Large scale, liquid phase synthesis of oligonucleotides by the phosphoramidite approach.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method for the liquid phase synthesis of oligonucleotides is described which makes use of polyethylene glycol (PEG) as soluble support and phosphoramidite derivatives as synthons. The new synthetic protocol was applied to a quite large scale production (about 100 mumoles) of such compounds up to the 20mer level. This solution method, called HELP High Efficiency Liquid Phase) Plus, appears effective in terms of speed and coupling yield and can be evaluated for the production of large amount of oligonucleotides.

Liquid-Phase Synthesis of 2′-Methyl-RNA on a Homostar Support through Organic-Solvent Nanofiltration
Due to the discovery of RNAi, oligonucleotides (oligos) have re-emerged as a major pharmaceutical target that may soon be required in ton quantities. However, it is questionable whether solid-phase oligo synthesis (SPOS) methods can provide a scalable synthesis. Liquid-phase oligo synthesis (LPOS) is intrinsically scalable and amenable to standard industrial batch synthesis techniques. However,...
متن کاملSynthesis of oligonucleotides on a soluble support
Oligonucleotides are usually prepared in lab scale on a solid support with the aid of a fully automated synthesizer. Scaling up of the equipment has allowed industrial synthesis up to kilogram scale. In spite of this, solution-phase synthesis has received continuous interest, on one hand as a technique that could enable synthesis of even larger amounts and, on the other hand, as a gram scale la...
متن کاملOptimized Large Scale Synthesis of Phosphorothioate Oligonucleotides on PS-PEG Supports
Sulphurization is a crucial step during synthesis of phosphorothioate oligonucleotides. Insuf ficient reaction leads to inhomogeneous products with phosphodiester defects and subsequently to destabilization of the oligomers in biological media. To achieve a maximum extent of sulphur incorporation, various sulphurizing agents have been investigated. Solely, the use of Beaucage reagent provided ...
متن کاملSynthesis of selenium-derivatized nucleosides and oligonucleotides for X-ray crystallography.
We report here the synthesis of nucleoside and oligonucleotide analogs containing selenium, which serves as an anomalous scattering center to enable MAD phase determination in nucleotide X-ray crystallography. We have developed a phase transfer approach to introduce the selenium functionality in A, C, G, T, and U nucleosides at 5'-positions. In the incorporation of the selenium functionality, t...
متن کاملFormation of N-branched oligonucleotides as by-products in solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis.
During the synthesis of oligonucleotides by the standard phosphoramidite method using 2'-deoxycytidine- derivatized solid support, a side reaction was observed that gave rise to the formation of high molecular weight N-branched oligomers having two identical chains linked to the 3'-terminal 2'-deoxycytidine. Postsynthesis treatment with neat triethylamine trihydrofluoride selectively cleaved th...
