Synthesis of an oligonucleotide containing one methylphosphonate locked nucleic acid (LNA) thymine monomer using the phosphoramidite approach is described. The binding affinity of this 9-mer methylphosphonate LNA towards complementary DNA and RNA oligonucleotides was increased compared to the reference DNA, but decreased compared to the reference LNA. In the 9-mer sequence context studied, introduction of a single methylphosphonate LNA monomer, contrary to a single LNA monomer, efficiently inhibits 3'-exonucleolytic degradation.

Synthesis of chimeric 9-mer oligonucleotides containing methylphosphonate-linkages and locked nucleic acid (LNA) monomers, their binding affinity towards complementary DNA and RNA, and their 3'-exonucleolytic stability are described. The obtained methylphosphonate-DNA/LNA chimeric oligonucleotides display similarly high RNA affinity and RNA selectivity as a corresponding 9-mer DNA/LNA chimeric oligonucleotide, but much higher resistance towards 3'-exonucleolytic degradation.
