preparation example Construction

[0064] Generally speaking, the synthetic method of oligonucleotide molecule comprises the following four steps: (1) synthesis of oligoribonucleotide; (2) deprotection; (3) purification and separation; (4) desalting.

[0065] For example, the chemical synthesis steps of siRNA having the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 are as follows:

[0066] (1) Synthesis of siRNA constituent strands: set the sense strand or antisense strand oligonucleotide sequence of synthetic 1 millimolar amount of siRNA on the automatic DNA / RNA synthesizer (for example, Applied Biosystems EXPEDITE8909), set each The coupling time of each cycle is 10-15 minutes. The starting material is 5'-O-dimethoxy-thymidine support connected to the solid phase. The first cycle connects a base to the solid phase support. , and then in the nth (2≤n≤35) cycle, a base is connected to the base connected in the n-1th cycle, and this cycle is repeated until the synthesis of the entire nucleic acid sequence is complet...

Abstract

The invention provides a chemically modified double-strand small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecule and its preparation and application methods. Chemically modified nucleotide is introduced into the 14th site or / and 16th site beginning from 5' terminal of the siRNA molecular sense strand, thereby reducing the off-target effect caused by the modified siRNA molecular sense strand and enhancing specificity of the modified siRNA molecule for silence of target gene expression.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nucleic acids, in particular to a chemically modified double-stranded small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecule capable of reducing the off-target effect of the sense strand and a preparation method thereof, and the application of the modified siRNA molecule in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions . Background technique [0002] RNA interference (RNA interference, RNAi) is a phenomenon in which double-stranded RNA molecules (double-stranded RNA, dsRNA) reduce the expression of homologous genes at the mRNA level. RNA interference technology, also known as gene knockdown (knock-down) or gene silencing (gene silencing), is a post-transcriptional gene expression regulation method, so it is also called post-transcriptional gene silencing (post-transcriptional gene silencing) , PTGS). The earliest reports on RNA interference appeared around 1990. Two different research groups simultaneously reported th...
