Description
LIGAND-CONJUGATED OLIGOMERIC COMPOUNDS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to ligand-conjugated oligomeric compounds which bind to protein molecules and possess enhanced pharmacokinetic properties. The present invention further relates to methods for increasing the concentration of oligomeric compounds in serum and methods for promoting the cellular uptake of oligomeric compounds in cells.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Protein synthesis is directed by nucleic acids through the intermediacy of messenger RNA (mRNA). Antisense methodology is the complementary hybridization of relatively short oligonucleotides to mRNA or DNA such that the normal, essential functions, such as protein synthesis, of these intracellular nucleic acids are disrupted. Hybridization is the sequence-specific hydrogen bonding via Watson-Crick base pairs of oligonucleotides to RNA or single-stranded DNA.
Such base pairs are said to be complementary to one another.
The naturally-occurring events that provide the disruption of the nucleic acid function, discussed by Cohen (Oligonucleotides: Antisense Inhibitors of Gene Expression, CRC Press, Inc., 1989, Boca Raton, Fl.) are thought to be of _2_ two types. The first, hybridization arrest, describes the terminating event in which the oligonucleotide inhibitor binds to the target nucleic acid and thus prevents, by simple steric hindrance, the binding of essential proteins, most often ribosomes, to the nucleic acid. Methyl phosphonate oligonucleotides (Miller et a1. (1987) Anti-cancer Drug Design, 2:117-128), and a-anomer oligonucleotides are the two most extensively studied antisense agents which are thought to disrupt nucleic acid function by hybridization arrest.
Another means by which antisense oligonucleotides disrupt nucleic acid function is by hybridization to a target mRNA, followed by enzymatic cleavage of the targeted RNA by intracellular RNase H. A 2'-deoxyribofuranosyl oligonucleotide or oligonucleotide analog hybridizes with the targeted RNA and this duplex activates the RNase H
enzyme to cleave the RNA strand, thus destroying the normal function of the RNA. Phosphorothioate oligonucleotides are the most prominent example of an antisense agent that operates by this type of antisense terminating event.
Considerable research is being directed to the application of oligonucleotides and oligonucleotide analogs as antisense agents for diagnostics, research applications and potential therapeutic purposes. One of the major hurdles that has only partially been overcome in vivo is efficient cellular uptake which is severely hampered by the rapid degradation and excretion of oligonucleotides. The generally accepted process of cellular uptake is by receptor-mediated endocytosis which is dependent on the temperature and concentration of the oligonucleotides in serum and extra vascular fluids.
Efforts aimed at improving the transmembrane delivery of nucleic acids and oligonucleotides have utilized protein carriers, antibody carriers, liposomal delivery systems, electroporation, direct injection, cell fusion, viral vectors, and calcium phosphate-mediated transformation.
However, many of these techniques are limited by the types of cells in which transmembrane transport is enabled and by the conditions needed for achieving such transport. An alternative that is particularly attractive for the transmembrane delivery of oligonucleotides is modification of the physicochemical properties of oligonucleotides via conjugation to a molecule that facilitates transport.
Another alternative is to increase the stability of oligonucleotides in serum, thereby increasing their concentration and distribution.
It has been previously reported that oligonucleotides modified with a 4-[(N-2-chloroethyl-N-methyl)amino]benzylamine reactive functionality at a 5'-phosphate position react with albumin and immunoglobulins M
and G (Yu et al., FEBS Letters, 1994, 334:96-98). Binding to albumin was weak at about 20 ~M with immunoglobulin binding stronger at about 4 to 6 uM. This study further reported that oligonucleotides conjugated to steroids had increased affinity for blood cells and thus changed their distribution and increased their lifetime in serum. One method for increasing membrane or cellular transport of oligonucleotides is the attachment of a pendant lipophilic group. Ramirez et a1. (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1982, 104:5483) introduced the phospholipid group 5'-0-(1,2-di-0-myristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoryl) into the dimer TpT independently at the 3' and 5' positions. Subsequently Shea et al. (Nuc.
Acids Res., 1990, 18:3777) disclosed oligonucleotides having a 1,2-di-0-hexyldecyl-rac-glycerol group linked to a 5'-phosphate on the 5'-terminus of the oligonucleotide.
Certain of the Shea et al. authors also disclosed these and other compounds in patent application PCT/US90/01002. A
further glucosyl phospholipid was disclosed by Guerra et al., Tetrahedron Letters, 1987, 28:3581.
In other work, a cholesteryl group was attached to the internucleotide linkage between the first and second nucleotides (from the 3' terminus) of an oligonucleotide.
This work is disclosed in United States patent 4,958,013 and further in Letsinger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1989, 86:6553. Additional approaches to the delivery and study of oligonucleotides have involved the conjugation of a variety of other molecules and reporter groups. The aromatic intercalating agent anthraquinone was attached to the 2' position of a sugar fragment of an oligonucleotide as reported by Yamana et a1. (Bioconjugate Chem., 1990, 1:319), Lemairte et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1986, 84:648) and Leonetti et al. (Bioconjugate Chem., 1990, 1:149).
Lysine and polylysines have also been conjugated to oligonucleotides to improve their charge-size characteristics. The poly(L-lysine) was linked to the oligonucleotide via periodate oxidation of the 3'-terminal ribose followed by reduction and coupling through a N-morpholine ring. Oligonucleotide-poly(L-lysine) conjugates are described in European Patent application 87109348Ø In this instance, the lysine residue was coupled to a 5' or 3' phosphate of the 5' or 3' terminal nucleotide of the oligonucleotide. A disulfide linkage has also been utilized at the 3' terminus of an oligonucleotide to link a peptide to the oligonucleotide. See, Corey and Schultz, Science, 1987, 238:1401; Zuckermann et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1988, 110:1614; and Corey et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1989, 111:8524.
A linking reagent for attaching biotin to the 3'-terminus of an oligonucleotide has also been described.
Nelson et al., Nuc. Acids Res., 1989, 17:7187. This reagent, N-Fmoc-O-DMT-3-amino-1,2-propanediol is now commercially available from Clontech Laboratories (Palo Alto, CA) under the name 3'-Amine on. It is also commercially available under the name 3'-Amino-Modifier reagent from Glen Research Corporation (Sterling, VA). This reagent was also utilized to link a peptide to an oligonucleotide as reported by Judy et al. (Tetrahedron Letters, 1991, 32:879). A similar commercial reagent (actually a series of such linkers having various lengths of polymethylene connectors) for linking to the 5'-terminus of an oligonucleotide is 5'-Amino-Modifier C6. These reagents are available from Glen Research Corporation (Sterling, VA).
These compounds or similar ones were utilized by Krieg et al. (Antisense Research and Development, 1991, 1:161) to link fluorescein to the 5'-terminus of an oligonucleotide.
Other compounds of interest have also been linked to the 3'-terminus of an oligonucleotide. Asseline et al. (Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1984, 81:3297) describe linking acridine on the 3'-terminal phosphate group of an poly (Tp) oligonucleotide via a polymethylene linkage. Haralambidis et al. (Tetrahedron Letters, 1987, 28:5199) report building a peptide on a solid state support and then linking an oligonucleotide to that peptide via the 3' hydroxyl group of the 3' terminal nucleotide of the oligonucleotide. Chollet (Nucleosides & Nucleotides, 1990, 9:957) attached an Aminolink 2 (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) to the 5' terminal phosphate of an oligonucleotide. The bifunctional linking group SMPB (Pierce Chemical Co., Rockford, I1) was then used to link an interleukin protein to the oligonucleotide.
Conjugation of lipids, reporters, peptides and other molecules to oligonucleotides is not limited to the terminal 3' and 5'-positions. A wide variety of conjugates have also been reported in the literature wherein attachment is performed at any one or more of the 2'-positions on the nucleotide building blocks of the oligonucleotide. Further conjugates have also been reported wherein attachment occurs on the internucleotide linkage or on one of the atoms of the nucleobase of any one of the nucleotide units of the oligonucleotide. For example, an EDTA iron complex has been linked to the 5 position of a pyrimidine nucleoside as reported by Dreyer and Dervan (Pros. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1985, 82:968). Fluorescein has been linked to an oligonucleotide in the same manner as reported by Haralambidis et al. (Nucleic Acid Research, 1987, 15:4857) and biotin in the same manner as described in PCT
application PCT/US/02198. Fluorescein, biotin and pyrene were also linked in the same manner as reported by Telser et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1989, 111:6966). A commercial reagent, Amino-Modifier-dT, from Glen Research Corporation (Sterling, VA) can be utilized to introduce pyrimidine nucleotides bearing similar linking groups into oligonucleotides.
Manoharan et al. (PCT Application WO 93/07883) have also reported the conjugation of oligonucleotides with a variety of molecules such as steroids, reporter molecules, reporter enzymes, vitamins, non-aromatic lipophilic molecules, chelators, porphyrins, intercalators, peptides and proteins through the intermediacy of varied linking groups, such as 6-aminoalkoxy and 6-aminoalkylamino groups.
Conjugation has been reported at the 3'-, 5'-, 2'-, internucleotide linkage and nucleobase positions of oligonucleotides. Such oligonucleotide conjugates are expected to have improved physicochemical properties that facilitated their uptake and delivery into cells as demonstrated by in vitro experiments. The intracellular and intranuclear delivery of nucleic acids and oligonucleotides, however, is still a challenge. Most often, penetration of heretofore reported oligonucleotide conjugates has been found to be limited. This has typically been a problem because such conjugates have generally been designed to improve the passive absorption of the oligonucleotides where the size, physicochemical properties and extracellular concentration of the conjugate play important limiting roles. This coupled with the limited extracellular stability of nucleic acids and oligonucleotid.es demands the development of novel conjugates that will deliver higher levels of nucleic acids and oligonucleotides into specific tissues and targeted cells.
Albumin is the most abundant protein in mammalian systems, and plays an important role in the transport and deposition of drug substances in blood. It is generally accepted that there are two major specific drug binding sites, site I and site II on human albumin. X-ray studies of crystalline human albumin (He and Carter, Nature, 1992, 358:209-215) indicate that site I and site II are located within specialized cavities in subdomain IIA and IIIA, respectively.
Interaction of oligonucleotides with proteins play an important role in absorption, distribution and pharmacokinetics. In the bloodstream, the major oligonucleotide binding protiens are immunoglobulins M and G, serum albumin, and orosomucoid a-1-acid glycoprotein (AAG). The role of plasma protein binding is an important factor in oligonucleotide disposition and efficacy. If protein binding of oligonucleotides can be modulated with small molecular conjugation, it will result in more efficacious oligonucleotide drugs.
Albumin is a water-soluble protein with a molecular weight of 66,500 comprising a single chain of 585 amino _8_ acids containing a single tryptophan (Trp-214), low (20) glycine content, high cystine content and a large number of charged amino acids (about 100 negative charges and 100 positive charges) and has an isoelectric point of about pH
5Ø Thus, at a plasma pH of 7.4, it has a net negative charge of -15. Nonetheless, it attracts both anions and cations. It circulates at a concentration of 3.5-5 g/100 mL
in blood plasma and also exists at lower concentrations in extravascular fluids. About 600 of all human serum albumin (HSA) is located in the extravascular space (.Peters, Adv.
Protein Chem., 1985, 37:161). As the most abundant protein in plasma, HSA plays an important role in the maintenance of blood pH and colloidal osmotic pressure and accounts for most of the thiol content of plasma (Cys-34). Binding of drugs to albumin is usually rapidly reversible. The binding (association) constants are typically in the range of 104 to 106 M-1. HSA is organized in a series of three repeating domains (I, II and III) each having two subdomains. Ligands bind to HSA generally to one or both of two binding sites.
Site I is associated with the ligands warfarin, phenyl butazone. This site is localized in subdomain IIA. Site II
is in subdomain IIIA and binds to diazepam and ibuprofen.
Other ibuprofen analogs suprofen, pranoprofen, carprofen, fenbufen and ketoprofen, which are all non-steroidal antiinflammatory agents bind to site II. Flufenamic acid and dansylsarcosine bind to site II while dansylamide bind to site I. Barbiturates such as quinalbarbitone interact with site II and the antidiabetic tolbutamide binds to site I, site II and an unidentified site. (R)-Folinic acid binds to both sites. Other compounds that bind to HSA include thiadiazides, diazepines, and antibacterials (e. g., nalidixic acid).
Lipoproteins can contribute to the plasma binding of lipophilic drugs and dissolve in lipid core of the _g_ lipoproteins. Cholesterol conjugated oligonucleotides are known to bind to serum proteins. Agrawal et al., ("Effect of aspirin on protein binding and tissue disposition of oligonucleotide phosphorothioate in rats," Journal of Drug Targeting, 1998, 5:303-313) describe the effect of co-administration of aspirin at a concentration of 2 mg/mL and demonstrate that the P=S oligonucleotide binding to serum albumin is reduced (as measured by o protein bound of P=S
oligonucleotide). This result indicates that presence of aspirin in the body or similar small molecule drugs could effectively alter protein binding of P=S oligonucleotides in V1 V0.
Pharmacokinetic studies of P=S oligonucleotide (GEM-91, 25-mer phosphorothioate oligonucleotide) in rats were determined after bolus injection. One hour before administration of the drug, aspirin is administered by gavage. When P=S oligonucleotide was administered following aspirin administration in rats the following the plasma pharmacokinetic parameters (t1,2 a, t1,2 ~, AUC, etc. ) were lower. The tissue disposition was significantly different in that the majority of tissues. e.g. kidney, liver, spleen, bone marrow, skin, thyroid, adrenal, heart, lung, and pancreas, had lower concentrations, and gastrointestinal tissues and contents had a higher concentration. In certain tissues, e.g. liver and bone marrow, the concentration of P=S oligonucleotide which was administered following aspirin administration was about half of that observed following administration of P=S oligonucleotide alone. It was seen that the rate of elimination was affected in animals compared to rats receiving P=S oligonucleotide alone. A
higher concentration of excreted oligonucleotide in feces from rats receiving P=S oligonucleotide following aspirin was observed compared to rats receiving P=S oligonucleotide alone. However, the effect of attaching small molecule drugs to the oligonucleotide to modulate serum albumin binding has not been studied.
Therefore, there is a clear need for oligonucleotide conjugates having improved distribution and cellular uptake and methods for their preparation, that address the shortcomings of oligonucleotide conjugates as described above. The present invention is directed to this very important end.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention provides methods of improving the pharmacokinetic properties of oligonucleotides. The invention further provides ligand conjugated oligomeric compounds having improved pharmacokinetic properties and methods for their preparation. Such oligomeric compounds are prepared having covalently attached ligands that bind reversibly to one or more serum, vascular or cellular proteins. This reversible binding is expected to decrease urinary excretion, increase serum half life and greatly increase the distribution of oligomeric compounds thus conjugated. The binding of particular drugs to plasma protein has been previously shown to enhance the disposition and efficacy of drugs (Herve et al., Clin. Pharmacokinet., 1994, 26:44).
The therapeutic effect of an antisense oligonucleotide is realized when it interacts with a specific cellular nucleic acid and effectively negates its function. A
preferred target is mRNA encoding a protein that is responsible for a disease state. To reach a target nucleic acid after administration, an antisense agent should be able to overcome inherent factors such as rapid degradation in serum, short half life in serum and rapid filtration by the kidneys with subsequent excretion in the urine.
Oligonucleotides that overcome these inherent factors have increased serum half lives, distribution, cellular uptake and hence improved efficacy. These enhanced pharmacokinetic parameters have been shown for selected drug molecules that bind plasma proteins (Olson and Christ, Annual Reports in Medicinal Chemistry, 1996, 31:327). Two proteins that have been studied more than most are human serum albumin (HSA) and a-1-acid glycoprotein. HSA binds a variety of endogenous and exogenous ligands with association constants typically in the range of 10~ to 106 M-1. Association constants for ligands with a-1-acid glycoprotein are similar to those for HSA.
At least for therapeutic purposes, antisense oligonucleotides should have a degree of stability in serum to allow distribution and cellular uptake. The prolonged maintenance of therapeutic levels of antisense agents in serum will have a significant effect on the distribution and cellular uptake and unlike conjugate groups that target specific cell receptors the increased serum stability will effect all cells. Numerous efforts have focused on increasing the cellular uptake of oligonucleotides including increasing the membrane permeability via conjugates and cellular delivery of oligonucleotides.
Many drugs reversibly bind to plasma proteins. A
representative list, which is not meant to be inclusive, includes: aspirin, warfarin, phenylbutazone, ibuprofen, suprofen, fenbufen, ketoprofen, (S)-(+)-pranoprofen, carprofen, dansylsarcosine, 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid, flufenamic acid, folinic acid, benzothiadiazides, chlorothiazide, diazepines (such as for example fludiazepam and diazepam) indomethicin, barbiturates (such as for example quinalbarbitone), cephalosporins, sulfa drugs, antidiabetics (such as for example tollbutamide), antibacterials (such as for example a group of quinolones;
nalidixic acid and cinoxacin) and several antibiotics.
Serum albumin is the most important protein among all plasma proteins for drug binding, although binding to other proteins (for example, macroglobulin G2, immunoglobulins, lipoproteins, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, thrombin) is also important.
Ligands that bind serum, vascular or cellular proteins may be attached via an optional linking moiety to one or more sites on an oligonucleotide of the invention. These sites include one or more of, but are not limited to, the 2'-position, 3'-position, 5'-position, the internucleotide linkage, and a nucleobase atom of any nucleotide residue.
The attachment of ligands to such structures can be performed, according to some preferred embodiments of the invention, using a linking group, or without the use of such a linking group.
In some preferred embodiments of the invention, one or more protein binding ligands are attached to an oligonucleotide via linking groups, to form a ligand conjugated oligonucleotide. Preferred linking groups of the invention include, but are not limited to, 6-aminoalkoxy linkers, 6-aminoalkylamino linkers, cysteamine, heterobi-functional linkers, homobifunctional linkers, and a universal linker (derived from 3-dimethoxytrityloxy-2-aminopropanol). A particularly preferred linking group for the synthesis of ligand conjugated oligonucleotides of the invention is a 6-aminohexyloxy group. A variety of heterobifunctional and homobifunctional linking moieties are available from Pierce Co. (Rockford, IL). Such heterobifunctional and homobifunctional linking moieties are particularly useful in conjunction with the 6-aminoalkoxy and 6-aminoalkylamino moieties to form extended linkers useful for linking ligands to a nucleoside. Further useful linking groups that are commercially available are 5'-Amino-Modifier C6 and 3'-Amino-Modifier reagents, both available from Glen Research Corporation (Sterling, VA). 5'-Amino-Modifier C6 is also available from ABI (Applied Biosystems Inc., Foster City, CA) as Aminolink-2, while the 3'-Amino-Modifier is also available from Clontech Laboratories Inc.
(Palo Alto, CA). In addition, a nucleotide analog bearing a linking group pre-attached to the nucleoside is commercially available from Glen Research Corporation under the tradename "Amino-Modifier-dT." This nucleoside-linking group reagent, a uridine derivative having an [N(7-trifluoroacetylamino-heptyl)3-acrylamido] substituent group at the 5 position of the pyrimidine ring, is synthesized as per the procedure of Jablonski et al. (Nucleic Acid Research, 1986, 14:6115).
The present invention also includes as nucleoside analogs adenine nucleosides functionalized to include a linker on the N6 purine amino group, guanine nucleosides functionalized to include a linker at the exocyclic N2 purine amino group, and cytosine nucleosides functionalized to include a linker on either the N4 pyrimidine amino group or the 5 pyrimidine position. Such nucleoside analogs are incorporated into oligonucleotides with a ligand attached to the linker either pre- or post-oligomerization.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention ligand molecules are selected for conjugation to oligonucleotides on the basis of their affinity for one or more proteins. These proteins may be serum, vascular or cellular proteins. Serum proteins are proteins that are present in the fluid portion of the blood, obtained after coagulation and removal of the fibrin clot and blood cells, as distinguished from the plasma in circulating blood.
Vascular proteins are proteins that are present in portions of the vascular system relating to or containing blood vessels. Cellular proteins are membrane proteins which have at least a portion of the protein extending extracellularly and assisting in the process of endocytosis.
Many ligands having an affinity for proteins are well documented in the literature and are amenable to the present invention. A preferred group of ligands are small molecules including drug moieties. According to the present invention, drug moieties include, but are not limited to, warfarin and coumarins including substituted coumarins, isocoumarin derivatives, 7-anilinocoumarin-4-acetic acid, profens including ibuprofen, enantiomers of ibuprofen (r-ibuprofen and s,-ibuprofen), ibuprofen analogs, ketoprofen, carprofen, etodolac, suprofen, indoprofen, fenbufen, arylpropionic acids, arylalkanoic acids, 2-aryl-2-fluoro-propionic acids, glibenclamide, acetohexamide, arylalkanoic acids, tolbutamide, gliclazide, metformin, curcumin, digitoxin, digoxin, diazepam, benzothiadiazides, chlorothiazide, diazepines, benzodiazepines, naproxen, phenyl butazone, oxyphenbutazone, dansyl amide, dansylsarcosine, 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid, palmitic acid, aspirin, salicylates, substituted salicylates, penicillin, flurbiprofen, pirprofin, oxaprozin, flufenamic acid, deoxycholic acid, glycyrrhizin, azathioprine, butibufen, ibufenac, 5-fluoro-1-typtaphan, 5-fluoro-salicylic, acidazapropanazone, mefenamic acid, indomethacin, flufenamic acid, bilirubin, ibuprofen, lysine complexes, diphenyl, hydantoin, valproic acid, tolmetin, barbiturates (such as, for example, quinalbarbitone), cephalosporins, sulfa drugs, antidiabetics (such as, for example, tollbutamide), antibacterials (such as, for example, quinolones, nalidixic acid and cinoxacin) and several antibiotics.
In one embodiment of the present invention the drug moiety bears a carboxylic acid group. In another embodiment of the present invention the drug moiety is a propionic acid derivative.
In another preferred embodiment, the drug moiety is an arylpropionic acid of the formula:
I
R~-C-COOH
I
H
wherein:
one of R1 and R2 is C1 to C12 alkyl and the other of R1 and R2 is aryl; or both R1 and R2 are C1 to C1~ alkyl; or both R1 and R2 are aryl.
In preferred embodiments, the aryl group may be substituted or unsubstituted benzyl, phenyl, xylyl, naphthyl, toluyl, pyrenyl, anthracyl, phenanthryl, azulyl, phenethyl, cinnamyl, benzhydryl, and mesityl wherein said substituents are hydroxyl, alkyl, alkoxy, alcohol, benzyl, phenyl, nitro, thiol, thioalkoxy, halogen, or alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, or alkynyl groups.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention the protein targeted by a ligand conjugated oligomeric compound is a serum protein. It is preferred that the serum protein targeted by a conjugated oligomeric compound is an immunoglobulin (an antibody). Preferred immunoglobulins are immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M. Immunoglobulins are known to appear in blood serum and tissues of vertebrate animals.
In another embodiment of the invention the serum protein targeted by a conjugated oligomeric compound is a lipoprotein.
Lipoproteins are blood proteins having molecular weights generally above 20,000 that carry lipids and are recognized by specific cell surface receptors. The association with lipoproteins in the serum will initially increase pharmacokinetic parameters such as half life and distribution.
A secondary consideration is the ability of lipoproteins to enhance cellular uptake via receptor-mediated endocytosis.
In yet another embodiment the serum protein targeted by a ligand conjugated oligomeric compound is a-2-macroglobulin.
In yet a further embodiment the serum protein targeted by a ligand conjugated oligomeric compound is a-1-glycoprotein.
As used herein, the term "protected" means that the indicated moiety has a protecting group appended thereon. In some preferred embodiments of the invention compounds contain one or more protecting groups. A wide variety of protecting groups can be employed in the methods of the invention. In general, protecting groups render chemical functionalities inert to specific reaction conditions, and can be appended to and removed from such functionalities in a molecule without substantially damaging the remainder of the molecule.
Representative hydroxyl protecting groups, for example, are disclosed by Beaucage et al. (Tetrahedron, 1992, 48:2223 2311). Further hydroxyl protecting groups, as well as other representative protecting groups, are disclosed in Greene and Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Chapter 2, 2d ed., John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1991, and Oligonucleotides And Analogues A Practical Approach, Ekstein, F. Ed., IRL Press, N.Y, 1991, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Examples of hydroxyl protecting groups include, but are not limited to, t-butyl, t-butoxymethyl, methoxymethyl, tetrahydropyranyl, 1-ethoxyethyl, 1-(2-chloroethoxy)ethyl, 2-trimethylsilylethyl, p-chlorophenyl, 2,4-dinitrophenyl, benzyl, 2,6-dichlorobenzyl, diphenylmethyl, p,p'-dinitrobenzhydryl, p-nitrobenzyl, triphenylmethyl, trimethylsilyl, triethylsilyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl, t-butyldiphenylsilyl, triphenylsilyl, benzoylformate, acetate, chloroacetate, trichloroacetate, trifluoroacetate, pivaloate, benzoate, p-phenylbenzoate, 9-fluorenylmethyl carbonate, mesylate and tosylate.
Amino-protecting groups stable to acid treatment are selectively removed with base treatment, and are used to make reactive amino groups selectively available for substitution.
Examples of such groups are the Fmoc (E. Atherton and R.C.
Sheppard in The Peptides, S. Udenfriend, J. Meienhofer, Eds., Academic Press, Orlando, 1987, volume 9, p.1) and various substituted sulfonylethyl carbamates exemplified by the Nsc group (Samukov et al., Tetrahedron Lett, 1994, 35:7821;
Verhart and Tesser, Rec. Trav. Chim. Pays-Bas, 1987, 107:621).
Additional amino-protecting groups include, but are not limited to, carbamate-protecting groups, such as 2 trimethylsilylethoxycarbonyl (Teoc), 1-methyl-1-(4 biphenylyl)ethoxycarbonyl (Bpoc), t-butoxycarbonyl (BOC), allyloxycarbonyl (Alloc), 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc), and benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz); amide-protecting groups, such as formyl, acetyl, trihaloacetyl, benzoyl, and nitrophenylacetyl;
sulfonamide-protecting groups, such as 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl;
and imine- and cyclic imide-protecting groups, such as phthalimido and dithiasuccinoyl. Equivalents of these amino-protecting groups are also encompassed by the compounds and methods of the present invention.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention oligonucleotides are provided including a number of linked nucleosides wherein at least one of the nucleosides is a 2' functionalized nucleoside having a ligand molecule linked to the 2'-position of the nucleoside; a heterocyclic base functionalized nucleoside having a ligand molecule linked to the heterocyclic base of the nucleoside, a 5' terminal nucleoside having a ligand molecule linked to the 5'-position of the nucleoside, a 3' terminal nucleoside having a ligand molecule linked to the 3'-position of the nucleoside, or an inter-strand nucleoside having a ligand molecule linked to an inter-stand linkage linking said inter-strand nucleoside to an adjacent nucleoside.
Ligand conjugated oligonucleotides of the invention may be synthesized by the use of an oligonucleotide that bears a pendant reactive functionality such as that derived from the attachment of a linking molecule onto the oligonucleotide.
This reactive oligonucleotide may be reacted directly with commercially available ligands, ligands that are synthesized bearing a variety of protecting groups, or ligands that have a linking moiety attached thereto. The methods of the present invention facilitate the synthesis of ligand conjugated oligonucleotides by the use of, in some preferred embodiments, nucleoside monomers that have been appropriately conjugated with ligands and that may further be attached to a solid support material. Such ligand-nucleoside conjugates optionally attached to a solid support material are prepared according to some preferred embodiments of the methods of the present invention via reaction of a selected serum binding ligand with a linking moiety located on a 2', 3', or 5' position of a nucleoside or oligonucleotide.
The present invention provides methods for increasing the concentration of an oligonucleotide in serum. According to such methods, a drug moiety that is known to bind to a serum protein is selected and conjugated to an oligonucleotide, thus forming a conjugated oligonucleotide. This conjugated oligonucleotide is then added to the serum.
The present invention further provides methods for increasing the capacity of serum for an oligonucleotide.
According to such methods, a drug moiety that is known to bind to a serum protein is selected and conjugated to an oligonucleotide, thus forming a conjugated oligonucleotide.
This conjugated oligonucleotide is then added to the serum.
The present invention also provides methods for increasing the binding of an oligonucleotide to a portion of the vascular system. According to such methods, a drug moiety that is known to bind to a vascular protein is selected. The vascular protein selected is a protein which resides, in part, in the circulating serum and, in part, in the non-circulating portion of the vascular system. This drug moiety is conjugated to an oligonucleotide to form a conjugated oligonucleotide, which is then added to the vascular system.
The present invention further provides methods for promoting the cellular uptake of an oligonucleotide in a cell.
According to such methods, a cellular protein is selected.
This cellular protein is a protein that resides on the cellular membrane and extends, in part, extracellularly so that part of this cellular protein extends onto the external side of the cellular membrane. Next, a drug moiety that is known to bind to the cellular protein is selected and conjugated to an oligonucleotide to form a conjugated oligonucleotide. This conjugated oligonucleotide is then brought into contact with cells in which cellular uptake of the oligonucleotide is to be promoted.
The present invention also provides methods of increasing cellular uptake of an oligonucleotide comprising contacting an organism with an oligonucleotide of the invention, said oligonucleotide being conjugated to a ligand.
Ligand conjugated oligomeric compounds of the present invention can be included in compositions that further include one or more inert carrier compounds.
Antisense therapeutics can be practiced in a plethora of various organisms ranging from unicellular prokaryotic and eu-karyotic organisms to multicellular eukaryotic organisms. Any organism that utilizes DNA-RNA transcription or RNA-protein translation as a fundamental part of its hereditary, metabolic or cellular control is susceptible to antisense therapeutics and/or prophylactics. Seemingly diverse organisms such as bacteria, yeast, protozoa, algae, all plant and all higher animal forms, including warm-blooded animals, can be treated by antisense therapy. Further, since each of the cells of multicellular eukaryotes also includes both DNA-RNA
transcription and RNA-protein translation as an integral part of its cellular activity, antisense therapeutics and/or diagnostics can also be practiced on such cellular populations.
Furthermore, many of the organelles, e.g. mitochondria and chloroplasts, of eukaryotic cells also include transcription and translation mechanisms. As such, single cells, cellular populations or organelles can also be included within the definition of organisms that are capable of being treated with antisense therapeutics or diagnostics. As used herein, therapeutics is meant to include both the eradication of a disease state, killing of an organism, e.g. bacterial, protozoan or other infection, or control of erratic or harmful cellular growth or expression.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention a ligand having an affinity for a serum protein is attached to at least one nucleoside in an antisense diagnostic or therapeutic agent to enhance the pharmacokinetic properties of the antisense therapeutic or diagnostic agent. Such improved pharmacokinetic properties include, but are not limited to, increased binding of the antisense compound to serum proteins, increased plasma concentration of the antisense compound, increased tissue distribution, increased capacity of binding of the antisense compound to serum proteins and increased half-lives. Such an antisense diagnostic or therapeutic agent is preferably a nucleic acid or oligonucleotide formed of a plurality of linked nucleosides of a sequence that are "antisense" to a region of an RNA or DNA of interest. The nucleosides are linked by phosphorus-containing or non-phosphorus-containing covalent internucleoside linkages. One or more nucleosides of the oligonucleotide are conjugated to include a ligand molecule bound to the nucleoside with or without a linking group. For the purposes of identification, such conjugated nucleosides can be characterized as ligand bearing nucleosides or ligand-nucleoside conjugates. The linked nucleosides having at least one conjugated nucleoside within their sequence will demonstrate enhanced antisense activity when compared to like linked nucleoside or oligonucleotides of the same sequence that are not conjugated.
The ligand conjugated oligonucleotides of the present invention also include conjugates of oligonucleotides and linked nucleosides wherein the ligand is attached directly onto the nucleoside or nucleotide without the intermediacy of a linker group. This attachment of ligand may be performed at either one or more of the 2'-, 3'-, 5'-, nucleobase or internucleoside linkage positions of the oligonucleotide or linked nucleosides of the invention. Ligands may preferably be attached, via linking groups, at a carboxyl, amino or oxo groups of the ligand. Typical linking groups may be ester, amide or carbamate groups.
In the context of this invention, the terms "oligomer" and "oligomeric compound" refer not only to a plurality of naturally-occurring or non-naturally-occurring nucleosides joined together in a specific sequence but are further inclusive of all types of oligomeric compounds currently known in the art such as oligonucleotide analogs, peptide nucleic acids and locked nucleic acids where the sugar is involved in locking the conformation. Many diverse motifs are currently known for improving the desired effect for the specific target that the oligomeric compound is aimed at such as for example chimeric oligomeric compounds where there are more than one type of internucleoside linkages dividing the oligomeric compound into regions. Oligomeric compounds are typically structurally distinguishable from, yet functionally inter-changeable with, naturally-occurring or synthetic wild-type oligonucleotides. Thus, oligomeric compounds include all such structures which function effectively to mimic the structure and/or function of a desired RNA or DNA strand, for example, by hybridizing to a target. Whereas the term "oligonucleotide"
has a well defined meaning in the art, the term "oligomeric compound" or "oligomer" is intended to be broader, inclusive of oligomers having all manner of modifications known in the art. Gapped or chimeric compounds are disclosed in for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,623,065, issued April 22, 1997, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Another modification that is used to prepare oligomeric compounds amenable to the present invention includes LNA's (locked nucleic acid) which are novel conformationally restricted oligonucleotide analogs containing 2'-0,4'-C
methylene LNA nucleoside monomers. LNA and LNA analogs display very high duplex thermal stabilities with complementary DNA and RNA (Tm = +3 to +10 C), stability towards 3'-exonucleolytic degradation, and good solubility properties (see for example:
LNA (locked nucleic acids, synthesis and high-affinity nucleic acid recognition, Singh et al., Dep. Chem., Univ.
Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Den. Chem. Commun., (Cambridge) (1998), (4), 455-456. A novel class of nucleic acid analogs, termed LNA (locked nucleic acids), is introduced. Following the Watson-Crick base pairing rules, LNA forms duplexes with complementary DNA and RNA with remarkably increased thermal stabilities and generally improved selectivity.
Synthesis of the adenine, cytosine, guanine, 5-methyl-cytosine, thymine and uracil bicyclonucleoside monomers, oligomerization, and nucleic acid recognition properties have been described (see Koshkin et al., Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Den. Tetrahedron (1998), 54(14), 3607-3630. LNA monomers, have been synthesized and their nucleic acid recognition potential evaluated for six different nucleobases, namely adenine, cytosine, guanine, 5 methylcytosine, thymine and uracil. Studies of mis-matched sequences show that LNA obey the Watson-Crick base pairing rules with generally improved selectivity compared to the corresponding unmodified reference strands.
Potent and nontoxic antisense oligonucleotides containing locked nucleic acids have been described (Wahlestedt et al., Center for Genomics Research, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Swed., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. (2000), 97(10), 5633-5638. ) The authors have demonstrated locked nucleic acid (LNA) , confers several desired properties to antisense agents.
LNA/DNA copolymers were not degraded readily in blood serum and cell extracts. LNA/DNA copolymers exhibited potent antisense activity on assay systems as disparate as a G-protein-coupled receptor in living rat brain and an Escherichia coli reporter gene.
The conformations of locked nucleic acids (LNA) has been determined by Petersen et al., Department of Chemistry, University of Southern Denmark, Odense University, Odense, Den., J. Mol. Recognit., (2000), 13(1), 44-53. The authors have used 2D NMR spectroscopy to show that the locked conformation of the LNA nucleotides both in ssLNA and in the duplexes organize the phosphate backbone in such a way as to introduce higher population of the N-type conformation. These conformational changes are associated with an improved stacking of the nucleobases.
LNA properties have been described by Wengel et al., Center For Synthetic Bioorganic Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Den.
_29_ Nucleosides Nucleotides (1999), 18(6 & 7), 1365-1370.
LNA forms duplexes with complementary DNA, RNA or LNA with high thermal affinities. CD spectra show that duplexes involving fully modified LNA (esp. LNA:RNA) structurally resemble an A-form RNA:RNA duplex. NMR examination of an LNA:DNA duplex confirm the 3'-endo conformation of an LNA
monomer. Recognition of double-stranded DNA is demonstrated suggesting strand invasion by LNA. Lipofectin-mediated efficient delivery of LNA into living human breast cancer cells has been accomplished.

LNA has been shown to form exceedingly stable LNA:LNA

Synthesis of 2'-amino-LNA, a novel conformationally restricted high-affinity oligonucleotide analog with a Handle has been shown (see Singh et al., Center for Synthetic Bioorganic Chemistry Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Den.

J. Org. Chem. (1998), 63(18), 6078-6079.) The present invention employs oligonucleotides for use in antisense modulation of the function of DNA or messenger RNA
(mRNA) encoding a protein the modulation of which is desired, and ultimately to regulate the amount of such a protein.
Hybridization of an antisense oligonucleotide with its mRNA
target interferes with the normal role of mRNA and causes a modulation of its function in cells. The functions of mRNA to be interfered with include all vital functions such as translocation of the RNA to the site for protein translation, actual translation of protein from the RNA, splicing of the RNA
to yield one or more mRNA species, turnover or degradation of the mRNA and possibly even independent catalytic activity which may be engaged in by the RNA. The overall effect of such interference with mRNA function is modulation of the expression of a protein, wherein "modulation" means either an increase (stimulation) or a decrease (inhibition) in the expression of the protein. In the context of the present invention, inhibition is the preferred form of modulation of gene expression.
In the context of this invention, the term "oligonucleotide" refers to an oligomer or polymer of ribonucleic acid or deoxyribonucleic acid. This term includes oligonucleotides composed of naturally-occurring nucleobases, sugars and covalent intersugar (backbone) linkages as well as modified oligonucleotides having non-naturally-occurring portions which function similarly. Such modified or substituted oligonucleotides are often preferred over native forms because of desirable properties such as, for example, enhanced cellular uptake, enhanced binding to target and increased stability in the presence of nucleases. The oligonucleotides of the present invention preferably comprise from about 5 to about 50 nucleosides. It is more preferred that such oligonucleotides comprise from about 8 to about 30 nucleosides, with 15 to 25 nucleosides being particularly preferred.
An oligonucleotide is a polymer of repeating units generically known as nucleotides or nucleosides. An unmodified (naturally occurring) nucleotide has three components: (1) a nitrogenous base linked by one of its nitrogen atoms to (2) a 5-carbon cyclic sugar and ( 3 ) a phosphate, esterified to carbon 5 of the sugar. When incorporated into an oligonucleotide chain, the phosphate of a first nucleotide is also esterified to carbon 3 of the sugar of a second, adjacent nucleotide. The "backbone" of an unmodified oligonucleotide consists of (2) and (3) , that is, sugars linked together by phosphodiester linkages between the C5 (5' ) position of the sugar of a first nucleotide and the C3 (3') position of a second, adjacent nucleotide. A
"nucleoside" is the combination of (1) a nucleobase and (2) a sugar in the absence of a phosphate moiety (Kornberg, DNA
Replication, W.H. Freeman & Co., San Francisco, 1980, pages 4-'7). The backbone of an oligonucleotide positions a series of bases in a specific order; the written representation of this series of bases, which is conventionally written in 5' to 3' order, is known as a nucleotide sequence.
Oligonucleotides may comprise nucleoside or nucleotide sequences sufficient in identity and number to effect specific hybridization with a particular nucleic acid. Such oligonucleotides which specifically hybridize to a portion of the sense strand of a gene are commonly described as "antisense." In the context of the invention, "hybridization"
means hydrogen bonding, which may be Watson-Crick, Hoogsteen or reversed Hoogsteen hydrogen bonding, between complementary nucleosides or nucleotides. For example, adenine and thymine are complementary nucleobases which pair through the formation of hydrogen bonds. "Complementary," as used herein, refers to the capacity for precise pairing between two nucleotides. For example, if a nucleotide at a certain position of an oligonucleotide is capable of hydrogen bonding with a nucleotide at the same position of a DNA or RNA molecule, then the oligonucleotide and the DNA or RNA are considered to be complementary to each other at that position. The oligonucleo-tide and the DNA or RNA are complementary to each other when a sufficient number of corresponding positions in each molecule are occupied by nucleotides which can hydrogen bond with each other. Thus, "specifically hybridizable" and "complementary"
are terms which are used to indicate a sufficient degree of complementarity or precise pairing such that stable and specific binding occurs between the oligonucleotide and the DNA
or RNA target. It is understood in the art that an oligonucleotide need not be 1000 complementary to its target DNA sequence to be specifically hybridizable. An oligonucleotide is specifically hybridizable when binding of the oligonucleotide to the target DNA or RNA molecule interferes with the normal function of the target DNA or RNA
to cause a decrease or loss of function, and there is a sufficient degree of complementarity to avoid non-specific binding of the oligonucleotide to non-target sequences under conditions in which specific binding is desired, i.e., under physiological conditions in the case of in vivo assays or therapeutic treatment, or in the case of in vitro assays, under conditions in which the assays are performed.
Antisense oligonucleotides are commonly used as research reagents, diagnostic aids, and therapeutic agents. For example, antisense oligonucleotides, which are able to inhibit gene expression with exquisite specificity, are often used by those of ordinary skill to elucidate the function of particular genes, for example to distinguish between the functions of various members of a biological pathway. This specific inhibitory effect has, therefore, been harnessed by those skilled in the art for research uses. Antisense oligonucleotides have also been used as diagnostic aids based on their specific binding or hybridization to DNA or mRNA that are present in certain disease states and due to the high degree of sensitivity that hybridization based assays and amplified assays that utilize some of polymerase chain reaction afford. The specificity and sensitivity of oligonucleotides is also harnessed by those of skill in the art for therapeutic uses. For example, the following U.S. patents demonstrate palliative, therapeutic and other methods utilizing antisense oligonucleotides. U. S. Patent No. 5,135,917 provides antisense oligonucleotides that inhibit human interleukin-1 receptor expression. U.S. Patent No. 5,098,890 is directed to antisense oligonucleotides complementary to the c-myb oncogene and antisense oligonucleotide therapies for certain cancerous conditions. U.S. Patent No. 5,087,617 provides methods for treating cancer patients with antisense oligonucleotides. U.S.
Patent No. 5,166,195 provides oligonucleotide inhibitors of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). U.S. Patent No. 5,004,810 provides oligomers capable of hybridizing to herpes simplex virus Vmw65 mRNA and inhibiting replication. U.S. Patent No.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to ligand-conjugated oligomeric compounds which bind to protein molecules and possess enhanced pharmacokinetic properties. The present invention further relates to methods for increasing the concentration of oligomeric compounds in serum and methods for promoting the cellular uptake of oligomeric compounds in cells.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Protein synthesis is directed by nucleic acids through the intermediacy of messenger RNA (mRNA). Antisense methodology is the complementary hybridization of relatively short oligonucleotides to mRNA or DNA such that the normal, essential functions, such as protein synthesis, of these intracellular nucleic acids are disrupted. Hybridization is the sequence-specific hydrogen bonding via Watson-Crick base pairs of oligonucleotides to RNA or single-stranded DNA.
Such base pairs are said to be complementary to one another.
The naturally-occurring events that provide the disruption of the nucleic acid function, discussed by Cohen (Oligonucleotides: Antisense Inhibitors of Gene Expression, CRC Press, Inc., 1989, Boca Raton, Fl.) are thought to be of _2_ two types. The first, hybridization arrest, describes the terminating event in which the oligonucleotide inhibitor binds to the target nucleic acid and thus prevents, by simple steric hindrance, the binding of essential proteins, most often ribosomes, to the nucleic acid. Methyl phosphonate oligonucleotides (Miller et a1. (1987) Anti-cancer Drug Design, 2:117-128), and a-anomer oligonucleotides are the two most extensively studied antisense agents which are thought to disrupt nucleic acid function by hybridization arrest.
Another means by which antisense oligonucleotides disrupt nucleic acid function is by hybridization to a target mRNA, followed by enzymatic cleavage of the targeted RNA by intracellular RNase H. A 2'-deoxyribofuranosyl oligonucleotide or oligonucleotide analog hybridizes with the targeted RNA and this duplex activates the RNase H
enzyme to cleave the RNA strand, thus destroying the normal function of the RNA. Phosphorothioate oligonucleotides are the most prominent example of an antisense agent that operates by this type of antisense terminating event.
Considerable research is being directed to the application of oligonucleotides and oligonucleotide analogs as antisense agents for diagnostics, research applications and potential therapeutic purposes. One of the major hurdles that has only partially been overcome in vivo is efficient cellular uptake which is severely hampered by the rapid degradation and excretion of oligonucleotides. The generally accepted process of cellular uptake is by receptor-mediated endocytosis which is dependent on the temperature and concentration of the oligonucleotides in serum and extra vascular fluids.
Efforts aimed at improving the transmembrane delivery of nucleic acids and oligonucleotides have utilized protein carriers, antibody carriers, liposomal delivery systems, electroporation, direct injection, cell fusion, viral vectors, and calcium phosphate-mediated transformation.
However, many of these techniques are limited by the types of cells in which transmembrane transport is enabled and by the conditions needed for achieving such transport. An alternative that is particularly attractive for the transmembrane delivery of oligonucleotides is modification of the physicochemical properties of oligonucleotides via conjugation to a molecule that facilitates transport.
Another alternative is to increase the stability of oligonucleotides in serum, thereby increasing their concentration and distribution.
It has been previously reported that oligonucleotides modified with a 4-[(N-2-chloroethyl-N-methyl)amino]benzylamine reactive functionality at a 5'-phosphate position react with albumin and immunoglobulins M
and G (Yu et al., FEBS Letters, 1994, 334:96-98). Binding to albumin was weak at about 20 ~M with immunoglobulin binding stronger at about 4 to 6 uM. This study further reported that oligonucleotides conjugated to steroids had increased affinity for blood cells and thus changed their distribution and increased their lifetime in serum. One method for increasing membrane or cellular transport of oligonucleotides is the attachment of a pendant lipophilic group. Ramirez et a1. (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1982, 104:5483) introduced the phospholipid group 5'-0-(1,2-di-0-myristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoryl) into the dimer TpT independently at the 3' and 5' positions. Subsequently Shea et al. (Nuc.
Acids Res., 1990, 18:3777) disclosed oligonucleotides having a 1,2-di-0-hexyldecyl-rac-glycerol group linked to a 5'-phosphate on the 5'-terminus of the oligonucleotide.
Certain of the Shea et al. authors also disclosed these and other compounds in patent application PCT/US90/01002. A
further glucosyl phospholipid was disclosed by Guerra et al., Tetrahedron Letters, 1987, 28:3581.
In other work, a cholesteryl group was attached to the internucleotide linkage between the first and second nucleotides (from the 3' terminus) of an oligonucleotide.
This work is disclosed in United States patent 4,958,013 and further in Letsinger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1989, 86:6553. Additional approaches to the delivery and study of oligonucleotides have involved the conjugation of a variety of other molecules and reporter groups. The aromatic intercalating agent anthraquinone was attached to the 2' position of a sugar fragment of an oligonucleotide as reported by Yamana et a1. (Bioconjugate Chem., 1990, 1:319), Lemairte et al. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1986, 84:648) and Leonetti et al. (Bioconjugate Chem., 1990, 1:149).
Lysine and polylysines have also been conjugated to oligonucleotides to improve their charge-size characteristics. The poly(L-lysine) was linked to the oligonucleotide via periodate oxidation of the 3'-terminal ribose followed by reduction and coupling through a N-morpholine ring. Oligonucleotide-poly(L-lysine) conjugates are described in European Patent application 87109348Ø In this instance, the lysine residue was coupled to a 5' or 3' phosphate of the 5' or 3' terminal nucleotide of the oligonucleotide. A disulfide linkage has also been utilized at the 3' terminus of an oligonucleotide to link a peptide to the oligonucleotide. See, Corey and Schultz, Science, 1987, 238:1401; Zuckermann et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1988, 110:1614; and Corey et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1989, 111:8524.
A linking reagent for attaching biotin to the 3'-terminus of an oligonucleotide has also been described.
Nelson et al., Nuc. Acids Res., 1989, 17:7187. This reagent, N-Fmoc-O-DMT-3-amino-1,2-propanediol is now commercially available from Clontech Laboratories (Palo Alto, CA) under the name 3'-Amine on. It is also commercially available under the name 3'-Amino-Modifier reagent from Glen Research Corporation (Sterling, VA). This reagent was also utilized to link a peptide to an oligonucleotide as reported by Judy et al. (Tetrahedron Letters, 1991, 32:879). A similar commercial reagent (actually a series of such linkers having various lengths of polymethylene connectors) for linking to the 5'-terminus of an oligonucleotide is 5'-Amino-Modifier C6. These reagents are available from Glen Research Corporation (Sterling, VA).
These compounds or similar ones were utilized by Krieg et al. (Antisense Research and Development, 1991, 1:161) to link fluorescein to the 5'-terminus of an oligonucleotide.
Other compounds of interest have also been linked to the 3'-terminus of an oligonucleotide. Asseline et al. (Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1984, 81:3297) describe linking acridine on the 3'-terminal phosphate group of an poly (Tp) oligonucleotide via a polymethylene linkage. Haralambidis et al. (Tetrahedron Letters, 1987, 28:5199) report building a peptide on a solid state support and then linking an oligonucleotide to that peptide via the 3' hydroxyl group of the 3' terminal nucleotide of the oligonucleotide. Chollet (Nucleosides & Nucleotides, 1990, 9:957) attached an Aminolink 2 (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) to the 5' terminal phosphate of an oligonucleotide. The bifunctional linking group SMPB (Pierce Chemical Co., Rockford, I1) was then used to link an interleukin protein to the oligonucleotide.
Conjugation of lipids, reporters, peptides and other molecules to oligonucleotides is not limited to the terminal 3' and 5'-positions. A wide variety of conjugates have also been reported in the literature wherein attachment is performed at any one or more of the 2'-positions on the nucleotide building blocks of the oligonucleotide. Further conjugates have also been reported wherein attachment occurs on the internucleotide linkage or on one of the atoms of the nucleobase of any one of the nucleotide units of the oligonucleotide. For example, an EDTA iron complex has been linked to the 5 position of a pyrimidine nucleoside as reported by Dreyer and Dervan (Pros. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1985, 82:968). Fluorescein has been linked to an oligonucleotide in the same manner as reported by Haralambidis et al. (Nucleic Acid Research, 1987, 15:4857) and biotin in the same manner as described in PCT
application PCT/US/02198. Fluorescein, biotin and pyrene were also linked in the same manner as reported by Telser et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1989, 111:6966). A commercial reagent, Amino-Modifier-dT, from Glen Research Corporation (Sterling, VA) can be utilized to introduce pyrimidine nucleotides bearing similar linking groups into oligonucleotides.
Manoharan et al. (PCT Application WO 93/07883) have also reported the conjugation of oligonucleotides with a variety of molecules such as steroids, reporter molecules, reporter enzymes, vitamins, non-aromatic lipophilic molecules, chelators, porphyrins, intercalators, peptides and proteins through the intermediacy of varied linking groups, such as 6-aminoalkoxy and 6-aminoalkylamino groups.
Conjugation has been reported at the 3'-, 5'-, 2'-, internucleotide linkage and nucleobase positions of oligonucleotides. Such oligonucleotide conjugates are expected to have improved physicochemical properties that facilitated their uptake and delivery into cells as demonstrated by in vitro experiments. The intracellular and intranuclear delivery of nucleic acids and oligonucleotides, however, is still a challenge. Most often, penetration of heretofore reported oligonucleotide conjugates has been found to be limited. This has typically been a problem because such conjugates have generally been designed to improve the passive absorption of the oligonucleotides where the size, physicochemical properties and extracellular concentration of the conjugate play important limiting roles. This coupled with the limited extracellular stability of nucleic acids and oligonucleotid.es demands the development of novel conjugates that will deliver higher levels of nucleic acids and oligonucleotides into specific tissues and targeted cells.
Albumin is the most abundant protein in mammalian systems, and plays an important role in the transport and deposition of drug substances in blood. It is generally accepted that there are two major specific drug binding sites, site I and site II on human albumin. X-ray studies of crystalline human albumin (He and Carter, Nature, 1992, 358:209-215) indicate that site I and site II are located within specialized cavities in subdomain IIA and IIIA, respectively.
Interaction of oligonucleotides with proteins play an important role in absorption, distribution and pharmacokinetics. In the bloodstream, the major oligonucleotide binding protiens are immunoglobulins M and G, serum albumin, and orosomucoid a-1-acid glycoprotein (AAG). The role of plasma protein binding is an important factor in oligonucleotide disposition and efficacy. If protein binding of oligonucleotides can be modulated with small molecular conjugation, it will result in more efficacious oligonucleotide drugs.
Albumin is a water-soluble protein with a molecular weight of 66,500 comprising a single chain of 585 amino _8_ acids containing a single tryptophan (Trp-214), low (20) glycine content, high cystine content and a large number of charged amino acids (about 100 negative charges and 100 positive charges) and has an isoelectric point of about pH
5Ø Thus, at a plasma pH of 7.4, it has a net negative charge of -15. Nonetheless, it attracts both anions and cations. It circulates at a concentration of 3.5-5 g/100 mL
in blood plasma and also exists at lower concentrations in extravascular fluids. About 600 of all human serum albumin (HSA) is located in the extravascular space (.Peters, Adv.
Protein Chem., 1985, 37:161). As the most abundant protein in plasma, HSA plays an important role in the maintenance of blood pH and colloidal osmotic pressure and accounts for most of the thiol content of plasma (Cys-34). Binding of drugs to albumin is usually rapidly reversible. The binding (association) constants are typically in the range of 104 to 106 M-1. HSA is organized in a series of three repeating domains (I, II and III) each having two subdomains. Ligands bind to HSA generally to one or both of two binding sites.
Site I is associated with the ligands warfarin, phenyl butazone. This site is localized in subdomain IIA. Site II
is in subdomain IIIA and binds to diazepam and ibuprofen.
Other ibuprofen analogs suprofen, pranoprofen, carprofen, fenbufen and ketoprofen, which are all non-steroidal antiinflammatory agents bind to site II. Flufenamic acid and dansylsarcosine bind to site II while dansylamide bind to site I. Barbiturates such as quinalbarbitone interact with site II and the antidiabetic tolbutamide binds to site I, site II and an unidentified site. (R)-Folinic acid binds to both sites. Other compounds that bind to HSA include thiadiazides, diazepines, and antibacterials (e. g., nalidixic acid).
Lipoproteins can contribute to the plasma binding of lipophilic drugs and dissolve in lipid core of the _g_ lipoproteins. Cholesterol conjugated oligonucleotides are known to bind to serum proteins. Agrawal et al., ("Effect of aspirin on protein binding and tissue disposition of oligonucleotide phosphorothioate in rats," Journal of Drug Targeting, 1998, 5:303-313) describe the effect of co-administration of aspirin at a concentration of 2 mg/mL and demonstrate that the P=S oligonucleotide binding to serum albumin is reduced (as measured by o protein bound of P=S
oligonucleotide). This result indicates that presence of aspirin in the body or similar small molecule drugs could effectively alter protein binding of P=S oligonucleotides in V1 V0.
Pharmacokinetic studies of P=S oligonucleotide (GEM-91, 25-mer phosphorothioate oligonucleotide) in rats were determined after bolus injection. One hour before administration of the drug, aspirin is administered by gavage. When P=S oligonucleotide was administered following aspirin administration in rats the following the plasma pharmacokinetic parameters (t1,2 a, t1,2 ~, AUC, etc. ) were lower. The tissue disposition was significantly different in that the majority of tissues. e.g. kidney, liver, spleen, bone marrow, skin, thyroid, adrenal, heart, lung, and pancreas, had lower concentrations, and gastrointestinal tissues and contents had a higher concentration. In certain tissues, e.g. liver and bone marrow, the concentration of P=S oligonucleotide which was administered following aspirin administration was about half of that observed following administration of P=S oligonucleotide alone. It was seen that the rate of elimination was affected in animals compared to rats receiving P=S oligonucleotide alone. A
higher concentration of excreted oligonucleotide in feces from rats receiving P=S oligonucleotide following aspirin was observed compared to rats receiving P=S oligonucleotide alone. However, the effect of attaching small molecule drugs to the oligonucleotide to modulate serum albumin binding has not been studied.
Therefore, there is a clear need for oligonucleotide conjugates having improved distribution and cellular uptake and methods for their preparation, that address the shortcomings of oligonucleotide conjugates as described above. The present invention is directed to this very important end.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The present invention provides methods of improving the pharmacokinetic properties of oligonucleotides. The invention further provides ligand conjugated oligomeric compounds having improved pharmacokinetic properties and methods for their preparation. Such oligomeric compounds are prepared having covalently attached ligands that bind reversibly to one or more serum, vascular or cellular proteins. This reversible binding is expected to decrease urinary excretion, increase serum half life and greatly increase the distribution of oligomeric compounds thus conjugated. The binding of particular drugs to plasma protein has been previously shown to enhance the disposition and efficacy of drugs (Herve et al., Clin. Pharmacokinet., 1994, 26:44).
The therapeutic effect of an antisense oligonucleotide is realized when it interacts with a specific cellular nucleic acid and effectively negates its function. A
preferred target is mRNA encoding a protein that is responsible for a disease state. To reach a target nucleic acid after administration, an antisense agent should be able to overcome inherent factors such as rapid degradation in serum, short half life in serum and rapid filtration by the kidneys with subsequent excretion in the urine.
Oligonucleotides that overcome these inherent factors have increased serum half lives, distribution, cellular uptake and hence improved efficacy. These enhanced pharmacokinetic parameters have been shown for selected drug molecules that bind plasma proteins (Olson and Christ, Annual Reports in Medicinal Chemistry, 1996, 31:327). Two proteins that have been studied more than most are human serum albumin (HSA) and a-1-acid glycoprotein. HSA binds a variety of endogenous and exogenous ligands with association constants typically in the range of 10~ to 106 M-1. Association constants for ligands with a-1-acid glycoprotein are similar to those for HSA.
At least for therapeutic purposes, antisense oligonucleotides should have a degree of stability in serum to allow distribution and cellular uptake. The prolonged maintenance of therapeutic levels of antisense agents in serum will have a significant effect on the distribution and cellular uptake and unlike conjugate groups that target specific cell receptors the increased serum stability will effect all cells. Numerous efforts have focused on increasing the cellular uptake of oligonucleotides including increasing the membrane permeability via conjugates and cellular delivery of oligonucleotides.
Many drugs reversibly bind to plasma proteins. A
representative list, which is not meant to be inclusive, includes: aspirin, warfarin, phenylbutazone, ibuprofen, suprofen, fenbufen, ketoprofen, (S)-(+)-pranoprofen, carprofen, dansylsarcosine, 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid, flufenamic acid, folinic acid, benzothiadiazides, chlorothiazide, diazepines (such as for example fludiazepam and diazepam) indomethicin, barbiturates (such as for example quinalbarbitone), cephalosporins, sulfa drugs, antidiabetics (such as for example tollbutamide), antibacterials (such as for example a group of quinolones;
nalidixic acid and cinoxacin) and several antibiotics.
Serum albumin is the most important protein among all plasma proteins for drug binding, although binding to other proteins (for example, macroglobulin G2, immunoglobulins, lipoproteins, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, thrombin) is also important.
Ligands that bind serum, vascular or cellular proteins may be attached via an optional linking moiety to one or more sites on an oligonucleotide of the invention. These sites include one or more of, but are not limited to, the 2'-position, 3'-position, 5'-position, the internucleotide linkage, and a nucleobase atom of any nucleotide residue.
The attachment of ligands to such structures can be performed, according to some preferred embodiments of the invention, using a linking group, or without the use of such a linking group.
In some preferred embodiments of the invention, one or more protein binding ligands are attached to an oligonucleotide via linking groups, to form a ligand conjugated oligonucleotide. Preferred linking groups of the invention include, but are not limited to, 6-aminoalkoxy linkers, 6-aminoalkylamino linkers, cysteamine, heterobi-functional linkers, homobifunctional linkers, and a universal linker (derived from 3-dimethoxytrityloxy-2-aminopropanol). A particularly preferred linking group for the synthesis of ligand conjugated oligonucleotides of the invention is a 6-aminohexyloxy group. A variety of heterobifunctional and homobifunctional linking moieties are available from Pierce Co. (Rockford, IL). Such heterobifunctional and homobifunctional linking moieties are particularly useful in conjunction with the 6-aminoalkoxy and 6-aminoalkylamino moieties to form extended linkers useful for linking ligands to a nucleoside. Further useful linking groups that are commercially available are 5'-Amino-Modifier C6 and 3'-Amino-Modifier reagents, both available from Glen Research Corporation (Sterling, VA). 5'-Amino-Modifier C6 is also available from ABI (Applied Biosystems Inc., Foster City, CA) as Aminolink-2, while the 3'-Amino-Modifier is also available from Clontech Laboratories Inc.
(Palo Alto, CA). In addition, a nucleotide analog bearing a linking group pre-attached to the nucleoside is commercially available from Glen Research Corporation under the tradename "Amino-Modifier-dT." This nucleoside-linking group reagent, a uridine derivative having an [N(7-trifluoroacetylamino-heptyl)3-acrylamido] substituent group at the 5 position of the pyrimidine ring, is synthesized as per the procedure of Jablonski et al. (Nucleic Acid Research, 1986, 14:6115).
The present invention also includes as nucleoside analogs adenine nucleosides functionalized to include a linker on the N6 purine amino group, guanine nucleosides functionalized to include a linker at the exocyclic N2 purine amino group, and cytosine nucleosides functionalized to include a linker on either the N4 pyrimidine amino group or the 5 pyrimidine position. Such nucleoside analogs are incorporated into oligonucleotides with a ligand attached to the linker either pre- or post-oligomerization.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention ligand molecules are selected for conjugation to oligonucleotides on the basis of their affinity for one or more proteins. These proteins may be serum, vascular or cellular proteins. Serum proteins are proteins that are present in the fluid portion of the blood, obtained after coagulation and removal of the fibrin clot and blood cells, as distinguished from the plasma in circulating blood.
Vascular proteins are proteins that are present in portions of the vascular system relating to or containing blood vessels. Cellular proteins are membrane proteins which have at least a portion of the protein extending extracellularly and assisting in the process of endocytosis.
Many ligands having an affinity for proteins are well documented in the literature and are amenable to the present invention. A preferred group of ligands are small molecules including drug moieties. According to the present invention, drug moieties include, but are not limited to, warfarin and coumarins including substituted coumarins, isocoumarin derivatives, 7-anilinocoumarin-4-acetic acid, profens including ibuprofen, enantiomers of ibuprofen (r-ibuprofen and s,-ibuprofen), ibuprofen analogs, ketoprofen, carprofen, etodolac, suprofen, indoprofen, fenbufen, arylpropionic acids, arylalkanoic acids, 2-aryl-2-fluoro-propionic acids, glibenclamide, acetohexamide, arylalkanoic acids, tolbutamide, gliclazide, metformin, curcumin, digitoxin, digoxin, diazepam, benzothiadiazides, chlorothiazide, diazepines, benzodiazepines, naproxen, phenyl butazone, oxyphenbutazone, dansyl amide, dansylsarcosine, 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid, palmitic acid, aspirin, salicylates, substituted salicylates, penicillin, flurbiprofen, pirprofin, oxaprozin, flufenamic acid, deoxycholic acid, glycyrrhizin, azathioprine, butibufen, ibufenac, 5-fluoro-1-typtaphan, 5-fluoro-salicylic, acidazapropanazone, mefenamic acid, indomethacin, flufenamic acid, bilirubin, ibuprofen, lysine complexes, diphenyl, hydantoin, valproic acid, tolmetin, barbiturates (such as, for example, quinalbarbitone), cephalosporins, sulfa drugs, antidiabetics (such as, for example, tollbutamide), antibacterials (such as, for example, quinolones, nalidixic acid and cinoxacin) and several antibiotics.
In one embodiment of the present invention the drug moiety bears a carboxylic acid group. In another embodiment of the present invention the drug moiety is a propionic acid derivative.
In another preferred embodiment, the drug moiety is an arylpropionic acid of the formula:
I
R~-C-COOH
I
H
wherein:
one of R1 and R2 is C1 to C12 alkyl and the other of R1 and R2 is aryl; or both R1 and R2 are C1 to C1~ alkyl; or both R1 and R2 are aryl.
In preferred embodiments, the aryl group may be substituted or unsubstituted benzyl, phenyl, xylyl, naphthyl, toluyl, pyrenyl, anthracyl, phenanthryl, azulyl, phenethyl, cinnamyl, benzhydryl, and mesityl wherein said substituents are hydroxyl, alkyl, alkoxy, alcohol, benzyl, phenyl, nitro, thiol, thioalkoxy, halogen, or alkyl, substituted alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, or alkynyl groups.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention the protein targeted by a ligand conjugated oligomeric compound is a serum protein. It is preferred that the serum protein targeted by a conjugated oligomeric compound is an immunoglobulin (an antibody). Preferred immunoglobulins are immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M. Immunoglobulins are known to appear in blood serum and tissues of vertebrate animals.
In another embodiment of the invention the serum protein targeted by a conjugated oligomeric compound is a lipoprotein.
Lipoproteins are blood proteins having molecular weights generally above 20,000 that carry lipids and are recognized by specific cell surface receptors. The association with lipoproteins in the serum will initially increase pharmacokinetic parameters such as half life and distribution.
A secondary consideration is the ability of lipoproteins to enhance cellular uptake via receptor-mediated endocytosis.
In yet another embodiment the serum protein targeted by a ligand conjugated oligomeric compound is a-2-macroglobulin.
In yet a further embodiment the serum protein targeted by a ligand conjugated oligomeric compound is a-1-glycoprotein.
As used herein, the term "protected" means that the indicated moiety has a protecting group appended thereon. In some preferred embodiments of the invention compounds contain one or more protecting groups. A wide variety of protecting groups can be employed in the methods of the invention. In general, protecting groups render chemical functionalities inert to specific reaction conditions, and can be appended to and removed from such functionalities in a molecule without substantially damaging the remainder of the molecule.
Representative hydroxyl protecting groups, for example, are disclosed by Beaucage et al. (Tetrahedron, 1992, 48:2223 2311). Further hydroxyl protecting groups, as well as other representative protecting groups, are disclosed in Greene and Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Chapter 2, 2d ed., John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1991, and Oligonucleotides And Analogues A Practical Approach, Ekstein, F. Ed., IRL Press, N.Y, 1991, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Examples of hydroxyl protecting groups include, but are not limited to, t-butyl, t-butoxymethyl, methoxymethyl, tetrahydropyranyl, 1-ethoxyethyl, 1-(2-chloroethoxy)ethyl, 2-trimethylsilylethyl, p-chlorophenyl, 2,4-dinitrophenyl, benzyl, 2,6-dichlorobenzyl, diphenylmethyl, p,p'-dinitrobenzhydryl, p-nitrobenzyl, triphenylmethyl, trimethylsilyl, triethylsilyl, t-butyldimethylsilyl, t-butyldiphenylsilyl, triphenylsilyl, benzoylformate, acetate, chloroacetate, trichloroacetate, trifluoroacetate, pivaloate, benzoate, p-phenylbenzoate, 9-fluorenylmethyl carbonate, mesylate and tosylate.
Amino-protecting groups stable to acid treatment are selectively removed with base treatment, and are used to make reactive amino groups selectively available for substitution.
Examples of such groups are the Fmoc (E. Atherton and R.C.
Sheppard in The Peptides, S. Udenfriend, J. Meienhofer, Eds., Academic Press, Orlando, 1987, volume 9, p.1) and various substituted sulfonylethyl carbamates exemplified by the Nsc group (Samukov et al., Tetrahedron Lett, 1994, 35:7821;
Verhart and Tesser, Rec. Trav. Chim. Pays-Bas, 1987, 107:621).
Additional amino-protecting groups include, but are not limited to, carbamate-protecting groups, such as 2 trimethylsilylethoxycarbonyl (Teoc), 1-methyl-1-(4 biphenylyl)ethoxycarbonyl (Bpoc), t-butoxycarbonyl (BOC), allyloxycarbonyl (Alloc), 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl (Fmoc), and benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz); amide-protecting groups, such as formyl, acetyl, trihaloacetyl, benzoyl, and nitrophenylacetyl;
sulfonamide-protecting groups, such as 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl;
and imine- and cyclic imide-protecting groups, such as phthalimido and dithiasuccinoyl. Equivalents of these amino-protecting groups are also encompassed by the compounds and methods of the present invention.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention oligonucleotides are provided including a number of linked nucleosides wherein at least one of the nucleosides is a 2' functionalized nucleoside having a ligand molecule linked to the 2'-position of the nucleoside; a heterocyclic base functionalized nucleoside having a ligand molecule linked to the heterocyclic base of the nucleoside, a 5' terminal nucleoside having a ligand molecule linked to the 5'-position of the nucleoside, a 3' terminal nucleoside having a ligand molecule linked to the 3'-position of the nucleoside, or an inter-strand nucleoside having a ligand molecule linked to an inter-stand linkage linking said inter-strand nucleoside to an adjacent nucleoside.
Ligand conjugated oligonucleotides of the invention may be synthesized by the use of an oligonucleotide that bears a pendant reactive functionality such as that derived from the attachment of a linking molecule onto the oligonucleotide.
This reactive oligonucleotide may be reacted directly with commercially available ligands, ligands that are synthesized bearing a variety of protecting groups, or ligands that have a linking moiety attached thereto. The methods of the present invention facilitate the synthesis of ligand conjugated oligonucleotides by the use of, in some preferred embodiments, nucleoside monomers that have been appropriately conjugated with ligands and that may further be attached to a solid support material. Such ligand-nucleoside conjugates optionally attached to a solid support material are prepared according to some preferred embodiments of the methods of the present invention via reaction of a selected serum binding ligand with a linking moiety located on a 2', 3', or 5' position of a nucleoside or oligonucleotide.
The present invention provides methods for increasing the concentration of an oligonucleotide in serum. According to such methods, a drug moiety that is known to bind to a serum protein is selected and conjugated to an oligonucleotide, thus forming a conjugated oligonucleotide. This conjugated oligonucleotide is then added to the serum.
The present invention further provides methods for increasing the capacity of serum for an oligonucleotide.
According to such methods, a drug moiety that is known to bind to a serum protein is selected and conjugated to an oligonucleotide, thus forming a conjugated oligonucleotide.
This conjugated oligonucleotide is then added to the serum.
The present invention also provides methods for increasing the binding of an oligonucleotide to a portion of the vascular system. According to such methods, a drug moiety that is known to bind to a vascular protein is selected. The vascular protein selected is a protein which resides, in part, in the circulating serum and, in part, in the non-circulating portion of the vascular system. This drug moiety is conjugated to an oligonucleotide to form a conjugated oligonucleotide, which is then added to the vascular system.
The present invention further provides methods for promoting the cellular uptake of an oligonucleotide in a cell.
According to such methods, a cellular protein is selected.
This cellular protein is a protein that resides on the cellular membrane and extends, in part, extracellularly so that part of this cellular protein extends onto the external side of the cellular membrane. Next, a drug moiety that is known to bind to the cellular protein is selected and conjugated to an oligonucleotide to form a conjugated oligonucleotide. This conjugated oligonucleotide is then brought into contact with cells in which cellular uptake of the oligonucleotide is to be promoted.
The present invention also provides methods of increasing cellular uptake of an oligonucleotide comprising contacting an organism with an oligonucleotide of the invention, said oligonucleotide being conjugated to a ligand.
Ligand conjugated oligomeric compounds of the present invention can be included in compositions that further include one or more inert carrier compounds.
Antisense therapeutics can be practiced in a plethora of various organisms ranging from unicellular prokaryotic and eu-karyotic organisms to multicellular eukaryotic organisms. Any organism that utilizes DNA-RNA transcription or RNA-protein translation as a fundamental part of its hereditary, metabolic or cellular control is susceptible to antisense therapeutics and/or prophylactics. Seemingly diverse organisms such as bacteria, yeast, protozoa, algae, all plant and all higher animal forms, including warm-blooded animals, can be treated by antisense therapy. Further, since each of the cells of multicellular eukaryotes also includes both DNA-RNA
transcription and RNA-protein translation as an integral part of its cellular activity, antisense therapeutics and/or diagnostics can also be practiced on such cellular populations.
Furthermore, many of the organelles, e.g. mitochondria and chloroplasts, of eukaryotic cells also include transcription and translation mechanisms. As such, single cells, cellular populations or organelles can also be included within the definition of organisms that are capable of being treated with antisense therapeutics or diagnostics. As used herein, therapeutics is meant to include both the eradication of a disease state, killing of an organism, e.g. bacterial, protozoan or other infection, or control of erratic or harmful cellular growth or expression.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention a ligand having an affinity for a serum protein is attached to at least one nucleoside in an antisense diagnostic or therapeutic agent to enhance the pharmacokinetic properties of the antisense therapeutic or diagnostic agent. Such improved pharmacokinetic properties include, but are not limited to, increased binding of the antisense compound to serum proteins, increased plasma concentration of the antisense compound, increased tissue distribution, increased capacity of binding of the antisense compound to serum proteins and increased half-lives. Such an antisense diagnostic or therapeutic agent is preferably a nucleic acid or oligonucleotide formed of a plurality of linked nucleosides of a sequence that are "antisense" to a region of an RNA or DNA of interest. The nucleosides are linked by phosphorus-containing or non-phosphorus-containing covalent internucleoside linkages. One or more nucleosides of the oligonucleotide are conjugated to include a ligand molecule bound to the nucleoside with or without a linking group. For the purposes of identification, such conjugated nucleosides can be characterized as ligand bearing nucleosides or ligand-nucleoside conjugates. The linked nucleosides having at least one conjugated nucleoside within their sequence will demonstrate enhanced antisense activity when compared to like linked nucleoside or oligonucleotides of the same sequence that are not conjugated.
The ligand conjugated oligonucleotides of the present invention also include conjugates of oligonucleotides and linked nucleosides wherein the ligand is attached directly onto the nucleoside or nucleotide without the intermediacy of a linker group. This attachment of ligand may be performed at either one or more of the 2'-, 3'-, 5'-, nucleobase or internucleoside linkage positions of the oligonucleotide or linked nucleosides of the invention. Ligands may preferably be attached, via linking groups, at a carboxyl, amino or oxo groups of the ligand. Typical linking groups may be ester, amide or carbamate groups.
In the context of this invention, the terms "oligomer" and "oligomeric compound" refer not only to a plurality of naturally-occurring or non-naturally-occurring nucleosides joined together in a specific sequence but are further inclusive of all types of oligomeric compounds currently known in the art such as oligonucleotide analogs, peptide nucleic acids and locked nucleic acids where the sugar is involved in locking the conformation. Many diverse motifs are currently known for improving the desired effect for the specific target that the oligomeric compound is aimed at such as for example chimeric oligomeric compounds where there are more than one type of internucleoside linkages dividing the oligomeric compound into regions. Oligomeric compounds are typically structurally distinguishable from, yet functionally inter-changeable with, naturally-occurring or synthetic wild-type oligonucleotides. Thus, oligomeric compounds include all such structures which function effectively to mimic the structure and/or function of a desired RNA or DNA strand, for example, by hybridizing to a target. Whereas the term "oligonucleotide"
has a well defined meaning in the art, the term "oligomeric compound" or "oligomer" is intended to be broader, inclusive of oligomers having all manner of modifications known in the art. Gapped or chimeric compounds are disclosed in for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,623,065, issued April 22, 1997, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
In the context of this invention, the term "oligomeric compound" includes linked nucleosides having phosphorus and non-phosphorus linkages and mixed backbone oligomers. A
representative list of phosphorus containing and non-phosphorus containing linkages amenable to the present invention includes:
phosphorus containina linkaaes phosphorodithioate (-0-P(S)(S)-0-);
phosphorothioate (-0-P(S)(0)-0-);
phosphoramidate (-O-P(O)(NJ)-0-);
phosphonate (-0-P (J) (0) -O-) ;

Another modification that is used to prepare oligomeric compounds amenable to the present invention includes LNA's (locked nucleic acid) which are novel conformationally restricted oligonucleotide analogs containing 2'-0,4'-C
methylene LNA nucleoside monomers. LNA and LNA analogs display very high duplex thermal stabilities with complementary DNA and RNA (Tm = +3 to +10 C), stability towards 3'-exonucleolytic degradation, and good solubility properties (see for example:
LNA (locked nucleic acids, synthesis and high-affinity nucleic acid recognition, Singh et al., Dep. Chem., Univ.
Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Den. Chem. Commun., (Cambridge) (1998), (4), 455-456. A novel class of nucleic acid analogs, termed LNA (locked nucleic acids), is introduced. Following the Watson-Crick base pairing rules, LNA forms duplexes with complementary DNA and RNA with remarkably increased thermal stabilities and generally improved selectivity.
Synthesis of the adenine, cytosine, guanine, 5-methyl-cytosine, thymine and uracil bicyclonucleoside monomers, oligomerization, and nucleic acid recognition properties have been described (see Koshkin et al., Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Den. Tetrahedron (1998), 54(14), 3607-3630. LNA monomers, have been synthesized and their nucleic acid recognition potential evaluated for six different nucleobases, namely adenine, cytosine, guanine, 5 methylcytosine, thymine and uracil. Studies of mis-matched sequences show that LNA obey the Watson-Crick base pairing rules with generally improved selectivity compared to the corresponding unmodified reference strands.
Potent and nontoxic antisense oligonucleotides containing locked nucleic acids have been described (Wahlestedt et al., Center for Genomics Research, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Swed., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. (2000), 97(10), 5633-5638. ) The authors have demonstrated locked nucleic acid (LNA) , confers several desired properties to antisense agents.
LNA/DNA copolymers were not degraded readily in blood serum and cell extracts. LNA/DNA copolymers exhibited potent antisense activity on assay systems as disparate as a G-protein-coupled receptor in living rat brain and an Escherichia coli reporter gene.
The conformations of locked nucleic acids (LNA) has been determined by Petersen et al., Department of Chemistry, University of Southern Denmark, Odense University, Odense, Den., J. Mol. Recognit., (2000), 13(1), 44-53. The authors have used 2D NMR spectroscopy to show that the locked conformation of the LNA nucleotides both in ssLNA and in the duplexes organize the phosphate backbone in such a way as to introduce higher population of the N-type conformation. These conformational changes are associated with an improved stacking of the nucleobases.
LNA properties have been described by Wengel et al., Center For Synthetic Bioorganic Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Den.
_29_ Nucleosides Nucleotides (1999), 18(6 & 7), 1365-1370.
LNA forms duplexes with complementary DNA, RNA or LNA with high thermal affinities. CD spectra show that duplexes involving fully modified LNA (esp. LNA:RNA) structurally resemble an A-form RNA:RNA duplex. NMR examination of an LNA:DNA duplex confirm the 3'-endo conformation of an LNA
monomer. Recognition of double-stranded DNA is demonstrated suggesting strand invasion by LNA. Lipofectin-mediated efficient delivery of LNA into living human breast cancer cells has been accomplished.
In a patent application, preparation of locked nucleoside analogs-containing oligodeoxyribonucleotide duplexes as substrates for nucleic acid polymerases has been described Wengel , Jesper; Nielsen, Poul. (Exiqon A/S, Den.). PCT Int.

The nucleotide analogs, LNAs (Locked Nucleoside Analogs), are able to provide valuable improvements to oligonucleotides with respect to affinity and specificity towards complementary RNA and DNA oligomers. The novel type of LNA modified oligonucleotides, as well as the LNAs as such, are useful in a wide range of diagnostic applications as well as therapeutic applications. Among these can be mentioned antisense applications, PCR applications, strand displacement oligomers, as substrates for nucleic acid polymerases, as nucleotide based drugs, etc.
LNA has been shown to form exceedingly stable LNA:LNA
Duplexes (Koshkin et al., Center for Synthetic Bioorganic Chemistry Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Den. J. Am. Chem. Soc. (1998), 120(50), 13252 13253).
LNA:LNA hybridization was shown to be the most thermally stable nucleic acid type duplex system, and the RNA-mimicking character of LNA was established at the duplex level.
Introduction of 3 LNA monomers (T or A) induced significantly increase melting points (Tm = +15/+11) toward DNA complements.
The universality of LNA-mediated hybridization has been stressed by the formation of exceedingly stable LNA:LNA
duplexes. The RNA-mimicking of LNA was reflected with regard to the N-type conformational restriction of the monomers and to the secondary structure of the LNA:RNA duplex.
Synthesis of 2'-amino-LNA, a novel conformationally restricted high-affinity oligonucleotide analog with a Handle has been shown (see Singh et al., Center for Synthetic Bioorganic Chemistry Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Den. J. Org. Chem. (1998), 63(26), 10035-10039.) 2'-Amino- and 2'-methylamino-locked nucleic acids (2' amino-LNA) containing monomer nucleoside I (R = Me, COCF3) were prepared and thermal stability of their duplexes with complementary RNA and DNA strands have been previously reported.
Similarly, The first analogs of LNA, phosphorothioate-LNA
and 2'-thio-LNAs have been prepared (see Kumar et al., Center for Synthetic Bioorganic Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Den. Bioorg. Med. Chem.
Lett. (1998), 8(16), 2219-2222.) Synthesis of the chemically modified LNA analogs has also been reported. A 9-mer phosphorothioate-LNA containing three LNA thymine monomers (I, X = 0, Y = S, R = Me) and 9-mer LNAs containing one, three or five 2'-thio-LNA monomers (I, X = S, Y = 0, R = H) were able to recognize both complementary DNA and RNA with thermal affinities comparable to those of parent LNA.
Synthesis of novel bicyclo[2.2.1] ribonucleosides, 2' amino- and 2'-thio-LNA monomeric nucleosides has been described in Singh et al., Center for Synthetic Bioorganic Chemistry Department of Chemistry Chemical Laboratory II, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Den. J. Org. Chem. (1998), 63(18), 6078-6079.) The present invention employs oligonucleotides for use in antisense modulation of the function of DNA or messenger RNA
(mRNA) encoding a protein the modulation of which is desired, and ultimately to regulate the amount of such a protein.
Hybridization of an antisense oligonucleotide with its mRNA
target interferes with the normal role of mRNA and causes a modulation of its function in cells. The functions of mRNA to be interfered with include all vital functions such as translocation of the RNA to the site for protein translation, actual translation of protein from the RNA, splicing of the RNA
to yield one or more mRNA species, turnover or degradation of the mRNA and possibly even independent catalytic activity which may be engaged in by the RNA. The overall effect of such interference with mRNA function is modulation of the expression of a protein, wherein "modulation" means either an increase (stimulation) or a decrease (inhibition) in the expression of the protein. In the context of the present invention, inhibition is the preferred form of modulation of gene expression.
In the context of this invention, the term "oligonucleotide" refers to an oligomer or polymer of ribonucleic acid or deoxyribonucleic acid. This term includes oligonucleotides composed of naturally-occurring nucleobases, sugars and covalent intersugar (backbone) linkages as well as modified oligonucleotides having non-naturally-occurring portions which function similarly. Such modified or substituted oligonucleotides are often preferred over native forms because of desirable properties such as, for example, enhanced cellular uptake, enhanced binding to target and increased stability in the presence of nucleases. The oligonucleotides of the present invention preferably comprise from about 5 to about 50 nucleosides. It is more preferred that such oligonucleotides comprise from about 8 to about 30 nucleosides, with 15 to 25 nucleosides being particularly preferred.
An oligonucleotide is a polymer of repeating units generically known as nucleotides or nucleosides. An unmodified (naturally occurring) nucleotide has three components: (1) a nitrogenous base linked by one of its nitrogen atoms to (2) a 5-carbon cyclic sugar and ( 3 ) a phosphate, esterified to carbon 5 of the sugar. When incorporated into an oligonucleotide chain, the phosphate of a first nucleotide is also esterified to carbon 3 of the sugar of a second, adjacent nucleotide. The "backbone" of an unmodified oligonucleotide consists of (2) and (3) , that is, sugars linked together by phosphodiester linkages between the C5 (5' ) position of the sugar of a first nucleotide and the C3 (3') position of a second, adjacent nucleotide. A
"nucleoside" is the combination of (1) a nucleobase and (2) a sugar in the absence of a phosphate moiety (Kornberg, DNA
Replication, W.H. Freeman & Co., San Francisco, 1980, pages 4-'7). The backbone of an oligonucleotide positions a series of bases in a specific order; the written representation of this series of bases, which is conventionally written in 5' to 3' order, is known as a nucleotide sequence.
Oligonucleotides may comprise nucleoside or nucleotide sequences sufficient in identity and number to effect specific hybridization with a particular nucleic acid. Such oligonucleotides which specifically hybridize to a portion of the sense strand of a gene are commonly described as "antisense." In the context of the invention, "hybridization"
means hydrogen bonding, which may be Watson-Crick, Hoogsteen or reversed Hoogsteen hydrogen bonding, between complementary nucleosides or nucleotides. For example, adenine and thymine are complementary nucleobases which pair through the formation of hydrogen bonds. "Complementary," as used herein, refers to the capacity for precise pairing between two nucleotides. For example, if a nucleotide at a certain position of an oligonucleotide is capable of hydrogen bonding with a nucleotide at the same position of a DNA or RNA molecule, then the oligonucleotide and the DNA or RNA are considered to be complementary to each other at that position. The oligonucleo-tide and the DNA or RNA are complementary to each other when a sufficient number of corresponding positions in each molecule are occupied by nucleotides which can hydrogen bond with each other. Thus, "specifically hybridizable" and "complementary"
are terms which are used to indicate a sufficient degree of complementarity or precise pairing such that stable and specific binding occurs between the oligonucleotide and the DNA
or RNA target. It is understood in the art that an oligonucleotide need not be 1000 complementary to its target DNA sequence to be specifically hybridizable. An oligonucleotide is specifically hybridizable when binding of the oligonucleotide to the target DNA or RNA molecule interferes with the normal function of the target DNA or RNA
to cause a decrease or loss of function, and there is a sufficient degree of complementarity to avoid non-specific binding of the oligonucleotide to non-target sequences under conditions in which specific binding is desired, i.e., under physiological conditions in the case of in vivo assays or therapeutic treatment, or in the case of in vitro assays, under conditions in which the assays are performed.
Antisense oligonucleotides are commonly used as research reagents, diagnostic aids, and therapeutic agents. For example, antisense oligonucleotides, which are able to inhibit gene expression with exquisite specificity, are often used by those of ordinary skill to elucidate the function of particular genes, for example to distinguish between the functions of various members of a biological pathway. This specific inhibitory effect has, therefore, been harnessed by those skilled in the art for research uses. Antisense oligonucleotides have also been used as diagnostic aids based on their specific binding or hybridization to DNA or mRNA that are present in certain disease states and due to the high degree of sensitivity that hybridization based assays and amplified assays that utilize some of polymerase chain reaction afford. The specificity and sensitivity of oligonucleotides is also harnessed by those of skill in the art for therapeutic uses. For example, the following U.S. patents demonstrate palliative, therapeutic and other methods utilizing antisense oligonucleotides. U. S. Patent No. 5,135,917 provides antisense oligonucleotides that inhibit human interleukin-1 receptor expression. U.S. Patent No. 5,098,890 is directed to antisense oligonucleotides complementary to the c-myb oncogene and antisense oligonucleotide therapies for certain cancerous conditions.

Specific examples of some preferred modified oligonucleotides envisioned for use in the ligand conjugated oligonucleotides of the present invention include oligonucleotides containing modified backbones or non-natural internucleoside linkages. As defined in this specification, oligonucleotides having modified backbones or internucleoside linkages include those that retain a phosphorus atom in the backbone and those that do not have a phosphorus atom in the backbone. For the purposes of this specification, and as sometimes referenced in the art, modified oligonucleotides that do not have a phosphorus atom in their intersugar backbone can also be considered to be oligonucleosides.
Specific oligonucleotide chemical modifications are described below. It is not necessary for all positions in a given compound to be uniformly modified, and in fact more than one of the following modifications may be incorporated in a single antisense compound or even in a single residue thereof, for example, at a single nucleoside within an oligonucleotide.
Preferred modified internucleoside linkages or backbones include, for example, phosphorothioates, chiral phosphoro thioates, phosphorodithioates, phosphotriesters, aminoalkyl phosphotriesters, methyl and other alkyl phosphonates including 3'-alkylene phosphonates and chiral phosphonates, phosphinates, phosphoramidates including 3'-amino phosphoramidate and aminoalkylphosphoramidates, thionophosphoramidates, thiono-alkylphosphonates, thionoalklyphosphotriesters, and borano-phosphates having normal 3'-5' linkages, 2'-5' linked analogs of these, and those having inverted polarity wherein the adjacent pairs of nucleoside units are linked 3'-5' to 5'-3' or 2'-5' to 5'-2'. Various salts, mixed salts and free acid forms are also included.

In other preferred oligonucleotide mimetics, both the sugar and the internucleoside linkage, i.e., the backbone, of the nucleoside units are replaced with novel groups. The nucleobase units are maintained for hybridization with an appropriate nucleic acid target compound. One such oligonucleotide, an oligonucleotide mimetic, that has been shown to have excellent hybridization properties, is referred to as a peptide nucleic acid (PNA). In PNA compounds, the sugar-backbone of an oligonucleotide is replaced with an amide containing backbone, in particular an aminoethylglycine backbone. The nucleobases are retained and are bound directly or indirectly to aza nitrogen atoms of the amide portion of the backbone. Representative United States patents that teach the preparation of PNA compounds include, but are not limited to, U.S. Patents Nos. 5,539,082; 5,714,331; and 5,719,262, each of which is herein incorporated by reference. Further teaching of PNA compounds can be found in Nielsen et al . , Science, 1991, 254, 1497.
Some preferred embodiments of the present invention may employ oligonucleotides with phosphorothioate linkages and oligonucleosides with heteroatom backbones, and in particular -CH2-NH-0-CH2-, -CH2-N (CH3) -O-CH2- [known as a methylene (methylimino) or MMI backbone], -CH2-O-N ( CH3 ) -CH2-, - CHz-N ( CH3 ) -N ( CH3 ) -CH2- and -0-N ( CH3 ) -CH2-[wherein the native phosphodiester backbone is represented as -0-P-0-CHz-] of the above referenced U.

Certain of these nucleobases are particularly useful for increasing the binding affinity of the oligonucleotides of the invention. These include 5-substituted pyrimidines, 6-azapyrimidines and N-2, N-6 and 0-6 substituted purines, including 2-aminopropyladenine, 5-propynyluracil and 5-propynylcytosine. 5-methylcytosine substitutions have been shown to increase nucleic acid duplex stability by 0.6-1.2 °C

The present invention also includes compositions employing antisense compounds which are chimeric compounds. "Chimeric"
antisense compounds or "chimeras," in the context of this invention, are antisense compounds, particularly oligonucleotides, which contain two or more chemically distinct regions, each made up of at least one monomer unit, i . e. , a nucleotide in the case of an oligonucleotide compound. These cligonucleotides typically contain at least one region wherein the oligonucleotide is modified so as to confer upon the oligonucleotide increased resistance to nuclease degradation, increased cellular uptake, and/or increased binding affinity for the target nucleic acid. An additional region of the oligonucleotide may serve as a substrate for enzymes capable of cleaving RNA: DNA or RNA: RNA hybrids. By way of example, RNase H is a cellular endonuclease which cleaves the RNA strand of an RNA: DNA duplex. Activation of RNase H, therefore, results in cleavage of the RNA target, thereby greatly enhancing the efficiency of oligonucleotide inhibition of gene expression. Consequently, comparable results can often be obtained with shorter oligonucleotides when chimeric oligonucleotides are used, compared to phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides hybridizing to the same target region.
Cleavage of the RNA target can be routinely detected by gel electrophoresis and, if necessary, associated nucleic acid hybridization techniques known in the art. RNase H-mediated target cleavage is distinct from the use of ribozymes to cleave nucleic acids, and ribozymes are not comprehended by the present invention.
By way of example, such "chimeras" may be "gapmers, " i . e. , oligonucleotides in which a central portion (the "gap") of the oligonucleotide serves as a substrate for, e.g., RNase H, and the 5' and 3' portions (the "wings") are modified in such a fashion so as to have greater affinity for, or stability when duplexed with, the target RNA molecule but are unable to support nuclease activity (e. g., 2'-fluoro- or 2'-methoxy-ethoxy-substituted). Other chimeras include "hemimers," that is, oligonucleotides in which the 5' portion of the oligo-nucleotide serves as a substrate for, e.g., RNase H, whereas the 3' portion is modified in such a fashion so as to have greater affinity for, or stability when duplexed with, the target RNA molecule but is unable to support nuclease activity (e. g., 2'-fluoro- or 2'-methoxyethoxy- substituted), or vice-versa.
A number of chemical modifications to oligonucleotides that confer greater oligonucleotide:RNA duplex stability have been described by Freier et al. (Nucl. Acids Res., 1997, 25, 4429). Such modifications are preferred for the RNase H-refractory portions of chimeric oligonucleotides and may generally be used to enhance the affinity of an antisense compound for a target RNA.
Chimeric antisense compounds of the invention may be formed as composite structures of two or more oligonucleotides, modified oligonucleotides, oligonucleosides and/or oligonucleotide mimetics as described above. Such compounds have also been referred to in the art as hybrids or gapmers.
Representative United States patents that teach the preparation of such hybrid structures include, but are not limited to, U . S .
Patents Nos. 5,013,830; 5,149,797; 5,220,007; 5,256,775;
5,366,878; 5,403,711; 5,491,133; 5,565,350; 5,623,065;
5,652,355; 5,652,356; and 5,700,922, certain of which are commonly owned, and each of which is herein incorporated by reference, and commonly owned and allowed United States patent application serial number 08/465,880, filed on June 6, 1995, also herein incorporated by reference.
The present invention also includes compositions employing oligonucleotides that are substantially chirally pure with regard to particular positions within the oligonucleotides. Examples of substantially chirally pure oligonucleotides include, but are not limited to, those having phosphorothioate linkages that are at least 75o Sp or Rp (Cook et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,587,361) and those having substantially chirally pure (Sp or Rp) alkylphosphonate, phosphoramidate or phosphotriester linkages (Cook, U.S. Patents Nos. 5,212,295 and 5,521,302).
The present invention further encompasses ligand conjugated oligonucleotides employing ribozymes. Synthetic RNA
molecules and derivatives thereof that catalyze highly specific endoribonuclease activities are known as ribozymes. (See, generally, U.S. Patent No. 5,543,508 to Haseloff et al., issued August 6, 1996, and U.S. Patent No. 5,545,729 to Goodchild et al., issued August 13, 1996.) The cleavage reactions are catalyzed by the RNA molecules themselves. In naturally occurring RNA molecules, the sites of self-catalyzed cleavage are located within highly conserved regions of RNA secondary structure (Buzayan et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 1986, 83, 8859; Forster et al., Cell, 1987, 50, 9). Naturally occurring autocatalytic RNA molecules have been modified to generate ribozymes which can be targeted to a particular cellular or pathogenic RNA molecule with a high degree of specificity. Thus, ribozymes serve the same general purpose as antisense oligonucleotides (i.e., modulation of expression of a specific gene) and, like oligonucleotides, are nucleic acids possessing significant portions of single-strandedness.
That is, ribozymes have substantial chemical and functional identity with oligonucleotides and are thus considered to be equivalents for purposes of the present invention.
The oligonucleotides used in the conjugates of the present invention may be conveniently and routinely made through the well-known technique of solid phase synthesis.
Equipment for such synthesis is sold by several vendors including, for example, Applied Biosystems (Foster City, CA).
Any other means for such synthesis known in the art may additionally or alternatively be employed. It is also known to use similar techniques to prepare other oligonucleotides such as the phosphorothioates and alkylated derivatives.
Teachings regarding the synthesis of particular modified oligonucleotides may be found in the following U.S. patents or pending patent applications, each of which is commonly assigned with this application: U.S. Patents Nos. 5,138,045 and 5,218,105, drawn to polyamine conjugated oligonucleotides; U.S.

In the ligand conjugated oligonucleotides and ligand molecule-bearing sequence-specific linked nucleosides of the present invention, the oligonucleotides and oligonucleosides may be assembled on a suitable DNA synthesizer utilizing standard nucleotide or nucleoside precursors, or nucleotide or nucleoside conjugate precursors that already bear the linking moiety, or ligand-nucleotide or nucleoside conjugate precursors that already bear the ligand molecule.
When using nucleotide conjugate precursors that already bear a linking moiety, the synthesis of the sequence-specific linked nucleosides is typically completed, and the ligand molecule is then reacted with the linking moiety to form the ligand conjugated oligonucleotide. This approach to the synthesis of oligonucleotide conjugates bearing a variety of molecules such as steroids, vitamins, lipids and reporter molecules has previously been described (see Manoharan et al., PCT Application WO 93/07883). In a preferred embodiment the oligonucleotides or linked nucleosides of the present invention are synthesized by an automated synthesizer using phosphor-amidites derived from ligand-nucleoside conjugates in addition to the standard phosphoramidites and non-standard phosphor-amidites that are commercially available and routinely used in oligonucleotide synthesis.
In application serial No. US91/00243, application serial No. 463,358 and application serial No. 566,977, all incorporated herein by reference, it is reported that incorporation of a 2'-O-methyl, 2'-O-ethyl, 2'-0-propyl, 2'-O
allyl, 2'-O-aminoalkyl or 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro group in nucleo sides of an oligonucleotide confers enhanced hybridization properties to the oligonucleotide. It is further reported that oligonucleotides containing phosphorothioate backbones have enhanced nuclease stability. Thus, functionalized, linked nucleosides of the invention can be augmented to further include either or both a phosphorothioate backbone or a 2'-0-methyl, 2'-O-ethyl, 2'-O-propyl, 2'-0-aminoalkyl, 2'-0-allyl or 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro group thereon.
In some preferred embodiments, functionalized nucleoside sequences of the invention possessing an amino group at the 5' -terminus are prepared using a DNA synthesizer, and then reacted with an active ester derivative of a selected ligand. Active ester derivatives are well known to those skilled in the art.
Representative active esters include N-hydrosuccinimide esters, tetrafluorophenolic esters, pentafluorophenolic esters and pentachlorophenolic esters. The reaction of the amino group and the active ester produces an oligonucleotide in which the selected ligand is attached to the 5'-position through a linking group. The amino group at the 5'-terminus can conveniently be prepared utilizing the above noted 5'-Amino-Modifier C6 reagent. In a preferred embodiment, ligand molecules may be conjugated to oligonucleotides at the 5'-position by the use of a ligand-nucleoside phosphoramidite wherein the ligand is linked to the 5'-hydroxy group directly or indirectly via a linker. Such ligand-nucleoside phosphoramidites are typically used at the end of an automated synthesis procedure to provide a ligand conjugated oligonucleotide bearing the ligand at the 5'-terminus.
In further preferred embodiments, functionalized nucleoside sequences of the invention can be prepared wherein a selected ligand is attached to the 3'-terminal amino group using a 3'-amino modified controlled pore glass (sold by Clontech Laboratories Inc., Palo Alto, CA) and subsequent attachment of the ligand is achieved by reaction with a ligand active ester.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ligand may be attached to the oligonucleotide at the 3'-terminus through the use of an appropriate multifunctional linker such as a universal linker. In this case the ligand is first derivatized with the universal linker and this conjugate then loaded onto a solid support.
Subsequent synthesis of nucleic acids or oligonucleotides on this solid support affords upon cleavage and deprotection the ligand conjugated oligonucleotide bearing a ligand molecule at the 3'-terminus.
In still further preferred embodiments, functionalized sequences of nucleosides and ligand conjugated oligonucleotides of the present invention can be prepared wherein the ligand molecule is attached either directly or via a linking group to any one of the atoms of the nucleobase of any of the nucleoside units of the oligonucleotide. Thus, one or more ligand molecules may be attached to the nucleobase at the 3' -terminus, the 5'-terminus or any position in between. Such attachment can be accomplished, for example, by chemistries described in the literature, and mentioned above. The preferred mode of attachment of ligand molecules to nucleobases is via the intermediacy of an appropriate linker present on a nucleoside precursor. The ligand-nucleoside conjugate is then phosphitylated at the 3'-position to afford a ligand-nucleoside conjugate phosphoramidite which may be used subsequently as a building block together with traditional nucleoside phosphoramidites for the automated synthesis of oligonucleotides. The number and location of insertion of such ligand nucleotide conjugate phosphoramidites will then dictate the number and location of ligand molecules present in the synthesized ligand conjugated oligonucleotide of the present invention.
The present invention also provides ligand conjugated oligonucleotides wherein the ligand molecule is attached to one of the atoms of the internucleotide linkage. One typical internucleotide linkage in nucleic acids and oligonucleotides is the phosphodiester linkage. Numerous modified internucleotide linkages are known in the art including, but not limited to, phosphorothioate, methyl phosphonate, and phosphordithioate, as described above. Ligand molecules may be conjugated at one of the atoms of such internucleotide linkages with or without the intermediacy of a linking group.
Attachment of the ligand molecule may be accomplished in accordance with the methods of the invention either during the preparation of the nucleoside building block such as the phosphoramidite or may be performed during the formation of the internucleotide linkage during oligonucleotide synthesis.
In further preferred embodiments of the invention, the ligand molecule is attached at multiple sites on one oligonucleotide. For example, ligand conjugated oligonucleotides can be prepared wherein one or more ligands are attached to both ends of a linked nucleoside sequence.
Preferably such a structure is prepared by reacting a 3',5'-diamino sequence with a ligand active ester. The required oligonucleoside sequence can be synthesized, for example, utilizing the 3'-Amino-Modifier and the 5'-Amino-Modifier C6 (or Aminolink-2) reagents noted above or by utilizing the above noted 3'-amino modified controlled pore glass reagent in combination with the 5'-Amino-Modifier C2 (or Aminolink-2) reagents. Alternatively, such multiply conjugated oligonucleotides may readily be synthesized according to the methods of the invention using an appropriate ligand-nucleoside conjugate phosphoramidites as and where needed in a given oligonucleotide sequence during automated synthesis.
In still further preferred embodiments of the invention, an oligonucleoside sequence bearing an aminolinker at the 2'-position of one or more selected nucleosides is prepared using a suitably functionalized nucleotide such as, for example, 5'-dimethoxytrityl-2'-O-(~-phthalimidylaminopentyl)-2'-deoxy-adenosine-3'-N,N-diisopropyl-cyanoethoxy phosphoramidite. See the above referenced patent applications serial numbers US91/00243, 566,977 and 463,358. Preferably, the nucleotide or nucleotides are attached to the ligand by reaction with an active ester or a thioisocyanate thereof, at one or more of the nucleoside components of the oligonucleotide.
In yet further preferred embodiments, functionalized nucleoside sequences of the invention can be prepared wherein the heterocyclic base of one or more nucleosides can be linked to a ligand molecule. for example, utilizing 5'-O-dimethoxytrityl-5-[N(7-trifluoroacetylaminoheptyl)-3-acryl-amido]-2'-deoxyuridine 3'-0-(methyl N,N-diisopropyl)phosphor-amide as described by Jablonski et. al. supra (also commercially available from Glen Research) the desired nucleoside, functionalized to incorporate a linking group on its heterocyclic base, is incorporated into the linked nucleoside sequence using a DNA synthesizer.
In further functionalized linked nucleosides of the invention, conjugation (or linking) of ligand molecules is achieved by conjugation of the ligand to the above described amino linking group on the nucleoside. This can be effected in several ways. For example, a ligand-nucleoside conjugate of the invention can be prepared by conjugation of the ligand molecule to the nucleoside using EDC/sulfo-NHS (i.e. 1-ethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropylcarbodiimide/N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide) to conjugate the carboxylate function of the ligand with the amino function of the linking group on the nucleoside.
Ligand conjugated oligonucleotides of the present invention may be prepared by conjugation of the ligand molecule to the nucleoside sequence via a heterobifunctional linker such as m-maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide ester (MBS) or succinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC), to link a nucleophilic position, preferably a thiol, on the ligand molecule to the amino function. of the linking group on nucleoside sequence. By this mechanism, an oligonucleoside-maleimide conjugate is formed by reaction of the amino group of the linker on the linked nucleosides with the MBS or SMCC maleimide linker. The conjugate is then reacted with ligand molecules, preferably those that possess a thiol functionality.
Alternatively, an ligand conjugated oligonucleotide can be prepared by conjugation of the ligand molecule to the oligonucleotide or nucleoside via a homobifunctional linker such as disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS), to link an amino function on the ligand to the amino group of a linker on the oligonucleotide sequence. By this mechanism, an oligonucleoside-succinimidyl conjugate is formed by reaction of the amino group of the linker on the nucleoside sequence with a disuccinimidyl suberate linker. The disuccinimidyl suberate linker couples with the amine linker on the nucleoside to extend the size of the linker. The extended linker is then reacted with an amino group of the ligand molecule.
A number of non-ligand molecules have been conjugated to oligonucleotides in order to enhance the activity, cellular distribution or cellular uptake of the oligonucleotide, and procedures for performing such conjugations are available in the scientific literature. Such non-ligand moieties have included lipid moieties such as cholesterol (Letsinger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1989, 86:6553), cholic acid (Manoharan et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 1994, 4:1053), a thioether, e.g., hexyl-S-tritylthiol (Manoharan et al., Ann.
N.Y. Acad. Sci., 1992, 660:306; Manoharan et al., Bioorg. Med.
Chem. Let., 1993, 3:2765), a thiocholesterol (Oberhauser et al., Nucl. Acids Res., 1992, 20:533), an aliphatic chain, e.g., dodecandiol or undecyl residues (Saison-Behmoaras et al., EMBO
J. , 1991, 10: 111; Kabanov et al. , FEBS Lett. , 1990, 259: 327;
Svinarchuk et al., Biochimie, 1993, 75:49), a phospholipid, e.g., di-hexadecyl-rac-glycerol or triethylammonium 1,2-di-0-hexadecyl-rac-glycero-3-H-phosphonate (Manoharan et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 1995, 36:3651; Shea et al., Nucl. Acids Res., 1990, 18:3777), a polyamine or a polyethylene glycol chain (Manoharan et al., Nucleosides & Nucleotides, 1995, 14:969), or adamantane acetic acid (Manoharan et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 1995, 36:3651), a palmityl moiety (Mishra et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 1995, 1264:229), or an octadecylamine or hexylamino-carbonyl-oxycholesterol moiety (Crooke et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 1996, 277:923).
Representative United States patents that teach the preparation of such oligonucleotide conjugates have been listed above.
Typical conjugation protocols involve the synthesis of oligonucleotides bearing an aminolinker at one or more positions of the sequence. The amino group is then reacted with the molecule being conjugated using appropriate coupling or activating reagents. The conjugation reaction may be performed either with the oligonucleotide still bound to the solid support or following cleavage of the oligonucleotide in solution phase. Purification of the oligonucleotide conjugate by HPLC typically affords the pure conjugate.
Alternatively, the molecule being conjugated may be converted into a building block such as a phosphoramidite via an alcohol group present in the molecule or by attachment of a linker bearing an alcohol group that may be phosphitylated.
Each of these approaches may be used for the synthesis of ligand conjugated oligonucleotides. Aminolinked oligonucleotides may be coupled directly with ligand via the use of coupling reagents or following activation of the ligand as an NHS or pentfluorophenolate ester. Ligand phosphoramidites may be synthesized via the attachment of an aminohexanol linker to one of the carboxyl groups followed by phosphitylation of the terminal alcohol functionality. Other linkers such as cysteamine may also be utilized. for conjugation to a chloroacetyl linker present on a synthesized oligonucleotide.
In one preferred embodiment of the methods of the invention, the preparation of ligand conjugated oligonucleo tides commences with the selection of appropriate precursor molecules upon which to construct the ligand molecule.
Typically the precursor is an appropriately protected derivative of the commonly used nucleosides. For example, the synthetic precursors for the synthesis of the ligand conjugated oligonucleotides of the present invention include, but are not limited to, 2'-6-aminoalkoxy-5'-ODMT-nucleosides, 2'-6-aminoalkylamino-5'-ODMT-nucleosides, 5'-6-aminoalkoxy-2'-deoxy-nucleosides, 5'-6-aminoalkoxy-2'-protected-nucleosides, 3'-6-aminoalkoxy-5'-ODMT-nucleosides, and 3'-aminoalkylamino-5'-ODMT-nucleosides that may be further protected in the nucleobase portion of the molecule. The use of such precursors is anticipated to afford ligand conjugated oligonucleotides where attachment is at one of many possible sites such as the 2', 3' or 5' position of one or more of the nucleoside components of oligonucleotides. Methods for the synthesis of such aminolinked protected nucleoside precursors are known to the art skilled and are available in the literature.
In one embodiment of the invention a conjugated oligonucleotide is prepared starting with a conjugated nucleoside using solid phase chemistries. An oligonucleoside is selected having a serum protein binding ligand attached or optionally linked to one the 2', 3', or 5' positions, a protected hydroxyl at one of the 2', 3', or 5' positions and a free hydroxyl group located at the other one of the 2', 3', or 5' positions. The free hydroxyl group is treated with a bi functional linking moiety and the resulting nucleoside is reacted with a solid support. A representative conjugated nucleoside aattached via a succinyl linker at the 2' -0-position to a solid support (from Example 20) is shown. below:
Pg-O O Bx O O

~N N
H O H
Ligand Linker The ligand is ibuprofen and the linker is a preferred 6-aminohexlyoxy linking group. Bx is a heterocyclic base moiety and Pg is a hydroxyl protecting group. The resulting solid support bound conjugated nucleoside is treated with a weak acid to remove the hydroxyl protecting group and treated with a further nucleoside or nucleotide to form a dimer. In one aspect of the invention the coupling of further nucleosides to form a desired oligonucleotide is performed using phosphoramidite monomers following known methods and procedures.

To the detritylated LCAA-CPG amidite (0.3 mL) and 1-H-tetrazole (0.6 mL, 0.49M) in CH3CN were then delivered. The coupling time was approximately 5 minutes for standard 2'-deoxy phosphoramidites and approximately 14 mininutes for novel phosphoramidites. Amidite was delivered twice per coupling.
Excess amidite was washed away with CH3CN. (2R,8aS)-(+)-(10-camphorsulfonyl) oxaziridine (0.5 mL, 36M) in CH3CN were delivered over four minutes to oxidize the phosphodiester linkages, followed by another CH3CN wash. Unreacted functionalities were capped with a 50:50 mixture (0.2 mL/coupling) of acetic anhydride in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and 1-methylimidazole in THF, followed by an anhydrous CH3CN
wash. Synthesis cycles (including: detritylation, amidite coupling, oxidation and capping) continued until the desired length was reached. Trityl yields were followed by the trityl monitor during the duration of each synthesis. The final DMT group was left intact.
After synthesis oligonucleotides were deprotected and cleaved from the solid support using aqueous concentrated ammonium hydroxide at 55°C for approximately 16 hours.
_77_ Oligonucleotides were then filtered from the solid support and ammonia was evaporated in a Savant AS160 Automatic Speed Vac.
The oligonucleotide crude yield was measured on a Hewlett Packard 8452A Diode Array spectrophotometer at 260 nm. The crude samples were then analyzed for integrity by mass spectrometry (Hewlett Packard electrospray mass spectrometer), capillary gel electrophoresis (Beckmann PACE
system 5000), and high performance liquid chromatography (Waters 600E HPLC system with Waters 991 dete.ctor). Trityl-on oligonucleotides were purified by HPLC (Waters) using reverse phase protocols (HPLC conditions: Waters 600E with 991 detector; Waters C~ Delta Pak column (7.8 X 300 mm, 15 , 300 A); solvent A = 50 mM triethylammonium acetate, pH =

The present invention also includes compositions employing antisense compounds which are chimeric compounds. "Chimeric"
antisense compounds or "chimeras," in the context of this invention, are antisense compounds, particularly oligonucleotides, which contain two or more chemically distinct regions, each made up of at least one monomer unit, i . e. , a nucleotide in the case of an oligonucleotide compound. These cligonucleotides typically contain at least one region wherein the oligonucleotide is modified so as to confer upon the oligonucleotide increased resistance to nuclease degradation, increased cellular uptake, and/or increased binding affinity for the target nucleic acid. An additional region of the oligonucleotide may serve as a substrate for enzymes capable of cleaving RNA: DNA or RNA: RNA hybrids. By way of example, RNase H is a cellular endonuclease which cleaves the RNA strand of an RNA: DNA duplex. Activation of RNase H, therefore, results in cleavage of the RNA target, thereby greatly enhancing the efficiency of oligonucleotide inhibition of gene expression. Consequently, comparable results can often be obtained with shorter oligonucleotides when chimeric oligonucleotides are used, compared to phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides hybridizing to the same target region.
Cleavage of the RNA target can be routinely detected by gel electrophoresis and, if necessary, associated nucleic acid hybridization techniques known in the art. RNase H-mediated target cleavage is distinct from the use of ribozymes to cleave nucleic acids, and ribozymes are not comprehended by the present invention.
By way of example, such "chimeras" may be "gapmers, " i . e. , oligonucleotides in which a central portion (the "gap") of the oligonucleotide serves as a substrate for, e.g., RNase H, and the 5' and 3' portions (the "wings") are modified in such a fashion so as to have greater affinity for, or stability when duplexed with, the target RNA molecule but are unable to support nuclease activity (e. g., 2'-fluoro- or 2'-methoxy-ethoxy-substituted). Other chimeras include "hemimers," that is, oligonucleotides in which the 5' portion of the oligo-nucleotide serves as a substrate for, e.g., RNase H, whereas the 3' portion is modified in such a fashion so as to have greater affinity for, or stability when duplexed with, the target RNA molecule but is unable to support nuclease activity (e. g., 2'-fluoro- or 2'-methoxyethoxy- substituted), or vice-versa.
A number of chemical modifications to oligonucleotides that confer greater oligonucleotide:RNA duplex stability have been described by Freier et al. (Nucl. Acids Res., 1997, 25, 4429). Such modifications are preferred for the RNase H-refractory portions of chimeric oligonucleotides and may generally be used to enhance the affinity of an antisense compound for a target RNA.
Chimeric antisense compounds of the invention may be formed as composite structures of two or more oligonucleotides, modified oligonucleotides, oligonucleosides and/or oligonucleotide mimetics as described above. Such compounds have also been referred to in the art as hybrids or gapmers.
Representative United States patents that teach the preparation of such hybrid structures include, but are not limited to, U . S .

Examples of substantially chirally pure oligonucleotides include, but are not limited to, those having phosphorothioate linkages that are at least 75o Sp or Rp (Cook et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,587,361) and those having substantially chirally pure (Sp or Rp) alkylphosphonate, phosphoramidate or phosphotriester linkages (Cook, U.S. Patents Nos. 5,212,295 and 5,521,302).
The present invention further encompasses ligand conjugated oligonucleotides employing ribozymes. Synthetic RNA
molecules and derivatives thereof that catalyze highly specific endoribonuclease activities are known as ribozymes. (See, generally, U.S. Patent No. 5,543,508 to Haseloff et al., issued August 6, 1996, and U.S. Patent No. 5,545,729 to Goodchild et al., issued August 13, 1996.) The cleavage reactions are catalyzed by the RNA molecules themselves. In naturally occurring RNA molecules, the sites of self-catalyzed cleavage are located within highly conserved regions of RNA secondary structure (Buzayan et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 1986, 83, 8859; Forster et al., Cell, 1987, 50, 9). Naturally occurring autocatalytic RNA molecules have been modified to generate ribozymes which can be targeted to a particular cellular or pathogenic RNA molecule with a high degree of specificity. Thus, ribozymes serve the same general purpose as antisense oligonucleotides (i.e., modulation of expression of a specific gene) and, like oligonucleotides, are nucleic acids possessing significant portions of single-strandedness.
That is, ribozymes have substantial chemical and functional identity with oligonucleotides and are thus considered to be equivalents for purposes of the present invention.
The oligonucleotides used in the conjugates of the present invention may be conveniently and routinely made through the well-known technique of solid phase synthesis.
Equipment for such synthesis is sold by several vendors including, for example, Applied Biosystems (Foster City, CA).
Any other means for such synthesis known in the art may additionally or alternatively be employed. It is also known to use similar techniques to prepare other oligonucleotides such as the phosphorothioates and alkylated derivatives.

In the ligand conjugated oligonucleotides and ligand molecule-bearing sequence-specific linked nucleosides of the present invention, the oligonucleotides and oligonucleosides may be assembled on a suitable DNA synthesizer utilizing standard nucleotide or nucleoside precursors, or nucleotide or nucleoside conjugate precursors that already bear the linking moiety, or ligand-nucleotide or nucleoside conjugate precursors that already bear the ligand molecule.
When using nucleotide conjugate precursors that already bear a linking moiety, the synthesis of the sequence-specific linked nucleosides is typically completed, and the ligand molecule is then reacted with the linking moiety to form the ligand conjugated oligonucleotide. This approach to the synthesis of oligonucleotide conjugates bearing a variety of molecules such as steroids, vitamins, lipids and reporter molecules has previously been described (see Manoharan et al., PCT Application WO 93/07883). In a preferred embodiment the oligonucleotides or linked nucleosides of the present invention are synthesized by an automated synthesizer using phosphor-amidites derived from ligand-nucleoside conjugates in addition to the standard phosphoramidites and non-standard phosphor-amidites that are commercially available and routinely used in oligonucleotide synthesis.
In application serial No. US91/00243, application serial No. 463,358 and application serial No. 566,977, all incorporated herein by reference, it is reported that incorporation of a 2'-O-methyl, 2'-O-ethyl, 2'-0-propyl, 2'-O
allyl, 2'-O-aminoalkyl or 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro group in nucleo sides of an oligonucleotide confers enhanced hybridization properties to the oligonucleotide. It is further reported that oligonucleotides containing phosphorothioate backbones have enhanced nuclease stability. Thus, functionalized, linked nucleosides of the invention can be augmented to further include either or both a phosphorothioate backbone or a 2'-0-methyl, 2'-O-ethyl, 2'-O-propyl, 2'-0-aminoalkyl, 2'-0-allyl or 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro group thereon.
In some preferred embodiments, functionalized nucleoside sequences of the invention possessing an amino group at the 5' -terminus are prepared using a DNA synthesizer, and then reacted with an active ester derivative of a selected ligand. Active ester derivatives are well known to those skilled in the art.
Representative active esters include N-hydrosuccinimide esters, tetrafluorophenolic esters, pentafluorophenolic esters and pentachlorophenolic esters. The reaction of the amino group and the active ester produces an oligonucleotide in which the selected ligand is attached to the 5'-position through a linking group. The amino group at the 5'-terminus can conveniently be prepared utilizing the above noted 5'-Amino-Modifier C6 reagent. In a preferred embodiment, ligand molecules may be conjugated to oligonucleotides at the 5'-position by the use of a ligand-nucleoside phosphoramidite wherein the ligand is linked to the 5'-hydroxy group directly or indirectly via a linker. Such ligand-nucleoside phosphoramidites are typically used at the end of an automated synthesis procedure to provide a ligand conjugated oligonucleotide bearing the ligand at the 5'-terminus.
In further preferred embodiments, functionalized nucleoside sequences of the invention can be prepared wherein a selected ligand is attached to the 3'-terminal amino group using a 3'-amino modified controlled pore glass (sold by Clontech Laboratories Inc., Palo Alto, CA) and subsequent attachment of the ligand is achieved by reaction with a ligand active ester.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the ligand may be attached to the oligonucleotide at the 3'-terminus through the use of an appropriate multifunctional linker such as a universal linker. In this case the ligand is first derivatized with the universal linker and this conjugate then loaded onto a solid support.
Subsequent synthesis of nucleic acids or oligonucleotides on this solid support affords upon cleavage and deprotection the ligand conjugated oligonucleotide bearing a ligand molecule at the 3'-terminus.
In still further preferred embodiments, functionalized sequences of nucleosides and ligand conjugated oligonucleotides of the present invention can be prepared wherein the ligand molecule is attached either directly or via a linking group to any one of the atoms of the nucleobase of any of the nucleoside units of the oligonucleotide. Thus, one or more ligand molecules may be attached to the nucleobase at the 3' -terminus, the 5'-terminus or any position in between. Such attachment can be accomplished, for example, by chemistries described in the literature, and mentioned above. The preferred mode of attachment of ligand molecules to nucleobases is via the intermediacy of an appropriate linker present on a nucleoside precursor. The ligand-nucleoside conjugate is then phosphitylated at the 3'-position to afford a ligand-nucleoside conjugate phosphoramidite which may be used subsequently as a building block together with traditional nucleoside phosphoramidites for the automated synthesis of oligonucleotides. The number and location of insertion of such ligand nucleotide conjugate phosphoramidites will then dictate the number and location of ligand molecules present in the synthesized ligand conjugated oligonucleotide of the present invention.
The present invention also provides ligand conjugated oligonucleotides wherein the ligand molecule is attached to one of the atoms of the internucleotide linkage. One typical internucleotide linkage in nucleic acids and oligonucleotides is the phosphodiester linkage. Numerous modified internucleotide linkages are known in the art including, but not limited to, phosphorothioate, methyl phosphonate, and phosphordithioate, as described above. Ligand molecules may be conjugated at one of the atoms of such internucleotide linkages with or without the intermediacy of a linking group.
Attachment of the ligand molecule may be accomplished in accordance with the methods of the invention either during the preparation of the nucleoside building block such as the phosphoramidite or may be performed during the formation of the internucleotide linkage during oligonucleotide synthesis.
In further preferred embodiments of the invention, the ligand molecule is attached at multiple sites on one oligonucleotide. For example, ligand conjugated oligonucleotides can be prepared wherein one or more ligands are attached to both ends of a linked nucleoside sequence.
Preferably such a structure is prepared by reacting a 3',5'-diamino sequence with a ligand active ester. The required oligonucleoside sequence can be synthesized, for example, utilizing the 3'-Amino-Modifier and the 5'-Amino-Modifier C6 (or Aminolink-2) reagents noted above or by utilizing the above noted 3'-amino modified controlled pore glass reagent in combination with the 5'-Amino-Modifier C2 (or Aminolink-2) reagents. Alternatively, such multiply conjugated oligonucleotides may readily be synthesized according to the methods of the invention using an appropriate ligand-nucleoside conjugate phosphoramidites as and where needed in a given oligonucleotide sequence during automated synthesis.
In still further preferred embodiments of the invention, an oligonucleoside sequence bearing an aminolinker at the 2'-position of one or more selected nucleosides is prepared using a suitably functionalized nucleotide such as, for example, 5'-dimethoxytrityl-2'-O-(~-phthalimidylaminopentyl)-2'-deoxy-adenosine-3'-N,N-diisopropyl-cyanoethoxy phosphoramidite. See the above referenced patent applications serial numbers US91/00243, 566,977 and 463,358. Preferably, the nucleotide or nucleotides are attached to the ligand by reaction with an active ester or a thioisocyanate thereof, at one or more of the nucleoside components of the oligonucleotide.
In yet further preferred embodiments, functionalized nucleoside sequences of the invention can be prepared wherein the heterocyclic base of one or more nucleosides can be linked to a ligand molecule. for example, utilizing 5'-O-dimethoxytrityl-5-[N(7-trifluoroacetylaminoheptyl)-3-acryl-amido]-2'-deoxyuridine 3'-0-(methyl N,N-diisopropyl)phosphor-amide as described by Jablonski et. al. supra (also commercially available from Glen Research) the desired nucleoside, functionalized to incorporate a linking group on its heterocyclic base, is incorporated into the linked nucleoside sequence using a DNA synthesizer.
In further functionalized linked nucleosides of the invention, conjugation (or linking) of ligand molecules is achieved by conjugation of the ligand to the above described amino linking group on the nucleoside. This can be effected in several ways. For example, a ligand-nucleoside conjugate of the invention can be prepared by conjugation of the ligand molecule to the nucleoside using EDC/sulfo-NHS (i.e. 1-ethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropylcarbodiimide/N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide) to conjugate the carboxylate function of the ligand with the amino function of the linking group on the nucleoside.
Ligand conjugated oligonucleotides of the present invention may be prepared by conjugation of the ligand molecule to the nucleoside sequence via a heterobifunctional linker such as m-maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide ester (MBS) or succinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC), to link a nucleophilic position, preferably a thiol, on the ligand molecule to the amino function. of the linking group on nucleoside sequence. By this mechanism, an oligonucleoside-maleimide conjugate is formed by reaction of the amino group of the linker on the linked nucleosides with the MBS or SMCC maleimide linker. The conjugate is then reacted with ligand molecules, preferably those that possess a thiol functionality.
Alternatively, an ligand conjugated oligonucleotide can be prepared by conjugation of the ligand molecule to the oligonucleotide or nucleoside via a homobifunctional linker such as disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS), to link an amino function on the ligand to the amino group of a linker on the oligonucleotide sequence. By this mechanism, an oligonucleoside-succinimidyl conjugate is formed by reaction of the amino group of the linker on the nucleoside sequence with a disuccinimidyl suberate linker. The disuccinimidyl suberate linker couples with the amine linker on the nucleoside to extend the size of the linker. The extended linker is then reacted with an amino group of the ligand molecule.
A number of non-ligand molecules have been conjugated to oligonucleotides in order to enhance the activity, cellular distribution or cellular uptake of the oligonucleotide, and procedures for performing such conjugations are available in the scientific literature. Such non-ligand moieties have included lipid moieties such as cholesterol (Letsinger et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1989, 86:6553), cholic acid (Manoharan et al., Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 1994, 4:1053), a thioether, e.g., hexyl-S-tritylthiol (Manoharan et al., Ann.
N.Y. Acad. Sci., 1992, 660:306; Manoharan et al., Bioorg. Med.
Chem. Let., 1993, 3:2765), a thiocholesterol (Oberhauser et al., Nucl. Acids Res., 1992, 20:533), an aliphatic chain, e.g., dodecandiol or undecyl residues (Saison-Behmoaras et al., EMBO
J. , 1991, 10: 111; Kabanov et al. , FEBS Lett. , 1990, 259: 327;
Svinarchuk et al., Biochimie, 1993, 75:49), a phospholipid, e.g., di-hexadecyl-rac-glycerol or triethylammonium 1,2-di-0-hexadecyl-rac-glycero-3-H-phosphonate (Manoharan et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 1995, 36:3651; Shea et al., Nucl. Acids Res., 1990, 18:3777), a polyamine or a polyethylene glycol chain (Manoharan et al., Nucleosides & Nucleotides, 1995, 14:969), or adamantane acetic acid (Manoharan et al., Tetrahedron Lett., 1995, 36:3651), a palmityl moiety (Mishra et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 1995, 1264:229), or an octadecylamine or hexylamino-carbonyl-oxycholesterol moiety (Crooke et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 1996, 277:923).
Representative United States patents that teach the preparation of such oligonucleotide conjugates have been listed above.
Typical conjugation protocols involve the synthesis of oligonucleotides bearing an aminolinker at one or more positions of the sequence. The amino group is then reacted with the molecule being conjugated using appropriate coupling or activating reagents. The conjugation reaction may be performed either with the oligonucleotide still bound to the solid support or following cleavage of the oligonucleotide in solution phase. Purification of the oligonucleotide conjugate by HPLC typically affords the pure conjugate.
Alternatively, the molecule being conjugated may be converted into a building block such as a phosphoramidite via an alcohol group present in the molecule or by attachment of a linker bearing an alcohol group that may be phosphitylated.
Each of these approaches may be used for the synthesis of ligand conjugated oligonucleotides. Aminolinked oligonucleotides may be coupled directly with ligand via the use of coupling reagents or following activation of the ligand as an NHS or pentfluorophenolate ester. Ligand phosphoramidites may be synthesized via the attachment of an aminohexanol linker to one of the carboxyl groups followed by phosphitylation of the terminal alcohol functionality. Other linkers such as cysteamine may also be utilized. for conjugation to a chloroacetyl linker present on a synthesized oligonucleotide.
In one preferred embodiment of the methods of the invention, the preparation of ligand conjugated oligonucleo tides commences with the selection of appropriate precursor molecules upon which to construct the ligand molecule.
Typically the precursor is an appropriately protected derivative of the commonly used nucleosides. For example, the synthetic precursors for the synthesis of the ligand conjugated oligonucleotides of the present invention include, but are not limited to, 2'-6-aminoalkoxy-5'-ODMT-nucleosides, 2'-6-aminoalkylamino-5'-ODMT-nucleosides, 5'-6-aminoalkoxy-2'-deoxy-nucleosides, 5'-6-aminoalkoxy-2'-protected-nucleosides, 3'-6-aminoalkoxy-5'-ODMT-nucleosides, and 3'-aminoalkylamino-5'-ODMT-nucleosides that may be further protected in the nucleobase portion of the molecule. The use of such precursors is anticipated to afford ligand conjugated oligonucleotides where attachment is at one of many possible sites such as the 2', 3' or 5' position of one or more of the nucleoside components of oligonucleotides. Methods for the synthesis of such aminolinked protected nucleoside precursors are known to the art skilled and are available in the literature.
In one embodiment of the invention a conjugated oligonucleotide is prepared starting with a conjugated nucleoside using solid phase chemistries. An oligonucleoside is selected having a serum protein binding ligand attached or optionally linked to one the 2', 3', or 5' positions, a protected hydroxyl at one of the 2', 3', or 5' positions and a free hydroxyl group located at the other one of the 2', 3', or 5' positions. The free hydroxyl group is treated with a bi functional linking moiety and the resulting nucleoside is reacted with a solid support. A representative conjugated nucleoside aattached via a succinyl linker at the 2' -0-position to a solid support (from Example 20) is shown. below:
Pg-O O Bx O O

~N N
H O H
Ligand Linker The ligand is ibuprofen and the linker is a preferred 6-aminohexlyoxy linking group. Bx is a heterocyclic base moiety and Pg is a hydroxyl protecting group. The resulting solid support bound conjugated nucleoside is treated with a weak acid to remove the hydroxyl protecting group and treated with a further nucleoside or nucleotide to form a dimer. In one aspect of the invention the coupling of further nucleosides to form a desired oligonucleotide is performed using phosphoramidite monomers following known methods and procedures.

The 2'-O-(2-methoxyethyl) phosphoramidites were dissolved in CH3CN (100 mg amidite/1 mL CH3CN). Compound 14 was used as the LCAA-CPG
solid support in the synthesis of SEQ ID N0: 1 (ISIS 22655-1) and SEQ ID N0: 2 (ISIS 27700-1). Compound 20 was used as the LCAA-CPG solid support in the synthesis of SEQ ID N0: 1 (ISIS 22656-1) and SEQ ID N0: 2 (ISIS 27701-1).
Each oligonucleotide was synthesized on an approximately 1 X 2 mol synthesis scale, requiring about 50 mg of derivatized LCAA-CPG for each synthesis. Deprotection of the 5'-hydroxyl groups having a DMT protecting group was performed using trichloroacetic acid (1.2 mL 3o in CH2C12) per phosphoramidite coupling followed by an CH3CN wash. To the detritylated LCAA-CPG amidite (0.3 mL) and 1-H-tetrazole (0.6 mL, 0.49M) in CH3CN were then delivered. The coupling time was approximately 5 minutes for standard 2'-deoxy phosphoramidites and approximately 14 mininutes for novel phosphoramidites. Amidite was delivered twice per coupling.
Excess amidite was washed away with CH3CN. (2R,8aS)-(+)-(10-camphorsulfonyl) oxaziridine (0.5 mL, 36M) in CH3CN were delivered over four minutes to oxidize the phosphodiester linkages, followed by another CH3CN wash. Unreacted functionalities were capped with a 50:50 mixture (0.2 mL/coupling) of acetic anhydride in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and 1-methylimidazole in THF, followed by an anhydrous CH3CN
wash. Synthesis cycles (including: detritylation, amidite coupling, oxidation and capping) continued until the desired length was reached. Trityl yields were followed by the trityl monitor during the duration of each synthesis. The final DMT group was left intact.
After synthesis oligonucleotides were deprotected and cleaved from the solid support using aqueous concentrated ammonium hydroxide at 55°C for approximately 16 hours.
_77_ Oligonucleotides were then filtered from the solid support and ammonia was evaporated in a Savant AS160 Automatic Speed Vac.
The oligonucleotide crude yield was measured on a Hewlett Packard 8452A Diode Array spectrophotometer at 260 nm. The crude samples were then analyzed for integrity by mass spectrometry (Hewlett Packard electrospray mass spectrometer), capillary gel electrophoresis (Beckmann PACE
system 5000), and high performance liquid chromatography (Waters 600E HPLC system with Waters 991 dete.ctor). Trityl-on oligonucleotides were purified by HPLC (Waters) using reverse phase protocols (HPLC conditions: Waters 600E with 991 detector; Waters C~ Delta Pak column (7.8 X 300 mm, 15 , 300 A); solvent A = 50 mM triethylammonium acetate, pH =
7.0; solvent B = 1000 CH3CN; 2.5mL/minute flow rate;

fractions were collected, evaporated to completeness, detritylated in 80o acetic acid in water at room temperature for approximately one hour, and then evaporated once again.
To remove free trityl and excess salt, detritylated oligos were dissolved in aqueous ammonia and passed through Sephadex G-25 resin, using water as solvent. Samples were collected by a Pharmacia LKB Super Frac fraction collector.
The purified oligonucleotides were then analyzed for purity by CGE, MS, and HPLC (flow rate: 1.5 mL/minute, Waters Delta Pak C9 column, 3.9 X 300 mm, 15, 300 A). Final yields were determined by a spectrophotometer at 260 nm.

The 2'-O-(2-methoxyethyl) phosphoramidities were dissolved in CH3CN (100 mg amidite/1 mL CH3CN). Compound 26 was used as the LCAA-CPG
solid support in the synthesis which effected its incorporation at the 3' end of the oligonucleotide.
The oligonucleotide was synthesized on an approximately 2 X 20 umol synthesis scale, requiring approximately 333 mg of derivatized LCAA-CPG each. The DMT protecting groups on the solid support were removed with tRI Chemicalhloroacetic acid ( 10 . 6 mL, 3 0 ) in CH2C12 per coupling followed by an CH3CN

The amidite reagent was delivered four times per coupling. Excess amidite was washed away with CH3CN. (2R, 8aS)-(+)-(10-camphorsulfonyl) oxaziridine (2.40 mL 36.4M) in anhydrous CH3CN was delivered over four minutes to oxidize the phospodiester linkages, followed by another anhydrous CH3CN wash. Unreacted functionalities were capped with a 50:50 mixture (1.40 mL/coupling) of acetic anhydride in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and 1-methylimidazole in THF, followed by an anhydrous CH3CN wash. Trityl yields were followed by the trityl monitor during the duration of a synthesis. The final DMT group was left intact.
Following the synthesis, the oligonucleotides were deprotected and removed from the solid support with concentrated ammonium hydroxide (aq) and methylamine (Aldrich Chemicals, 100, 40 wt. o solution in water) at 55 °C for approximately 16 hours. They were then filtered from the solid support and ammonia was evaporated in a Savant AS160 Automatic Speed Vac.

Example 42 Binding affinity of oligonucleotides to human serum albumin (HSA) Binding curves:
The 5' end of ISIS-27700 was end labeled with 32P using T4 polynucleotide kinase and standard procedures.
Unincorporated label was removed using a G25 column and was confirmed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A fixed concentration of labeled oligonucleotide (50 nM) was incubated with increasing concentrations of human serum albumin (Fraction V, essentially Fatty Acid Free, essentially globulin free, Sigma Chemical Company, St.
Loluis, MO) and incubated at 25° for one hour in PBS plus 0.1 mM EDTA and 0.005° Tween 80. Experiments with longer incubation times demonstrated that full equilibrium was achieved in less than one hour.
Albumin-oligonucleotide mixtures were placed on membranes (Ultrafree-MC 30000, Millipore) and spun very gently at 3000 rpm (725xg) for 3-6 minutes until 200 of the volume had passed through the filter. Aliquots of the initial mix (before filtration) and the filtrates were counted in a scintillation counter. After appropriate correction for background, the concentration of free and bound oligonucleotide was calculated.
The low concentration of oligonucleotide, relative to albumin, allows for detection of binding to only the tightest binding site on the albumin. Thus, the fraction of bound oligonucleotide was plotted versus the total albumin concentration and data were fit to a two state model:
1 s O + A H (OA) where 0 is unbound oligonucleotide, A is unbound albumin, (OA) is the oligonucleotide-albumin complex and KA
is the equilibrium association constant.
Capacity curves:
Capacity curves were measured using a technique similar to that used for the binding curves except a fixed concentration of albumin (50 ~M) was employed and the concentration of labeled oligonucleotide was varied. The average number of moles of oligonucleotide bound per mole of protein, nL, was plotted versus free oligonucleotide concentration and fit to a model with two classes of binding sites, each with ni binding sites per protein and association constant, Ki.
Results:
Oligonucleotides tested are listed in Table XII. A
comparison was made between an unmodified deoxy diester oligonucleotide (8651) and its 3' ibuprofen conjugate (22655) and a uniformly 2'-0-methoxy-ethyl modified phosphodiester oligonucleotide (11158) and its 3' ibuprofen conjugate (27700). As seen in Figure 1 and Table XIII, binding of the unconjugated controls was very weak (KD>200 ~M). Addition of the ibuprofen conjugate increased the affinity substantially. Binding of the phosphodiester conjugates was comparable to that of phosphorothioate DNA
oligonucleotides which are among the tightest.binding of all modified oligonucleotides (data not shown). The capacity of HSA for the ibuprofen conjugate was also measured. Binding ratios of 0.75:1 (oligonucleotide: albumin) were achieved for the conjugate. 'This contrasts to unconjugated oligonucleotides where maximum capacity observed was 0.2:1.
Conclusion:
Phosphodiester oligonucleotides (both 2'-deoxy and 2'-O-methoxyethyl) bound to HSA with weak affinity (KD > 200 uM). Phosphorothioate oligonucleotides, in contrast, had greater affinities (KD3-30 uM). Addition of an ibuprofen conjugate to the 3' end of a phosphodiester oligonucleotide increased the affinity into the range typical for phosphorothioate oligonucleotides. It was seen that the capacity of HSA for the ibuprofen conjugate was much greater than that for unconjugated oligonucleotides.

To determine the effect of conjugating a cholesterol group at the 3'-position of a uniform 2'-MOE-phosphodiester 20mer antisense oligonucleotide both the conjugated as well as the non-conjugated oligonucleotides were prepared. All of the cytosine bases were 5-methylcytosines and all ribosyl sugars were 2'-O-MOE with the exception of the 3'-terminal nucleoside having the cholesterol attached which was a 2'-hydroxycytidine. Attachment of the cholesterol group was via a 6-aminohexyloxy linker at the 3' position of the conjugated oligonucleotide. The cholesterol molecule is attached to the amino group of the linker via a carbamate linkage.
The plasma concentration of the cholesterol conjugated oligonucleotide (3H, ISIS-16296) was compared to the parent oligonucleotide (3H, ISIS-16952, Figure 2). The study was performed in male Sprague-Dawley rats using I.V. bolus administration of 3H radiolabeled oligonucleotides. The plasma concentration was maintained at a higher level and was reduced at a slower rate for the conjugated oligonucleotide.
The tissue distribution of the two radio labeled oligonucleotides was examined in Sprague-Dawley rats following I.V. bolus administration (Figure 3). Almost all of the parent oligonucleotide was seen in the kidney cortex after 24 hours and only baseline amounts of oligonucleotide was seen in the other major organs tested (plasma, liver, spleen, small intestine, large intestine and mesent LN. The distribution profile for the conjugated oligonucleotide showed distribution to all the organs in much higher concentrations that the parent oligonucleotide.
The percent of the dose excreted through the urine was calculated for 0-6 and 6-24 hours for the parent and conjugated oligonucleotides (Figure 4). About 380 of the parent oligonucleotide or metabolites thereof was excreted within the first 6 hours of administration. Only about 50 of the conjugated oligonucleotide was excreted during the same time periods.
In a similar study, SEQ ID N0: 5 (ISIS-3082) was prepared along with 5 z for a variety of comparative pharmacokinetic studies including protein binding. The parent compound a 20mer phosphorothioate was compared with the phosphorothioate and phosphodiester 2'-propoxy analogs, a chimeric analog having 2'-propoxy diester wings and a phosphorothioate deoxy center, and 5'-octadecylamine and 5'-(2'-0-hexylamino-carbonyl-oxy-cholesterol) phosphorothioate analogs. This study, in part, reported decreased excretion of the cholesterol modified oligonucleotide relative to the parent phosphorothioate oligonucleotide (Crooke et al., The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 1996, 277:923-937).
Example 53 Effect of conjugation on 2'-methoxyethoxy-substituted phosphodiester (PO/MOE) oligonucleotides It was observed that a PO/MOE-cholesterol conjugated oligonucleotide (16296) exhibited improved binding compared to the PO/MOE analog (16952), but is still a weak binder compared to the 2'-methoxyethoxy-substituted phosphorothioate (PS/MOE) oligonucleotide (11159). The PO/MOE-ibuprofen conjugate (27700), however, not only exhibited improved binding compared to the unconjugated PO/MOE analog (16952), but also showed tighter binding that the PS analog (3067) or the PS/MOE analog (11159). These results are shown below in Table XVI.

Among the various phenothiazine ligands, 2-chloro-10-(2-carboxyethyl)-phenothiazine was selected as a conjugated ligand for illustrative purposes. 2-chloro-10-(2-carboxyethyl)-phenothiazine (Melikian et al., J. Pharm.
Sci,. 1977, 66:228, 1977) is converted to pentafluorophenyl ester using pentafluorophenol and DCC. This compound is then condensed with 3'-O-(6-aminohexyl)-5'-O-DMT uridine and further converted to its controlled pore glass derivative.
Oligonucleotides are synthesized from the controlled pore glass as described for other examples.

Peptide I RIARGDFPDDRK (SEQ ID N0: 8)(an RGD
peptide) Peptide II DELAEGGGVRGPRV (SEQ ID NO: 9) These peptides were synthesized in the solid phase synthesizers. At the amino terminal end, 6-hexene-carboxylic acid is coupled. After deprotection of the peptide, the olefinic linkage is converted into an aldehyde using Os04/N-methyl-morpholine oxide followed by NaI04 oxidation. The aldehyde containing peptide is conjugated to -0-NH2 linked oligonucleotides. Surface plasmon resonance experiments indicated that these peptide conjugated oligonucleotides bind to cell surface integrins.

The 2'-O-(2-methoxyethyl) phosphoramidities were dissolved in CH3CN (100 mg amidite/1 mL CH3CN). Compound 26 was used as the LCAA-CPG
solid support in the synthesis which effected its incorporation at the 3' end of the oligonucleotide.
The oligonucleotide was synthesized on an approximately 2 X 20 umol synthesis scale, requiring approximately 333 mg of derivatized LCAA-CPG each. The DMT protecting groups on the solid support were removed with tRI Chemicalhloroacetic acid ( 10 . 6 mL, 3 0 ) in CH2C12 per coupling followed by an CH3CN
wash. To the detritylated LCAA-CPG, amidite (1.20 mL) and 1-H-tetrazole (1.80 mL, 0.49M) in CH3CN were then delivered (total coupling time of approximately 24 minutes for novel amidites.) The amidite reagent was delivered four times per coupling. Excess amidite was washed away with CH3CN. (2R, 8aS)-(+)-(10-camphorsulfonyl) oxaziridine (2.40 mL 36.4M) in anhydrous CH3CN was delivered over four minutes to oxidize the phospodiester linkages, followed by another anhydrous CH3CN wash. Unreacted functionalities were capped with a 50:50 mixture (1.40 mL/coupling) of acetic anhydride in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and 1-methylimidazole in THF, followed by an anhydrous CH3CN wash. Trityl yields were followed by the trityl monitor during the duration of a synthesis. The final DMT group was left intact.
Following the synthesis, the oligonucleotides were deprotected and removed from the solid support with concentrated ammonium hydroxide (aq) and methylamine (Aldrich Chemicals, 100, 40 wt. o solution in water) at 55 °C for approximately 16 hours. They were then filtered from the solid support and ammonia was evaporated in a Savant AS160 Automatic Speed Vac.
Oligonucleotide crude yield was measured on a Hewlett Packard 8452A Diode Array spectrophotometer at 260 nm. The crude samples were then analyzed for integrity by mass spectrometry (Hewlett Packard electrospray mass spectrometer), capillary gel electrophoresis (Beckmann PACE
system 5000), and high performance liquid chromatography (Waters 600E HPLC system with Waters 991 detector). Trityl-on oligonucleotides were purified on the Waters HPLC system by reverse phase as illustrated above. (HPLC conditions:

Example 42 Binding affinity of oligonucleotides to human serum albumin (HSA) Binding curves:
The 5' end of ISIS-27700 was end labeled with 32P using T4 polynucleotide kinase and standard procedures.
Unincorporated label was removed using a G25 column and was confirmed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A fixed concentration of labeled oligonucleotide (50 nM) was incubated with increasing concentrations of human serum albumin (Fraction V, essentially Fatty Acid Free, essentially globulin free, Sigma Chemical Company, St.
Loluis, MO) and incubated at 25° for one hour in PBS plus 0.1 mM EDTA and 0.005° Tween 80. Experiments with longer incubation times demonstrated that full equilibrium was achieved in less than one hour.
Albumin-oligonucleotide mixtures were placed on membranes (Ultrafree-MC 30000, Millipore) and spun very gently at 3000 rpm (725xg) for 3-6 minutes until 200 of the volume had passed through the filter. Aliquots of the initial mix (before filtration) and the filtrates were counted in a scintillation counter. After appropriate correction for background, the concentration of free and bound oligonucleotide was calculated.
The low concentration of oligonucleotide, relative to albumin, allows for detection of binding to only the tightest binding site on the albumin. Thus, the fraction of bound oligonucleotide was plotted versus the total albumin concentration and data were fit to a two state model:
1 s O + A H (OA) where 0 is unbound oligonucleotide, A is unbound albumin, (OA) is the oligonucleotide-albumin complex and KA
is the equilibrium association constant.
Capacity curves:
Capacity curves were measured using a technique similar to that used for the binding curves except a fixed concentration of albumin (50 ~M) was employed and the concentration of labeled oligonucleotide was varied. The average number of moles of oligonucleotide bound per mole of protein, nL, was plotted versus free oligonucleotide concentration and fit to a model with two classes of binding sites, each with ni binding sites per protein and association constant, Ki.
Results:
Oligonucleotides tested are listed in Table XII. A
comparison was made between an unmodified deoxy diester oligonucleotide (8651) and its 3' ibuprofen conjugate (22655) and a uniformly 2'-0-methoxy-ethyl modified phosphodiester oligonucleotide (11158) and its 3' ibuprofen conjugate (27700). As seen in Figure 1 and Table XIII, binding of the unconjugated controls was very weak (KD>200 ~M). Addition of the ibuprofen conjugate increased the affinity substantially. Binding of the phosphodiester conjugates was comparable to that of phosphorothioate DNA
oligonucleotides which are among the tightest.binding of all modified oligonucleotides (data not shown). The capacity of HSA for the ibuprofen conjugate was also measured. Binding ratios of 0.75:1 (oligonucleotide: albumin) were achieved for the conjugate. 'This contrasts to unconjugated oligonucleotides where maximum capacity observed was 0.2:1.
Conclusion:
Phosphodiester oligonucleotides (both 2'-deoxy and 2'-O-methoxyethyl) bound to HSA with weak affinity (KD > 200 uM). Phosphorothioate oligonucleotides, in contrast, had greater affinities (KD3-30 uM). Addition of an ibuprofen conjugate to the 3' end of a phosphodiester oligonucleotide increased the affinity into the range typical for phosphorothioate oligonucleotides. It was seen that the capacity of HSA for the ibuprofen conjugate was much greater than that for unconjugated oligonucleotides.

To determine the effect of conjugating a cholesterol group at the 3'-position of a uniform 2'-MOE-phosphodiester 20mer antisense oligonucleotide both the conjugated as well as the non-conjugated oligonucleotides were prepared. All of the cytosine bases were 5-methylcytosines and all ribosyl sugars were 2'-O-MOE with the exception of the 3'-terminal nucleoside having the cholesterol attached which was a 2'-hydroxycytidine. Attachment of the cholesterol group was via a 6-aminohexyloxy linker at the 3' position of the conjugated oligonucleotide. The cholesterol molecule is attached to the amino group of the linker via a carbamate linkage.
The plasma concentration of the cholesterol conjugated oligonucleotide (3H, ISIS-16296) was compared to the parent oligonucleotide (3H, ISIS-16952, Figure 2). The study was performed in male Sprague-Dawley rats using I.V. bolus administration of 3H radiolabeled oligonucleotides. The plasma concentration was maintained at a higher level and was reduced at a slower rate for the conjugated oligonucleotide.
The tissue distribution of the two radio labeled oligonucleotides was examined in Sprague-Dawley rats following I.V. bolus administration (Figure 3). Almost all of the parent oligonucleotide was seen in the kidney cortex after 24 hours and only baseline amounts of oligonucleotide was seen in the other major organs tested (plasma, liver, spleen, small intestine, large intestine and mesent LN. The distribution profile for the conjugated oligonucleotide showed distribution to all the organs in much higher concentrations that the parent oligonucleotide.
The percent of the dose excreted through the urine was calculated for 0-6 and 6-24 hours for the parent and conjugated oligonucleotides (Figure 4). About 380 of the parent oligonucleotide or metabolites thereof was excreted within the first 6 hours of administration. Only about 50 of the conjugated oligonucleotide was excreted during the same time periods.
In a similar study, SEQ ID N0: 5 (ISIS-3082) was prepared along with 5 z for a variety of comparative pharmacokinetic studies including protein binding. The parent compound a 20mer phosphorothioate was compared with the phosphorothioate and phosphodiester 2'-propoxy analogs, a chimeric analog having 2'-propoxy diester wings and a phosphorothioate deoxy center, and 5'-octadecylamine and 5'-(2'-0-hexylamino-carbonyl-oxy-cholesterol) phosphorothioate analogs. This study, in part, reported decreased excretion of the cholesterol modified oligonucleotide relative to the parent phosphorothioate oligonucleotide (Crooke et al., The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 1996, 277:923-937).
Example 53 Effect of conjugation on 2'-methoxyethoxy-substituted phosphodiester (PO/MOE) oligonucleotides It was observed that a PO/MOE-cholesterol conjugated oligonucleotide (16296) exhibited improved binding compared to the PO/MOE analog (16952), but is still a weak binder compared to the 2'-methoxyethoxy-substituted phosphorothioate (PS/MOE) oligonucleotide (11159). The PO/MOE-ibuprofen conjugate (27700), however, not only exhibited improved binding compared to the unconjugated PO/MOE analog (16952), but also showed tighter binding that the PS analog (3067) or the PS/MOE analog (11159). These results are shown below in Table XVI.

Among the various phenothiazine ligands, 2-chloro-10-(2-carboxyethyl)-phenothiazine was selected as a conjugated ligand for illustrative purposes. 2-chloro-10-(2-carboxyethyl)-phenothiazine (Melikian et al., J. Pharm.
Sci,. 1977, 66:228, 1977) is converted to pentafluorophenyl ester using pentafluorophenol and DCC. This compound is then condensed with 3'-O-(6-aminohexyl)-5'-O-DMT uridine and further converted to its controlled pore glass derivative.
Oligonucleotides are synthesized from the controlled pore glass as described for other examples.

Peptide I RIARGDFPDDRK (SEQ ID N0: 8)(an RGD
peptide) Peptide II DELAEGGGVRGPRV (SEQ ID NO: 9) These peptides were synthesized in the solid phase synthesizers. At the amino terminal end, 6-hexene-carboxylic acid is coupled. After deprotection of the peptide, the olefinic linkage is converted into an aldehyde using Os04/N-methyl-morpholine oxide followed by NaI04 oxidation. The aldehyde containing peptide is conjugated to -0-NH2 linked oligonucleotides. Surface plasmon resonance experiments indicated that these peptide conjugated oligonucleotides bind to cell surface integrins.
