Abstract: | Synthesis of the novel alpha-L-ribofuranosyl phosphoramidite derivative was accomplished via the alpha-L-ribofuranosyl thymine nucleoside. Amidite was used in automated syntheses of chimeric oligonucleotides composed of mixtures of the novel alpha-L-RNA nucleotide monomer ((alphaL)T, alpha-L-ribo configured RNA), and DNA, LNA (T(L), locked nucleic acid) or alpha-L-LNA ((alphaL)T(L), alpha-L-ribo configured locked nucleic acid) nucleotide monomers. For alpha-L-RNA/DNA and alpha-L-RNA/alpha-L-LNA chimeras, RNA-selective hybridization was obtained, for alpha-L-RNA/alpha-L-LNA chimera we found increased binding affinity compared to the corresponding DNA:RNA reference duplex. In addition, alpha-L-RNA/alpha-L-LNA chimera displayed significant stabilization towards 3'-exonucleolytic degradation. These results indicate that alpha-L-RNA/alpha-L-LNA chimeras deserve further evaluation as antisense molecules. |
