  • Patent number: 9193752
    Abstract: Provided herein are novel 5?-(S)—CH3 substituted bicyclic nucleosides, oligomeric compounds prepared therefrom and methods of using the oligomeric compounds. More particularly, the furanose ring of each of the novel 5?-(S)—CH3 substituted bicyclic nucleosides includes a 2? to 4? bridging group. The 5?-(S)—CH3 substituted bicyclic nucleosides are expected to be useful for enhancing one or more properties of the oligomeric compounds they are incorporated into such as for example increasing the binding affinity. In certain embodiments, the oligomeric compounds provided herein hybridize to a portion of a target RNA resulting in loss of normal function of the target RNA.

  • Publication number: 20150315579
    Abstract: The present invention provides double stranded compositions wherein the first strand is modified to have a particular motif and the second strand is modified a selected motif. The motifs are defined by positioning of differentially modified nucleosides wherein at least the sugar moieties are different. More particularly, the present compositions comprise an antisense strand that is modified to have a positional/full motif and the sense strand is modified to have an alternating motif, a hemimer motif, a blockmer motif, a gapped motif, a positional motif, a positional/full motif or a fully modified motif. Each strand further comprises one or more phosphorothioate internucleoside linkage. The compositions are useful for targeting selected nucleic acid molecules and modulating the expression of one or more genes. In preferred embodiments the compositions of the present invention hybridize to a portion of a target RNA resulting in loss of normal function of the target RNA.
