Patent number: 8193337Abstract: A process for the preparation of an oligonucleotide having at least one phosphate internucleotide linkage I provided. The process comprises the steps of: a) forming a nascent oligonucleotide comprising a phosphorus (III) internucleotide linkage; and b) oxidation of the nascent oligonucleotide with aqueous iodine solution thereby to form a phosphorus (V) internucleotide linkage; wherein the oxidation is carried out in the presence of a base, the conjugate acid of said base having a pKa higher than the pKa of the conjugate acid of pyridine. Preferably the base is N-methylimidazole.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2008Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Avecia Biotechnology, Inc.Inventor: Nanda D. Sinha

Patent number: 7038027Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preventing modification of a synthetic oligonucleotide or oligonucleotide analog during removal of at least one ?-cyanoethyl protecting group from the oligonucleotide or oligonucleotide analog. The method involves contacting the oligonucleotide or oligonucleotide analog with a basic solution having at least one acrylonitrile scavenger, such as t-butylamine, at a sufficient temperature and for a sufficient period of time to remove at least one ?-cyanoethyl protecting group. The present invention also relates to a method of producing a synthetic oligonucleotide or oligonucleotide analog.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2001Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: Avecia Biotechnology, Inc.Inventor: Nanda D. Sinha

Patent number: 5859259Abstract: The disclosed invention is drawn to pyrazolinone derivatives, and methods of use thereof, for non-radioactive labeling of amine-functionalized molecules, especially biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, PNA, oligomers, carbohydrates, amino acids and peptides. Carboxyl-containing reporter groups such as biotin and fluorescein may be activated for nucleophilic addition to a primary or secondary amine moiety. Representative compounds of the invention include Dimethoxytritylbiotin-XPP, biotin-XPP, and fluorescein-XPP.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 1996Date of Patent: January 12, 1999Assignee: PerSeptive Biosystems, Inc.Inventors: Nanda D. Sinha, Jonathan N. Kremsky

Patent number: 5756707Abstract: Method for production of 2'-O-derivatized uridine and cytosine RNA synthons comprising derivatizing the 2'-hydroxyl group of a partially protected cytosine ribonucleoside to preferentially produce a partially protected 2'-O-derivatized nucleoside, which is then either (1) reacted at the 3'-hydroxyl group to produce a 2'-O-derivatized cytosine RNA synthon, or (2) reacted with a hydroxide source to produce a uridine nucleobase by deamination, thereby producing a partially protected 2'-O-derivatized uridine ribonucleoside which can be reacted at its 3'-hydroxyl group to produce a uridine RNA synthon.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 1994Date of Patent: May 26, 1998Assignee: PerSeptive Biosystems, Inc.Inventors: Richard P. Hodge, Nanda D. Sinha

Patent number: 4725677Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of oligonucleotides by the following steps: reaction of a nucleoside with a phosphine derivative, reaction of the nucleotide derivative thus obtained with a nucleoside bonded to a polymeric carrier, oxidation of the carrier-bound nucleoside-nucleotide thus obtained with formation of phosphotriester groups, blocking of free primary 5'-OH groups, elimination of a protective group from the terminal 5'-OH group, where appropriate single or multiple repetition of the abovementioned steps to introduce further nucleoside phosphate or oligonucleoside phosphate units, and cleavage of the nucleoside-carrier bond and, where appropriate, elimination of all protective groups present in the oligonucleoside phosphates. The phosphine derivative used is a compound of the general formula III ##STR1## in which X and L can react with OH groups of the sugar units in the oligonucleotides, and R.sup.3 is a protective group which can be liberated by .beta.-elimination.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1985Date of Patent: February 16, 1988Assignee: Biosyntech GmbHInventors: Hubert Koster, Nanda D. Sinha
