Abstrakt: LNA and α-L-LNA are promising candidates for the development of efficient oligonucleotide-based therapeutic agents. Here, we report dose-dependent inhibition of HIV-1 Tat-dependent trans activation by a 12-mer chimeric α-L-LNA/DNA oligomer. This oligomer exhibits a dose-dependency similar to that of the corresponding 12-mer chimeric LNA/2′-O-Me-RNA oligomer. In addition, we show that incorporation of α-L-LNA or LNA monomers into each of the two binding arms of a “10–23” DNAzyme markedly increases cleavage of the target RNA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
