Abstract
This article describes the detailed synthetic protocol for the preparation of oligonucleotides containing 2-guanidinoethyl-2'-deoxynebularine and 2-ureidoethyl-2'-deoxynebularine nucleoside derivatives. These derivatives are obtained by a post-synthetic modification of triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) containing 2-aminoethyl-2'-deoxynebularine, which is useful for forming stable triplex DNA with duplex DNA sequences containing 5m CG and CG interrupting sites. The hydroxyl groups of the sugar moiety of commercially available 2'-deoxyguanosine are acetyl-protected, the 6-position is chlorinated and reduced to give a 2-substituted nebularine derivative, and then the sugar moiety is deprotected. The hydroxyl groups of the sugar moiety are silyl-protected and the amino group at the 2-position is iodinated before being coupled with diethyl malonate. The ethyl ester is reduced and the resulting alcohol converted to an amino group for protection. The compound is then converted to a phosphoramidite unit and incorporated into a TFO. Subsequent modification of the aminoethyl group on the TFO completes the synthesis of the oligonucleotides containing 2-guanidinoethyl-2'-deoxynebularine and 2-ureidoethyl-2'-deoxynebularine. © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Abstract
Selenium, originally described as a toxin, turns out to be a crucial trace element for life that appears as selenocysteine and its dimer, selenocystine. From the point of view of drug developments, selenium-containing drugs are isosteres of sulfur and oxygen with the advantage that the presence of the selenium atom confers antioxidant properties and high lipophilicity, which would increase cell membrane permeation leading to better oral bioavailability. In this article, we have focused on the relevant features of the selenium atom, above all, the corresponding synthetic approaches to access a variety of organoselenium molecules along with the proposed reaction mechanisms. The preparation and biological properties of selenosugars, including selenoglycosides, selenonucleosides, selenopeptides, and other selenium-containing compounds will be treated. We have attempted to condense the most important aspects and interesting examples of the chemistry of selenium into a single article.

Abstract
Oligonucleotide-based therapeutics have attracted attention as an emerging modality that includes the modulation of genes and their binding proteins related to diseases, allowing us to take action on previously undruggable targets. Since the late 2010s, the number of oligonucleotide medicines approved for clinical uses has dramatically increased. Various chemistry-based technologies have been developed to improve the therapeutic properties of oligonucleotides, such as chemical modification, conjugation, and nanoparticle formation, which can increase nuclease resistance, enhance affinity and selectivity to target sites, suppress off-target effects, and improve pharmacokinetic properties. Similar strategies employing modified nucleobases and lipid nanoparticles have been used for developing coronavirus disease 2019 mRNA vaccines. In this review, we provide an overview of the development of chemistry-based technologies aimed at using nucleic acids for developing therapeutics over the past several decades, with a specific emphasis on the structural design and functionality of chemical modification strategies.

Abstract
Naturally occurring 5-hydroxycytosine (5-OHCyt), which is associated with DNA damage, was recently found to reduce the hepatotoxicity of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) without compromising its antisense activity when used as a replacement for cytosine (Cyt). Additionally, sugar-modified nucleic acids, such as 2'-O-methylribonucleic acid (2'-OMe-RNA) and 2'-O,4'-C-spirocyclopropylene-bridged nucleic acid (scpBNA), have emerged as useful antisense materials. Herein, we aimed to combine these two advantages by designing dual modified nucleic acids 2'-OMe-RNA-5-OHCyt and scpBNA-5-OHCyt bearing the 5-OHCyt nucleobase to develop efficient and safe ASOs. We describe the synthesis of 2'-OMe-RNA-5-OHCyt and scpBNA-5-OHCyt phosphoramidites and their incorporation into oligonucleotides (ONs). The duplex-forming ability and base discrimination properties of 2'-OMe-RNA-5-OHCyt- and scpBNA-5-OHCyt-modified ONs were similar to those of 2'-OMe-RNA-Cyt- and scpBNA-mCyt-modified ONs, respectively. We also synthesized two 2'-OMe-RNA-5-OHCyt-modified ASOs, and one of the two was found to exhibit reduced hepatotoxicity while retaining target mRNA knockdown activity in in vivo experiments.

Abstract
The formation of triplex DNA is a site-specific recognition method that directly targets duplex DNA. However, triplex DNA formation is generally formed for the GC and AT base pairs of duplex DNA, and there are no natural nucleotides that recognize the CG and TA base pairs, or even the 5-methyl-CG (5mCG) base pair. Moreover, duplex DNA, including 5mCG base pairs, epigenetically regulates gene expression in vivo, and thus targeting strategies are of biological importance. Therefore, the development of triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) with artificial nucleosides that selectively recognize these base pairs with high affinity is needed. We recently reported that 2'-deoxy-2-aminonebularine derivatives exhibited the ability to recognize 5mCG and CG base pairs in triplex formation; however, this ability was dependent on sequences. Therefore, we designed and synthesized new nucleoside derivatives based on the 2'-deoxy-nebularine (dN) skeleton to shorten the linker length connecting to the hydrogen-bonding unit in formation of the antiparallel motif triplex. We successfully demonstrated that TFOs with 2-guanidinoethyl-2'-deoxynebularine (guanidino-dN) recognized 5mCG and CG base pairs with very high affinity in all four DNA sequences with different adjacent nucleobases of guanidino-dN as well as in the promoter sequences of human genes containing 5mCG base pairs with a high DNA methylation frequency.

Abstract
Chemical modifications have been extensively used for therapeutic oligonucleotides because they strongly enhance the stability against nucleases, binding affinity to the targets, and efficacy. We previously reported that oligonucleotides modified with an N-methylguanidine-bridged nucleic acid (GuNA[Me]) bearing the thymine (T) nucleobase show excellent biophysical properties for applications in antisense technology. In this paper, we describe the synthesis of GuNA[Me] phosphoramidites bearing other typical nucleobases including adenine (A), guanine (G), and 5-methylcytosine (mC). The phosphoramidites were successfully incorporated into oligonucleotides following the method previously developed for the GuNA[Me]-T-modified oligonucleotides. The binding affinity of the oligonucleotides modified with GuNA[Me]-A, -G, or -mC toward the complementary single-stranded DNAs or RNAs was systematically evaluated. All of the GuNA[Me]-modified oligonucleotides were found to have a strong affinity for RNAs. These data indicate that GuNA[Me] could be a useful modification for therapeutic antisense oligonucleotides.

Abstract
Oligonucleotides containing bridged nucleic acids (BNAs) show high duplex-forming ability towards target single-stranded RNA, so many BNAs have been developed for antisense applications. Amide-bridged nucleic acids (AmNAs), which are BNA analogues bearing an amide bond at the bridge, exhibit high duplex-forming ability, enzymatic stability, and antisense activity; thus, the AmNA motif represents a promising BNA scaffold. The high enzymatic stability of the AmNA motif is presumably attributable to the bulky amide structure, because it inhibits the access of nucleases to the phosphodiester linkage. Here, to improve enzymatic stability further, we designed thioAmNAs: thioamide-bridged nucleotides that have a bulkier bridge structure than AmNA. The synthesis of thioAmNAs bearing either thymine (thioAmNA-T) or 2-thiothymine (thioAmNA-S2 T) bases was successful, and the obtained monomers were introduced into designed oligonucleotides without noticeable by-product generation. The thioAmNA-T- and thioAmNA-S2 T-modified oligonucleotides showed strong binding affinity toward complementary single-stranded RNA, with the thioAmNA-S2 T-modified oligonucleotide displaying excellent base-discrimination capability. Moreover, both thioAmNA-T and thioAmNA-S2 T endowed oligonucleotides with higher resistance to enzymatic degradation than AmNA-T. These results indicate that thioAmNAs are potentially useful chemical modifications for oligonucleotide-based therapeutics.

Abstract
Oligonucleotides modified with 2'- O,4'- C-spirocyclopropylene-bridged nucleic acid (scpBNA) exhibit excellent duplex-forming ability with their complementary single-stranded RNA (ssRNA). Here, we demonstrate that scpBNA bearing a 2-thiothymine (scpBNA-S2T) or 2-selenothymine (scpBNA-Se2T) nucleobase provides robust mismatch discrimination capabilities to oligonucleotides without compromising their high binding affinities toward the full complementary ssRNA. X-ray crystallographic analysis of a self-assembling oligonucleotide featuring 2',4'-BNA/LNA-2-thiothymine (2',4'-BNA/LNA-S2T, where 2',4'-BNA and LNA stand for "2'- O,4'- C-methylene-bridged nucleic acid" and "locked nucleic acid", respectively), a prototype of scpBNA-S2T, revealed that the 2-thiocarbonyl moiety plays a crucial role in the destabilization of thymine-guanine mismatched wobble base pairs.

Abstract
We designed and synthesized a novel artificial 2'-O,4'-C-methylene bridged nucleic acid (2',4'-BNA/LNA) with a phenoxazine nucleobase and named this compound BNAP. Oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) containing BNAP showed higher binding affinities toward complementary DNA and RNA as compared to ODNs bearing 2',4'-BNA/LNA with 5-methylcytosine or 2'-deoxyribonucleoside with phenoxazine. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that BNAP exhibits properties associated with the phenoxazine moiety in DNA/DNA duplexes and characteristics associated with the 2',4'-BNA/LNA moiety in DNA/RNA duplexes.

Abstract
We synthesized thymidine derivatives of 2'-C,4'-C-ethyleneoxy-bridged 2'-deoxyribonucleic acids with an 8'-methyl group ((R)-Me-EoDNA and (S)-Me-EoDNA) and without any substituent (EoDNA). Oligonucleotides including these EoDNAs showed high hybridization abilities with complementary RNA and excellent enzymatic stabilities compared with natural DNA. Moreover, the in vitro antisense potency of oligonucleotides with these EoDNAs and our recently reported methylene-EoDNAs was investigated and compared with that of LNA, which is a practical chemical modification for oligonucleotide-therapeutic agents. The results showed that EoDNAs and methylene-EoDNAs could be promising candidates for antisense technology.
