Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
159 words
A method for synthesizing a phosphorothioate oligonucleotide wherein the 5' terminal nucleotide is modified by direct attachment of a polyamine to the oligonucleotide comprising: synthesizing a phosphorothioate oligonucleotide having a 3' and a 5' end and having a selected sequence of from about 5 to about 50 nucleic acid bases; oxidizing the 5' hydroxyl moiety of a nucleoside to form a 5'-aldehydic nucleoside; protecting the aldehydic species of said 5'-aldehydic nucleoside; phosphitylating said protected 5'-aldehydic nucleoside to form a 3' phosphitylated protected 5'-aldehydic nucleoside; adding said phosphitylated nucleoside to the 5' end of said phosphorothioate oligonucleotide to produce a modified phosphorothioate oligonucleotide; deprotecting the 5' end of said modified phosphorothioate oligonucleotide; treating said modified oligonucleotide with a polyamine to form a Schiff's base adduct appended to the deprotected 5' end of said modified oligonucleotide; and reducing said Schiff's base adduct to form a polyamine species attached via a nitrogen-carbon covalent bond to the 5' end of said modified oligonucleotide.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
159 words
A method for synthesizing a phosphorothioate oligonucleotide wherein the 5' terminal nucleotide is modified by direct attachment of a polyamine to the oligonucleotide comprising: synthesizing a phosphorothioate oligonucleotide having a 3' and a 5' end and having a selected sequence of from about 5 to about 50 nucleic acid bases; oxidizing the 5' hydroxyl moiety of a nucleoside to form a 5'-aldehydic nucleoside; protecting the aldehydic species of said 5'-aldehydic nucleoside; phosphitylating said protected 5'-aldehydic nucleoside to form a 3' phosphitylated protected 5'-aldehydic nucleoside; adding said phosphitylated nucleoside to the 5' end of said phosphorothioate oligonucleotide to produce a modified phosphorothioate oligonucleotide; deprotecting the 5' end of said modified phosphorothioate oligonucleotide; treating said modified oligonucleotide with a polyamine to form a Schiff's base adduct appended to the deprotected 5' end of said modified oligonucleotide; and reducing said Schiff's base adduct to form a polyamine species attached via a nitrogen-carbon covalent bond to the 5' end of said modified oligonucleotide.

Claim 8
Independent Claim
162 words
A method for synthesizing a phosphorothioate oligonucleotide wherein the 5' terminal nucleotide is modified by direct attachment of a polyamine to the oligonucleotide comprising: oxidizing the 5' hydroxyl moiety of a nucleoside to form a 5'-aldehyde nucleoside; protecting the aldehydic species of said 5'-aldehydic nucleoside; phosphitylating said protected 5'-aldehydic nucleoside to form a 3' phosphitylated protected 5'-aldehydic nucleoside; deprotecting said 3' phosphitylated 5' aldehydic nucleoside; treating said 3'60 phosphitylated 5'-aldehydic nucleoside with a polyamine to form a Schiff's base adduct appended to the 5' end of said 3' phosphitylated 5'-aldehydic nucleoside; reducing said Schiff's base adduct to form a 3' phosphitylated 5' polyamine nucleoside species wherein said polyamine is attached to said 3' phosphitylated nucleoside via a nitrogen-carbon covalent bond; synthesizing a phosphorothioate oligonucleotide having a 3' and a 5' end and having a selected sequence of from about 5 to about 50 nucleic acid bases; and adding said 3' phosphitylated 5' polyamine nucleoside to the 5' end of said phosphorothioate oligonucleotide.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
162 words
A method for synthesizing a phosphorothioate oligonucleotide wherein the 5' terminal nucleotide is modified by direct attachment of a polyamine to the oligonucleotide comprising: oxidizing the 5' hydroxyl moiety of a nucleoside to form a 5'-aldehyde nucleoside; protecting the aldehydic species of said 5'-aldehydic nucleoside; phosphitylating said protected 5'-aldehydic nucleoside to form a 3' phosphitylated protected 5'-aldehydic nucleoside; deprotecting said 3' phosphitylated 5' aldehydic nucleoside; treating said 3'60 phosphitylated 5'-aldehydic nucleoside with a polyamine to form a Schiff's base adduct appended to the 5' end of said 3' phosphitylated 5'-aldehydic nucleoside; reducing said Schiff's base adduct to form a 3' phosphitylated 5' polyamine nucleoside species wherein said polyamine is attached to said 3' phosphitylated nucleoside via a nitrogen-carbon covalent bond; synthesizing a phosphorothioate oligonucleotide having a 3' and a 5' end and having a selected sequence of from about 5 to about 50 nucleic acid bases; and adding said 3' phosphitylated 5' polyamine nucleoside to the 5' end of said phosphorothioate oligonucleotide.
