摘要
2'-Amino-locked nucleic acid has a functionalizable nitrogen atom at the 2'-position of its furanose ring that can provide desired properties to a nucleic acid as a scaffold. In this study, we synthesized a novel nucleic acid, 2'-N-methanesulfonyl-2'-amino-locked nucleic acid (ALNA[Ms]) and conducted comparative studies on the physical and pharmacological properties of the ALNA[Ms] and on conventional nucleic acids, such as 2'-methylamino-LNA (ALNA[Me]), which is a classical 2'-amino-LNA derivative, and also on 2',4'-BNA/LNA (LNA). ALNA[Ms] oligomers exhibited binding affinities for the complementary RNA strand that are similar to those of conventional nucleic acids. Four types of ALNA[Ms] nucleosides exhibited no genotoxicity in bacterial reverse mutation assays. The knockdown abilities of Malat1 RNA using the Matat1 antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) containing ALNA[Ms] were higher than those of ALNA[Me] and were closer to those of LNA. Furthermore, the ASO containing ALNA[Ms] showed different tissue tropism from that containing LNA. ALNA[Ms] exhibited biological activities that were distinct from conventional constrained nucleic acids, suggesting the possibility that ALNA[Ms] can serve as novel modified nucleic acids in oligonucleotide therapeutics.
