Synthesis of a series of 2'-O- [2-[(N,N-dialkylamino)oxy]ethyl]-modified 5-methyluridine nucleoside phosphoramidites and solid supports are described. Using these monomers, modified oligonucleotides containing phosphodiester linkages were synthesized in high yields. These modified oligonucleotides showed enhanced binding affinity to the complementary RNA (and not to DNA) and excellent nuclease stability with t(1/2)>24 It. The human serum albumin binding properties of modified oligonucleotides have been evaluated to assess their transport and toxicity properties. (C) 2003 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
