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.

Abstract: Oligonucleotides directed against the survivin gene are provided for modulating the expression of survivin. The compositions comprise oligonucleotides, particularly antisense oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acids encoding the survivin. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of survivin expression and for the treatment of diseases associated with either overexpression of survivin, expression of mutated survivin or both are provided. Examples of diseases are cancer such as lung, breast, colon, prostate, pancreas, lung, liver, thyroid, kidney, brain, testes, stomach, intestine, bowel, spinal cord, sinuses, bladder, urinary tract or ovaries cancers. The oligonucleotides may be composed of deoxyribonucleosides or a nucleic acid analogue such as for example locked nucleic acid or a combination thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to therapeutic applications of LNA-modified oligonucleotides. In particular, the invention provides methods for treatment of infectious diseases and disorders caused by viruses, bacteria, protozoa or fungi. Preferably, administration of an LNA-modified oligonucleotide modulates expression of a targeted gene associated with the replication or infectivity of a virus, virulence genes, host immune modulating genes and the like. That is, preferred use of LNA-modified oligonucleotide provides an antisense-type therapy with selective modulation of gene expression of predetermined targets.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel drugs which may be used in combating infectious micro-organisms, particularly bacteria. More specifically, the invention relates to peptide nucleic acid (PNA) sequences that are modified by conjugating cationic peptides to the PNA moiety in order to obtain novel PNA molecules that exhibit enhanced anti-infective properties.
