Abstract: The invention relates to a novel strategy for the synthesis of Locked Nucleic Acid derivatives, such as ?-L-oxy-LNA, amino-LNA, ?-L-amino-LNA, thio-LNA, ?-L-thio-LNA, seleno-LNA and methylene LNA, which provides scalable high yielding reactions utilising intermediates that also can produce other LNA analogues such as oxy-LNA. Also, the compounds of the formula X are important intermediates that may be reacted with varieties of nucleophiles leading to a wide variety of LNA analogues.

Abstract: Short oligonucleotides directed against the Apo-B100 gene are provided for modulating the expression of Apo-B100.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns LNA oligonucleotides having a (sub)sequence of the general formula 5?-(MeCx)(Tx)MeCxAsAstsCsCsastsgsgsMeCxAx(Gx)(c)-3?, and preferably of the general formula 5?-MeCxTxMeCxAsastscscsastsgsgsMeCxAxGxc-3?, wherein capital letters designate an LNA nucleotide analogue selected from ?-D-oxy-LNA, ?-D-thio-LNA, ?-D-amino-LNA and ?-L-oxy-LNA, small letters designate a deoxynucleotide, and underline designates either an LNA nucleotide analogue as defined above or a deoxynucleotide. Such LNA oligonucleotides exhibit surprisingly good properties with respect to inhibition of the expression of Survivin by means of an anti-sense mechanism, and thereby lead to reduction or inhibition of tumour development in vivo.
