Patent number: 8304532Abstract: A solution phase synthesis method for preparing an oligonucleotide, wherein at least some of the reagents are solid supported. The method suitable for large-scale synthesis comprises coupling a protected compound with a nucleotide derivative having a protection group in the presence of a solid supported activator to give an elongated oligonucleotide with a P(III)-internucleotide bond; optionally processing the elongated oligonucleotide by capping by reaction with a solid supported capping agent and/or by oxidizing or sulfurizing by reaction of the oligonucleotide with a solid supported oxidizing or sulfurization reagent; and removing the protection group. The coupling may include reacting a 3?-protected compound of formula: with a nucleotide derivative having a 5?-protection group, or reacting a 5?-protected compound of formula with a nucleotide derivative having a 3?-protection group.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2011Date of Patent: November 6, 2012Assignees: Girindus AG, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, University of Montpellier IIInventors: Ilaria Adamo, Cecile Dueymes, Andreas Schonberger, Jean-Louis Imbach, Albert Meyer, Francois Morvan, Francoise Debart, Jean-Jacques Vasseur, Meinolf Lange, Fritz Link
