The invention relates to the use of nucleotide substitutes for increasing the in vivo efficacy of nucleic acid molecules and also for inhibiting inflammation in mammals. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of 2′6′diaminopurine (DAP) and analogs thereof per se in anti-inflammatory compositions, and also for preparing nucleic acid molecules having an increased in vivo physiological efficiency and a reduced toxicity as compared to conventional oligos. The invention is particularly useful for the preparation of antisense oligonucleotides for treating pulmonary/respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis, asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive lung disease, eosinophilic bronchitis, allergies, allergic rhinitis, pulmonary fibrosis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, sinusitis, respiratory syncytial virus or other viral respiratory tract infection and cancer.
本发明涉及核苷酸替代物在提高核酸分子体内效力以及抑制哺乳动物炎症方面的用途。更具体地说,本发明涉及 2′6′二氨基嘌呤(DAP)及其类似物本身在抗炎组合物中的用途,还涉及制备与传统寡核苷酸相比具有更高的体内生理效率和更低的毒性的核酸分子。本发明特别适用于制备治疗肺/呼吸道疾病的反义寡核苷酸,如囊性纤维化、哮喘、慢性支气管炎、慢性阻塞性肺病、嗜酸性支气管炎、过敏、过敏性鼻炎、肺纤维化、成人呼吸窘迫综合征、鼻窦炎、呼吸道合胞病毒或其他病毒性呼吸道感染和癌症。
