Definitions
- Oligonucleotide coniuqate Compositions and methods for cleaving ribonuccinic acids.
- the present invention relates to oligonucleotide conjugates with transesterification or hydrolysis catalysts, the oligonucleotide sequence of which is sometimes not complementary to a naturally occurring target ribonucleic acid (target RNA); a method for the sequence-specific cleavage of a target RNA under physiological conditions and under the action of the oligonucleotide associate; a composition of an inert carrier material and the oligonucleotide associate; as well as its use.
- target RNA target ribonucleic acid
- LS Kappen et al. describe in Biochemistry, volume 32, pages 13138 to 13145 (1993) that in the oxidative cleavage of single- or double-stranded DNA with neocarzinostatin, a sequence-specific cleavage occurs when, for example, unpaired regions lead to a bulge in a DNA strand.
- D. Williams et al. in Nucieic Acids Research, Volume 16, pages 11607 to 11615 (1988) disclose that in the hydrolytic reaction of double-stranded DNA with copper phenantroline, the cleavage preferably takes place at sites which additionally contain an unpaired cytidine in the chain.
- DE-A-2451 358 already describes that when mimicking the production of interferon with a double-stranded (rl n .rC n ) complex, the toxicity is reduced while maintaining the production of interferon if one modifies the rC n chain causes structural disturbances, so that the rC n chain in the cells is more easily hydrolyzed by nucleases.
- the introduction of a nucleotide that prevents pair formation in the complex is proposed as a structural disorder.
- KA Kolasa in Inorg. Chem., Volume 32, pages 3983 to 3984 (1993) indicate that RNA in DNA-RNA hybrids are not cleaved by trivalent lanthanide ions.
- the imine groups of the ligand are susceptible to hydrolysis, so that the effectiveness in aqueous environments wears off relatively quickly, or the residence time is too short for therapeutic use.
- the hydrolysis of the ligand also releases the metal, which can cause serious toxic problems and unspecific cleavage of RNA.
- they are weak Lewis acids because a charge of the Eu cation is neutralized by a ligand and there is therefore a double-charged complex.
- the complexes described are also only accessible through synthetically complex processes.
- WO 94/29316 discloses a method for phosphate ester hydrolysis using conjugates of an oligonucleotide with a texaphyrin-metal complex.
- conjugates which contain dysprosium (III) as the metal and whose oligonucleotide sequence is selected such that the binding of the oligonucleotide sequence to a target RNA causes a "loop" of one or more nucleotides in the latter.
- oligonucleotides the sequence of which is only partially complementary to a target RNA and to which a transesterification catalyst or hydrolysis catalyst is bound, are highly effective and it is even possible to achieve sequence-specific cleavages in a target RNA. It was also found that, under comparable reaction conditions, considerably less oligonucleotide transesterification catalyst is required than free transesterification catalyst that is not bound to an oligonucleotide.
- the cleavage of the target RNA in the double-strand region greatly increases the instability of the RNA / oligonucleotide complex after cleaving the RNA and facilitates the breakdown into the free RNA fragments and the free conjugate of oligonucleotide and hydrolysis or transesterification catalyst. As a result, the conjugate can develop catalytic activity and the amounts used can be considerably reduced.
- An object of the invention is an oligonucleotide of deoxyribonuclear nucleotides (NA), unnatural synthetic nucleotides, or peptide nucleic acids PNA, which is characterized in that a transesterification or hydrolysis catalyst is bound to the oligonucleotide, and the internal sequence of the oligonucleotide is in some cases not complementary to a natural one occurring target RNA.
- NA deoxyribonuclear nucleotides
- PNA peptide nucleic acids
- target RNA means that an RNA sequence must be present in the target.
- polyribonucleic acids can be present. It is preferably m-RNA (messenger RNA), pre-m-RNA (pre-er-m-RNA) t-RNA Transfer RNA), sn-RNA (small nuclear RNA), r-RNA (ribosomal RNA) and viral RNA.
- RNA polydeoxyribonucleic acids
- DNA polydeoxyribonucleic acids
- the RNA has so many building blocks that a complex (double strand) can be formed with the oligonucleotide.
- the sequence of the oligonucleotide contains a structural disturbance, so that no base pairing takes place with corresponding nucleotide building blocks of the target RNA (for example base pairing means the following complementary nucleosides in the target RNA and in the oligonucleotide : AU, T / U-A, GC and CG).
- the sequence of the oligonucleotide, which is otherwise complementary to the target RNA lacks one or more successive nucleotide building blocks. As a result, a bulge is formed in the target RNA, which is particularly transesterification and / or hydrolysis instabii.
- the oligonucleotide contains one or more successive nucleotide building blocks which do not pair with the corresponding nucleotide building blocks of the target RNA. Due to the structural disturbance in the double helix, the RNA in these areas is unstable to transesterification and / or hydrolysis reactions.

- the oligonucleotide contains 1 to 10, particularly preferably 1 to 4 and very particularly preferably 1 or 2 consecutive non-pairing nucleotide building blocks (in English these structural disorders are referred to as mismatch and infernal loop).
- inner sequence means that, for example, up to 10, preferably up to 5, particularly preferably up to 3 and very particularly preferably 1 or 2 of the outer nucleotide building blocks of the sequence need not be complementary to the target RNA. This can be advantageous in that a transesterification or hydrolysis catalyst bound at the end of a sequence can be more flexible and therefore more efficient.
- the oligonucleotide can be constructed partially or completely from natural DNA building blocks which are complementary to the target RNA or completely from unnatural synthetic nucleotides which are also complementary to the target RNA, where in some cases means that in the oligonucleotide sequence natural DNA building blocks complementary to the target RNA complementary unnatural synthetic nucleotides are also replaced.
- Synthetic building blocks include the modifications of natural building blocks in the nucleus base, the furanose ring and / or the bridging groups of the oligonucleotides. Synthetic building blocks are generally used to strengthen the complex binding in duplex structures and / or to increase the stability of the oligonucleotides against the degradation caused by, for example, nucleases.
- Modifications include modifications in the nucleic base part (for example substitutions, omission of substituents), in the nucleotide bridge group (for example modification of the phosphoric acid ester group or their replacement by other bridge groups) and in furanose ring (for example substitutions on the 2'-hydroxyl group, replacement of the furanose group). O atoms, replacement of the furano ring with mono- or bicarbacyc rings, replacement of the furano ring with open-chain structures) into question.
- the choice and the order of the building blocks in the sequence of the oligonucleotide is determined by the necessary duplex formation with a target RNA.
- the type and location of the link to the catalyst can also influence the choice and the order of the building blocks.
- the non-pairing nucleotides can be natural nucleotides that are selected so that they are non-complementary to nucleotides in the target RNA (according to the Watson / Crick definition, for example, pairs such as AA, UU, AG, AC, G- T, TU).
- the non-pairing nucleotides can also be unnatural, synthetic nucleotides. These nucleotides can be modified on the nucleotide base, the nucleotide phosphoric acid ester bridge or the furanose ring.

- the oligonucleotide can also consist of sequences of peptide nucleic acids (PNA), the catalyst preferably being bound to the nucleic acid base, the amino or the carboxyl end.
- the nucleic bases are bound to the amide N atoms of the peptide sequence.
- the complementary sequence can consist of natural or unnatural synthetic amino acid building blocks, and the non-complementary property can be achieved as described above by omitting building blocks or by incorporating non-complementary building blocks.
