonucleotide contained in the encoded compound. Ligation can also be chemical ligation when the hydroxy group at the 5' end of a closing primer is ligated to the phosphate group at the 3' end of an oligonucleotide contained in the encoded compound, and when the phosphate group at the 3' end of a closing primer is ligated to the hydroxy group at the 5' end of an oligonucleotide contained in the encoded compound.
[0119] The enzyme used in enzymatic ligation may be, for example, DNA ligase. DNA ligase forms a phosphodiester bond between the phosphate group at the 5'-end and the hydroxyl group at the 3'-end of DNA. Therefore, when DNA ligase is used in step (e), it is desirable to make the ends of the encoded compound oligonucleotide a 5'-phosphate group and a 3'-hydroxyl group. That is, in the methods of the sixth aspect of the present invention and the eleventh aspect described below, it is preferred that the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (m) in step (b') has a hydroxyl group at the 5'-end and a hydroxyl group at the 3'-end of the first strand, and a phosphate group at the 3'-end and a phosphate group at the 5'-end of the second strand only in the nth iteration (the nth iteration refers to the number of times steps (a') to (d') are performed).
[0120] In step (e), if a protruding end remains after ligating the closing primer to form a phosphodiester bond, the end can be blunted by a method known to those skilled in the art, such as that described in Sambrook, J., Fritsch, E. F., and Maniatis, T. (1989) Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed., pp. 5. 40-5. 43. That is, the method according to the sixth aspect of the present invention may include a step of enzymatically blunting the protruding end after ligating the closing primer to form a phosphodiester bond in step (e). For example, if a 5'-protruding end is formed by ligating the closing primer, the blunt end can be formed using Klenow Fragment derived from Escherichia coli DNA polymerase I.
[0121] In some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, in step (b) and / or step (b'), the first strand of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (m-1) and / or the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (m) may have an overhang on the 3'-end, and further, the chemical ligation in step (b) and / or step (b') may be performed in the presence of a dummy oligonucleotide comprising a sequence complementary to the overhang on the 3'-end of the first strand of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag. In some preferred embodiments of the production method of the present invention, in step (b) and / or step (b'), the first strand of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (m-1) and / or the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (m) may have an overhang on the 3'-end, and further, the chemical ligation in step (b) and / or step (b') may be performed in the presence of a dummy oligonucleotide comprising a sequence complementary to the overhang on the 3'-end of the first strand of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag. However, in some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, which includes a step of binding a closing primer, it is preferable that the nth round is carried out in the absence of a dummy oligonucleotide containing a sequence complementary to the overhang on the 3'-end side of the first strand of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (m).
[0122] <Seventh Aspect> According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for producing an oligonucleotide-encoded compound, the method comprising the following steps (a) to (c): (a) preparing a complex comprising a building block (p), a headpiece, and a double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (p), wherein in the complex, at least one building block (p) is bound directly or indirectly to the headpiece, and the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (p) is bound to the headpiece, the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (p) is composed of at least one double-stranded oligonucleotide, is bound to the headpiece at the 5'-end of the first strand and the 3'-end of the second strand, has a phosphate group at the 3'-end of the first strand and a hydroxy group at the 5'-end of the second strand, and the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (p) encodes the building block (p); (b) phosphodiester-linking the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag to an oligonucleotide contained in the complex by chemical ligation, the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag is composed of at least one double-stranded oligonucleotide, having a hydroxy group at the 5'-end and a phosphate group at the 3'-end of the first strand, and having a phosphate group at the 3'-end and a hydroxy group at the 5'-end of the second strand, wherein the hydroxy group at the 5'-end of the first strand of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag is phosphodiester-linked to the phosphate group at the 3'-end of the oligonucleotide contained in the complex, and the phosphate group at the 3'-end of the second strand of the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag is phosphodiester-linked to the hydroxy group at the 5'-end of the oligonucleotide contained in the complex; and (c) directly or indirectly linking at least one building block to a chemical reaction site contained in the complex; wherein steps (b) and (c) can be performed in any order, and the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag in step (b) encodes the building block in step (c).

In one aspect, the "complex" may be an encoded compound produced by the production method of the present invention. In another aspect, the "complex" may be produced by a method other than the production method of the present invention. The method other than the production method of the present invention may be, for example, a method using enzymatic ligation.
[0126] In some embodiments of the production method of the present invention, "(b) phosphodiester-linking the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag to the oligonucleotide contained in the complex by chemical ligation" may mean binding the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag to the double-stranded oligonucleotide tag (p) contained in the complex.

In other words, in the compounds of the present invention, the oligonucleotide moieties G and H are oligonucleotides contained in a headpiece and do not have a sequence encoding a structural unit of a building block. The oligonucleotide moieties G and H can each be a nucleotide chain consisting of any base length, for example, 1 to 200 bases long, 5 to 100 bases long, 10 to 90 bases long, 15 to 80 bases long, 20 to 70 bases long, 20 to 60 bases long, 20 to 50 bases long, 20 to 40 bases long, 20 to 30 bases long, 30 to 60 bases long, and preferably 40 to 50 bases long. The oligonucleotide moiety G has a phosphate group at the 3'-end, and the oligonucleotide moiety H has a hydroxy group at the 5'-end.
[0161] Preferably, the oligonucleotide portion G or H contains a primer oligonucleotide. In the present invention, the term "primer oligonucleotide" refers to an oligonucleotide having a fixed sequence necessary for binding to a primer used in amplifying a tag-containing region by PCR. In a preferred embodiment, the oligonucleotide portion H contains a primer oligonucleotide, and the primer used in amplifying a tag-containing region by PCR binds to the primer oligonucleotide. Furthermore, each nucleotide monomer constituting the oligonucleotide portions G and H usually consists of two parts: a nucleobase portion and a backbone. In some cases, the backbone may be divided into a sugar portion and an internucleoside linker. The nucleobase portion may be selected from naturally occurring nucleobases and non-naturally occurring artificial nucleobases. Thus, nucleobases include not only naturally occurring purine and pyrimidine heterocycles, but also heterocycle analogs and their tautomers. Nucleobases are defined in accordance with the principles of The Chemical Biology of Nucleic Acids (Gunter Mayer, John Wiley & Sons, 2010) and other publications, and examples thereof include adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine, uracil, purine, inosine, isoguanine, isocytosine, xanthine, diaminopurine, 5-methylcytosine, 5-fluorouracil, 5-bromouracil, 5-iodouracil, 7-deazaguanine, 7-deazaadenine, pseudouracil, 3-methyluracil, dihydrouracil, 5-ethyluracil, 6-azapyrimidine, 6-methyluracil, 2-thiouracil, 4-thiouracil, 4-acetyluracil, and the like.

When the sugar moiety of the backbone is a pentose such as 2'-deoxyribose or ribose, the internucleoside linker connects the 3'-end of the previous monomer to the 5'-end of the next monomer. Examples of internucleoside linkers are described in Non-Patent Document 3, etc., and include phosphodiester bonds, phosphorothioate bonds, etc.
