Synthesis and Antisense Properties of 2′β-F-Arabinouridine Modified Oligonucleotides with 4′-C-OMe Substituent

A novel 2′-F,4′-C-OMe–arabinouridine (araU) was successfully synthesized and introduced into oligonucleotides. The oligonucleotide containing 2′-F,4′-C-OMe–araU exhibited improved nuclease resistance and RNA hybridizing selective ability re...
