  • Publication number: 20120165514
    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.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 7687617
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel oligonucleotides with improved antisense properties. The novel oligonucleotides comprise at least one Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) selected from beta-D-thio/amino-LNA or alpha-L-oxy/thio/amino-LNA. The oligonucleotides comprising LNA may also include DNA and/or RNA nucleotides. The present invention also provides a new class of pharmaceuticals which comprise antisense oligonucleotides and are useful in antisense therapy.
