20140350234 | Nucleosides and Oligonucleotides for Studies on Reversal of Cytotoxic and Mutagenic Damage of DNA and as Diagnostics Tools - The present invention is directed to n-alkylated synthetic nucleosides of high regiospecific purity and oligonucleotides that can be utilized for studies on reversal of cytotoxic and mutagenic DNA damage, and as diagnostic tools. | 11-27-2014 |
20140142253 | Dithiolane Based Thiol Modifier For Labeling and Stronger Immobilization of Bio-Molecules On Solid Surfaces - The thiol modified oligonucleotides have vast number of applications in the field of nucleic acid chemistry. The conjugates generated by mono thiol groups are unstable at higher temperature, in high salt concentration buffers and in presence other thiols. There is strong need to develop a novel thiol modifier probes that can generate multiple thiol groups. Described herein are efficient processes and compounds, dithiolane phosphoramidites derivative and dithiolane succinyl supports. The advantage of our cyclic disulfide thiol modifier is multifold a) each incorporation introduces two thiol groups; b) it can be introduced at any desired site of oligonucleotides; c) The symmetrical branching nature of the spacer in the linker arm of dithiolane allows for clean oligo synthesis, where cleavage of the linker arm and thereby of loss of oligo chain is prevented. We have successfully made 20-mer oligonucleotide containing single dithiolane derivative at 3′, and 21-mer oligonucleotides containing single dithiolane derivative at 5′ or in the middle of the mixed base sequence. HPLC and ESI MS analysis of these oligonucleotides indicated satisfactory purity and correct composition of these oligos, respectively. | 05-22-2014 |
20130072670 | RNA SYNTHESIS-PHOSPHORAMIDITES FOR SYNTHETIC RNA IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION, AND APPLICATION IN CONVENIENT INTRODUCTION OF LIGANDS, CHROMOPHORES AND MODIFICATIONS OF SYNTHETIC RNA AT THE 3'-END - The present invention relates to novel phosphoramidites, A-n-bz, C-n-bz, C-n-ac, G-n-ac and U are produced with an HPLC purity of greater than 98% and | 03-21-2013 |
20110137010 | PHOSPHORAMIDITES FOR SYNTHETIC RNA IN THE REVERSE DIRECTION, EFFICIENT RNA SYNTHESIS AND CONVENIENT INTRODUCTION OF 3'-END LIGANDS, CHROMOPHORES AND MODIFICATIONS OF SYNTHETIC RNA - The present invention provides building blocks and methods for synthesizing very pure RNA in a form that can efficiently be modified at the 3′ end. Reverse RNA monomer phosphoramidites have been developed for RNA synthesis in 5′→3′ direction, leading to very clean oligo synthesis that allows for the introduction of various modifications at the 3′-end cleanly and efficiently. Higher coupling efficiency per step have been observed during automated oligo synthesis with the reverse RNA amidites disclosed herein, resulting in a greater ability to achieve higher purity and produce very long oligonucleotides. The use of the reverse RNA phosphoramidites in the synthetic process of this invention leads to oligonucleotides free of N+1 species. | 06-09-2011 |
20110015382 | Synthesis of N-FMOC protected deoxy nucleosides, ribo nucleosides, modified deoxy and ribo nucleosides, and phosphoramidites, and their use in oligonucleotide synthesis - This invention relates to synthesis of novel -N-FMOC protected nucleosides, succinates, phosphoramidites, corresponding solid supports that are suitable for oligo deoxy nucleosides and RNA oligonucleotide synthesis. Our discovery using N-FMOC as nucleoside base protecting group, which is highly base labile protecting group is a novel approach to obtain highest purity oligonucleotides. This approach is designed to lead to very high purity and very clean oligonucleotide, after efficient removal of the protecting groups and to produce high purity therapeutic grade DNA oligonucleotides, RNA oligonucleotides, diagnostic DNA, diagnostic RNA for microarray platform. The deprotection of FMOC protecting groups of the natural deoxy and ribonucleosides occurs under very mild deprotection conditions such as mild bases, secondary and tertiary amines for removal of such groups under such conditions would allows synthesis of various DNA and RNA of highest purity for diagnostics and therapeutic application. This approach is further designed to use FMOC protecting group on various base sensitive nucleoside, and for use in oligo peptide synthesis and for support bound oligo nucleotides. DNA oligonucleotides containing 3′-end dA at the 3′-terminal will be produced using the FMOC-dA-supports would lead to much reduced M−1 deletion sequences, and thereby high purity. | 01-20-2011 |
