Abstract
This review describes the application of a natural defense mechanism to develop effective agents for The post-transcriptional control of gene expression. 2-5A is a unique 2,5-phosphodiester bond linked oligoadenylate, (pp)p5A2(p5A)n , that is elaborated in virus-infected interferon-treated cells. The 2-5A System is an RNA degradation pathway that is an important mechanistic component of interferons action against certain viruses. It may also play a role in the anticellular effects of interferon and in general RNA decay. A major player in the 2-5A-system is the latent and constitutive 2-5A-dependent ribonuclease (RNase L) which upon activation by 2-5A, degrades RNA. This RNase L enzyme can be recruited for antisense therapeutics by linking it to an appropriate oligonucleotide targeted to a chosen RNA. Syntheses of 2-5A, its analogues, 2-5A-antisense, and its modifications are detailed herein. Applications of 2-5A-antisense to particular targets such as HIV, PKR, chronic myelogenous leukemia, telomerase, and respiratory syncytical Virus is described.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
