The present invention describes the combination of thermally stabilizing and destabilizing chem. modifications and sequence alterations incorporated in specific regions of the duplex to optimize the thermodn. profile of a given siRNA duplex and to further improve its silencing activity. The average internal stability profile of highly active siRNAs is highly specific and clearly distinguishable from non-functional ones. With large numbers of possible siRNAs against a given target, it is generally possible to identify potent siRNAs with a close-to-optimal thermodn. profile. However in many cases, the number of possible siRNAs against a given target RNA is limited due to short target RNA sequence or poor sequence homol. across species (for cross-reactive siRNAs). In these cases, modulating the thermal stability of the duplex by selectively placing thermally stabilizing and/or destabilizing modifications could be particularly useful to generate active siRNAs. The choice of modification and their position will depend on the thermodn. profile of the siRNA to be modified. Thermally destabilizing chem. modifications such as abasic residues, universal bases with reduced or abolished capability to form hydrogen bonds with opposing bases (e.g. 2,4-difluorotoluyl, 5-nitroindole), or unlocked nucleic acids in the low thermal stability region of the duplex (e.g., region around the cleavage site or within the 5′-half of the antisense strand), or the placement of one or more mismatches in this low thermal stability region or both, in addition to chem. modifications, such as locked nucleic acid or 2′-modified RNA, to further stabilize the high thermal stability region at or near the 3′-end of the antisense strand will improve the potency of siRNA, including the silencing activity of siRNA. Thus, IC50 values are derived using results from HeLa cell-based PTEN assay is siRNAs targeting firefly luciferase. The results confirm that local destabilization of the central region of the sense strand with mismatch base pairings or modified nucleobases can lead to substantial potency enhancements. For this particular sequence, mismatched base pairings or introduction of 2,4-difluorotoluyl ribonucleotide in positions 9 and 10 were found to significantly enhance potency over the parent unmodified compound This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as (2R,3S,4R,5R)-2-(Hydroxymethyl)-5-(9H-purin-9-yl)tetrahydrofuran-3,4-diol (cas: 550-33-4Related Products of 550-33-4).
