21. We have defined LNA as ONs containing one or more 2′-O,4′-C-methylene bicyclic ribonucleoside LNA monomers. 2′-Amino-LNA is defined as an ON containing one or more 2′-N,4′-C-methylene bicyclic 2′-amino-LNA monomers (possibly N-derivatized, e.g., N-methylated to give 2′-methylamino-LNA).
22. The LNA nucleosides containing uracil and cytosine nucleobases have been synthesized independently by a linear approach: Obika, S.; Nanbu, D.; Hari, Y.; Morio, K.; In, Y.; Ishida, T.; Imanishi, T. Tetrahedron Lett. 1997, 38, 8735. Oligomers containing these pyrimidine bases have recently been reported: Obika, S.; Nanbu, D.; Hari, Y.; Andoh, J.; Morio, K.; Doi, T.; Imanishi, T. Tetrahedron Lett. 1998, 39, 5401.
23. The LNA nucleosides containing uracil and cytosine nucleobases have been synthesized independently by a linear approach: Obika, S.; Nanbu, D.; Hari, Y.; Morio, K.; In, Y.; Ishida, T.; Imanishi, T. Tetrahedron Lett. 1997, 38, 8735. Oligomers containing these pyrimidine bases have recently been reported: Obika, S.; Nanbu, D.; Hari, Y.; Andoh, J.; Morio, K.; Doi, T.; Imanishi, T. Tetrahedron Lett. 1998, 39, 5401.
24. Preorganization of LNA nucleosides into a 3′-endo type conformation has been shown by X-ray crystallography (ref 5) and by NMR studies (ref 3).
25. The importance of hydration on duplex stability has been reported for conformationally restricted N3′-P5′-phosphoramidate DNA: Egli, M. Antisense Nucleic Acids Drug Dev. 1998, 8, 123.
26. Preliminary thermodynamic analysis of binding between a fully modified LNA and complementary DNA has indicated a significant enthalpic advantage compared to the corresponding unmodified control: Koshkin, A. A.; Nielsen, P.; Meldgaard, M.; Rajwanshi, V. K.; Singh, S. K.; Wengel, J. J. Am. Chem. Soc., in press. A favorable entropy term has been reported for a duplex between a partly modified LNA and RNA (ref 5).
