  • Potent LNA oligonucleotides for the inhibition of HIF-1a expression
    Patent number: 7939507
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an LNA oligonucleotide consisting of a sequence selected from the group consisting of 5?-(Tx)GxGxcsasasgscsastscscsTxGxT-3? and 5?-(Gx)TxTxascstsgscscststscsTxTxA-3?, wherein capital letters designate a beta-D-oxy-LNA nucleotide analogue, small letters designate a 2-deoxynucleotide, underline designates either a beta-D-oxy-LNA nucleotide analogue or a 2-deoxynucleotide, subscript “s” designates a phosphorothioate link between neighbouring nucleotides/LNA nucleotide analogues, and subscript “x” designates either a phosphorothioate link or a phosphorodiester link between neighbouring nucleotides/LNA nucleotide analogues, and wherein the sequence is optionally extended by up to five 2-deoxynucleotide units. The LNA oligonucleotides are useful for modulating the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1a (HIF-1a), e.g. in the treatment of cancer diseases, inhibiting angiogenesis, inducing apoptosis, preventing cellular proliferation, or treating an angiogenic disease, e.g.

  • Fungicidally active compounds
    Patent number: 5672492
    Abstract: Novel compounds of formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is independently hydrogen, hydroxy, alkyl with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, acyloxy groups with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, alkyloxy with 1 to 6 carbon atoms or from 1 to 5 sugar moieties; and R.sup.2 is independently hydrogen, or alkyl with 1 to 6 carbon atoms. The compounds are producible by aerobic cultivation on suitable nutrient media under suitable conditions of a strain of the fungus Ascochyta sp., subsequent recovery of the active component from the fermentation medium, and optionally modifying the active compound to obtain a compound of the desired formula I. Disclosed is also microorganisms capable of producing said compounds, compositions containing said compounds, and the use of such compositions for controlling fungi in valuable crops, animals, including birds and mammals, and in the preservation of wood, paints and edible products.
