Antisense oligonucleotides are being evaluated in clinical trials as novel therapeutic agents. To further improve the properties of antisense oligonucleotides, we have designed mixed-backbone oligonucleotides (MBOs) Bat contain phosphorothioate segments at the 3' and 5' ends and have a modified oligodeoxynucleotide or oligoribonucleotide segment located in the central portion of the oligonucleotide. Some of these MBOs indicate improved properties compared with phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides with respect to affinity to RNA, RNase H activation, and anti-HIV activity. In addition, more acceptable pharmacological, in vivo degradation and pharmacokinetic profiles were obtained with these MBOs.
