Abstract
Two unsymmetrical dinucleotide phosphate triesters were synthesized via transesterification from tris(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) phosphate. The protected triesters were phosphytilated to generate phosphoramidites for solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis. Neutral phenylethyl phosphate-modified short-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) were synthesized and evaluated for their gene-silencing ability, siRNA strand selection, and resistance to nucleases. These backbone-modified phosphate triester siRNAs offer many improvements compared to natural unmodified siRNAs.Entities:
