Abstract
Nucleic acid chemistry is a huge research area that has received new impetus due to the recent explosive success of oligonucleotide therapy. In order for an oligonucleotide to become clinically effective, its monomeric parts are subjected to modifications. Although a large number of redesigned natural nucleic acids have been proposed in recent years, the vast majority of them are combinations of simple modifications proposed over the past 50 years. This review is devoted to the main modifications of the sugar phosphate backbone of natural nucleic acids known to date. Here, we propose a systematization of existing knowledge about modifications of nucleic acid monomers and an acceptable classification from the point of view of chemical logic. The visual representation is intended to inspire researchers to create a new type of modification or an original combination of known modifications that will produce unique oligonucleotides with valuable characteristics.

Physicochemical properties calculated using DFT method and changes of 5-methyluridine hemihydrate crystals at high temperatures. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2022; 281:121594.

Abstract
5-methyluridine hemihydrate (5 mU) single crystals were synthesized by the slow solvent evaporation method. The physicochemical properties, such as frontier molecular orbitals, global reactivity indices and vibrational were computationally studied through density functional theory (DFT). In addition, structural, vibrational, and thermal properties were obtained by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). PXRD evaluated the structural behavior of 5 mU crystal in the temperature range of 300-460 K. The high-temperature PXRD results suggested that the crystal undergoes two dehydration processes, being a first occurring from the orthorhombic structure (P21212) to triclinic (P1), in which the water losses occurred around 380 K. A second dehydration triggers the change from the triclinic structure to monoclinic (P21) within the 420-435 K temperature range. Furthermore, after this temperature, the anhydrous 5 mU suffers a melting process near 460 K, which is remarkably characterized as an irreversible process. Raman spectroscopy was carried out to identify the vibrational modes linked to the water molecule and the noticeable changes in these bands due to high-temperature effects around 380 K and 410 K. Indeed, changes on Raman bands, such as intensity inversion, the disappearance of bands associated with the hydrogen bonds formed from the water molecules and uracil group, and the ribose group were observed. Finally, this study provided details on the structural and vibrational changes caused by the dehydration of 5 mU crystals and the importance of hydrogen bonds for understanding the intermolecular interactions of the 5 mU, a methylated nucleoside with important biological functions.

Abstract
In the past few years, several drugs derived from nucleic acids have been approved for commercialization and many more are in clinical trials. The sensitivity of these molecules to nuclease digestion in vivo implies the need to exploit resistant non-natural nucleotides. Among all the possible modifications, the one concerning the internucleoside linkage is of particular interest. Indeed minor changes to the natural phosphodiester may result in major modifications of the physico-chemical properties of nucleic acids. As this linkage is a key element of nucleic acids' chemical structures, its alteration can strongly modulate the plasma stability, binding properties, solubility, cell penetration and ultimately biological activity of nucleic acids. Over the past few decades, many research groups have provided knowledge about non-natural internucleoside linkage properties and participated in building biologically active nucleic acid derivatives. The recent renewing interest in nucleic acids as drugs, demonstrated by the emergence of new antisense, siRNA, aptamer and cyclic dinucleotide molecules, justifies the review of all these studies in order to provide new perspectives in this field. Thus, in this review we aim at providing the reader insights into modified internucleoside linkages that have been described over the years whose impact on annealing properties and resistance to nucleases have been evaluated in order to assess their potential for biological applications. The syntheses of modified nucleotides as well as the protocols developed for their incorporation within oligonucleotides are described. Given the intended biological applications, the modifications described in the literature that have not been tested for their resistance to nucleases are not reported.

Abstract
Ethynylphosphonate (EP)-linked thymidine dimers were synthesized via a palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction and successfully incorporated into oligonucleotides. The oligonucleotides containing EP linkages appropriately formed a duplex with their complementary single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) and single-stranded DNA. The oligonucleotides containing both the EP linkages and 2'-O,4'-C-methylene-bridged nucleic acid/locked nucleic acid exhibited strong duplex-forming ability toward the complementary ssRNA. The EP-modified oligonucleotides exhibited higher exonuclease resistances than their natural counterparts. Moreover, one EP modification to a gapmer-type antisense oligonucleotide resulted in a switch of the cleavage site in the target ssRNA. Therefore, the EP modification can be applied for controlling the cleavage site in the RNase H-dependent mechanism.

Abstract
A synthetic orthogonal polymer embracing a chiral acyclic-phosphonate backbone [(S)-ZNA] is presented that uniquely adds to the emerging family of xenobiotic nucleic acids (XNAs). (S)-ZNA consists of reiterating six-atom structural units and can be accessed in few synthetic steps from readily available phophonomethylglycerol nucleoside (PMGN) precursors. Comparative thermal stability experiments conducted on homo- and heteroduplexes made of (S)-ZNA are described that evince its high self-hybridization efficiency in contrast to poor binding of natural complements. Although preliminary and not conclusive, circular dichroism data and dynamic modeling computations provide support to a left-handed geometry of double-stranded (S)-ZNA. Nonetheless, PMGN diphosphate monomers were recognized as substrates by Escherichia coli (E. coli) polymerase I as well as being imported into E. coli cells equipped with an algal nucleotide transporter. A further investigation into the in vivo propagation of (S)-ZNA culminated with the demonstration of the first synthetic nucleic acid with an acyclic backbone that can be transliterated to DNA by the E. coli cellular machinery.

Abstract
Oligonucleotide-based therapeutics have made rapid progress in the clinic for treatment of a variety of disease indications. Unmodified oligonucleotides are polyanionic macromolecules with poor drug-like properties. Over the past two decades, medicinal chemists have identified a number of chemical modification and conjugation strategies which can improve the nuclease stability, RNA-binding affinity, and pharmacokinetic properties of oligonucleotides for therapeutic applications. In this perspective, we present a summary of the most commonly used nucleobase, sugar and backbone modification, and conjugation strategies used in oligonucleotide medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
Heteroatom analogues of hydrocodone, in which the N-methyl functionality was replaced with oxygen, sulfur, sulfoxide, and sulfone, were prepared by a short sequence from the ethylene glycol ketal of hydrocodone; a carbocyclic analogue of bisnorhydrocodone was also prepared. The compounds were tested for receptor binding and revealed moderate levels of activity for the sulfone analogue of hydrocodone.

Abstract
A method for the solution-phase synthesis of branched oligonucleotides with tetrahedral or pseudo-octahedral geometry is described that involves the coupling of 3'-H-phosphonates of protected dinucleoside phosphates and organic core molecules. The dimer building blocks are produced by a synthesis that requires no chromatographic purification and that produces the dimer H-phosphonates in up to 44% yield in less than three days of laboratory work. A total of seven different branched hybrids were prepared, including a new hybrid of the sequence (CG)(4)TBA, where TBA stands for tetrakis(p-hydroxybiphenyl)adamantane that assembles into a material from micromolar aqueous solution upon addition of MgCl(2).

Abstract
The design, synthesis, and evaluation of a series of novel inhibitors of aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) are reported. Several submicromolar phosphorus-containing inhibitors are described, but all-carboxylate compounds are inactive. Compounds were synthesized to probe the postulated cyclic transition-state of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction. In addition, the associated role of the protonation state at the phosphorus acid moiety was evaluated using phosphinic and carboxylic acids. Although none of the synthesized inhibitors is more potent than N-phosphonacetyl-l-aspartate (PALA), the compounds provide useful mechanistic information, as well as the basis for the design of future inhibitors and/or prodrugs.

[reaction: see text] The abasic site building block 7 for DNA synthesis, containing a methylenephosphinic acid group at C3', was prepared in six steps and was incorporated into DNA via a combination of H-phosphonate and phosphoramidite chemistry. Corresponding oligodeoxynucleotides were shown to be chemically stable under basic conditions and fully functional at the respective hemiacetal center.

Abstract
Radical addition of H3PO2 to N-/C-protected vinyl glycine led to the corresponding H-phosphinic acid in excellent yield. The non-nucleophilic H-phosphinic acid was converted to a nucleophilic P(III) species, RP(OTMS)2, which was used in two approaches to the target phosphinic acid containing pseudopeptide. New methodology was developed that led to excellent yields in the reaction of RP(OTMS)2 with unactivated electrophiles, including an acyclic homoallylic bromide. However, en route to the target pseudopeptide, Arbuzov reaction of RP(OTMS)2 with a cyclic homoallylic bromide, (R)-3-(bromomethyl)-cyclopent-1-ene, led to a rearranged allylic phosphinic acid rather than the desired homoallylic derivative, a putative glutarate surrogate. Conjugate addition of RP(OTMS)2 to alpha-methylene glutarate containing a chiral auxiliary resulted in only modest diastereoselectivity. Purification by flash chromatography provided protected derivatives of both diastereomers of the pseudopeptide. Following global deprotection, coupling of (S)-H-Glu-gamma-[Psi(P(O)(OH)(CH2))]-(S)-Glu-OH and (S)-H-Glu-gamma-[Psi(P(O)(OH)(CH2))]-(R)-Glu-OH to (4-amino-4-deoxy-10-methyl)pteroyl azide led to the target compounds for biochemical study as inhibitors of the ATP-dependent ligase, folylpoly-gamma-glutamate synthetase.

Abstract
Current antiviral therapies are insufficient for treating emerging, re-emerging and established viral diseases. In an effort to find new therapeutics, oligo- and polyribonucleotides are being studied for their antiviral capabilities. Studies have shown that uniquely modified single- and double-stranded nucleic acid constructs are effective in inhibiting viral proliferation by various mechanisms. This review gives a brief history and highlights the development of oligo- and polyribonucleotides as antiviral agents primarily in the fields of interferon induction, mRNA complementation and reverse transcriptase inhibition.

Abstract
We synthesized the phosphinate 7 via photoaddition of methanol to the alpha, beta unsaturated deoxyribono lactone as the key step, followed by an Arbusov reaction for the introduction of phosphorous. Precursor 7 serves for the synthesis and incorporation into DNA of a novel chemically stable abasic site analogue that might act as an inhibitor for DNA glycosylases.
