Control of phosphorothioate stereochemistry substantially increases the efficacy of antisense oligonucleotides
2017
Overview
A scalable chemical method to control phosphorothioate chirality demonstrates its impact on the efficacy of antisense oligonucleotides.
Whereas stereochemical purity in drugs has become the standard for small molecules, stereoisomeric mixtures containing as many as a half million components persist in antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) therapeutics because it has been feasible neither to separate the individual stereoisomers, nor to synthesize stereochemically pure ASOs. Here we report the development of a scalable synthetic process that yields therapeutic ASOs having high stereochemical and chemical purity. Using this method, we synthesized rationally designed stereopure components of mipomersen, a drug comprising 524,288 stereoisomers. We demonstrate that phosphorothioate (PS) stereochemistry substantially affects the pharmacologic properties of ASOs. We report that
S
p-configured PS linkages are stabilized relative to
R
p, providing stereochemical protection from pharmacologic inactivation of the drug. Further, we elucidated a triplet stereochemical code in the stereopure ASOs, 3′-
S
p

p, that promotes target RNA cleavage by RNase H1
in vitro
and provides a more durable response in mice than stereorandom ASOs.
