Phosphorothioates, Essential Components of Therapeutic Oligonucleotides
Abstract
Phosphorothioates have found their usefulness in the general area of oligonucleotide therapeutic applications. Initially this modification was introduced into the antisense methodology because of the nuclease resistance of the phosphorothioate linkage in comparison with that of the phosphate linkage. However, as experimental data accumulated, it was detected that this chemical modification also facilitates cellular uptake and bioavailibity in vivo. Thus, today the majority of therapeutic oligonucleotides contain this modification. This review will discuss the historical development of this modification and present some of its chemical properties where they differ from those of the phosphate group. The antisense application will be discussed in the original context with cleavage of the target mRNA, but other target RNAs such as microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs will also be covered. It continues with applications where the target RNA should not be cleaved. A brief presentation of decoy oligonucleotides will be included, as well as some miscellaneous applications. Cellular uptake is a crucial step for oligonucleotides to reach their target and will be briefly reviewed. Lastly, a most surprising recent observation is the presence of phosphorothioate groups in bacterial DNA where functions still remain to be fully determined.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
