Product information

The UltraMILD set of methyl phosphoramidites, in conjunction with UltraMILD deprotection conditions, can be used to prepare the interesting, nuclease resistant methyl phosphotriester linkage. These have potential therapeutic applications.

We also produce a range of ethyl phosphoramidites with classical nucleobase protection. Nuclease resistant P-ethoxy oligonucleotides (a hydrophobic analogue of phosphodiesters) have been shown, through incorporation into liposomes, to be effective in the inhibition of protein expression and cell growth in therapeutic applications.(1) The neutral charge and slight lipophilic character appears to improve the delivery of the oligonucleotide into a cell.

Physical & Dilution Data

Dilution volumes (in ml) are for 0.1M solutions in dry acetonitrile (LK4050). Adjust accordingly for other concentrations. For µmol pack sizes, products should be diluted as 100µmol/ml to achieve 0.1M, regardless of molecular weight.

Coupling

A coupling time of 6min (360s) is recommended.

Cleavage & Deprotection

Assuming your strategy is to retain the ethyl groups, carry out deprotections at room temperature. Heating the oligos during deprotection will lead to loss of OEt from the phosphate backbone.

LK2516 & LK2518 - Use ammonium hydroxide solution overnight at room temperature.

LK2517 - Use ammonium hydroxide solution at room temperature for 48h. Overnight deprotection does not completely remove the iBu nucleobase protection (~13% remains).

LK2519 - Use ammonium hydroxide solution overnight at room temperature. Note that deprotection with AMA will lead to transamination.

After deprotection remove the deprotection solution by G25. Do not heat the sample to remove deprotection reagents.

Storage & Stability

All phosphoramidites are stored refrigerated at a maximum of 2-8°C. Stability in solution is 2-3 days.
