Efficient conjugation of oligonucleotides through aromatic oxime formation

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2009 Dec 1;19(23):6534-7. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2009.10.048. Epub 2009 Oct 15.

Abstract

The present work reports on the preparation of oligonucleotide conjugates via the formation of aromatic oxime linkage. The conjugation consists in the reaction between the oligonucleotide derivatized at 5'-extremity with a benzaldehyde moiety and an aminooxy reporter group. The conjugation was found highly efficient and was extended for the conjugation of phosphorothioate oligonucleotide. In addition, the stability of the so-formed oxime conjugate was investigated.
