Abstract: Certain oxindole compounds have been found to be effective in experimentally induced autoimmune encephalitis and are therefore suggested for the preparation of a medicament for the prevention, treatment or amelioration of multiple sclerosis, or to delay the onset of or reduce the relapse rate in multiple sclerosis.

Abstract: A synthesis of [2.2.1]bicyclo nucleosides which is shorter and provides higher overall yields proceeds via the key intermediate of the general formula III, wherein R4 and R5 are, for instance, sulfonates and R7 is, for instance, a halogen or an acetate. From compounds of the general formula II, such as 3-O-aryl-4-C-hydroxymethyl-1,2-O-isopropylidene-&agr;-D-ribofuranose, intermediates of the general formula III are suitable for coupling with silylated nucleobases. Upon one-pot base-induced ring-closure and desulfonation of the formed [2.2.1]bicyclo nucleoside, a short route to each the LNA (Locked Nucleic Acid) derivatives of adenosine, cytosine, uridine, thymidine and guanidine is demonstrated.

Abstract: Quinone phosphoramidite reagents as well as photoreactive ketone phosphoramidite reagents, such as anthraquinone phosphoramidite reagents and benzophenone phosphoramidite reagents were synthesized and used for the solid phase synthesis of photoreactive-oligonucleotide conjugates. These phosphoramidite reagents are stable, suitable for large-scale synthesis and designed for automated solid phase synthesis of oligomers terminating in a photoreactive moiety.
