Fluoro-bases Modification Is a Promising Modification Method

Fluorine has unusual properties such as small molecules, hydrophobicity, and high electronegativity. A highly electronegative fluorine atom can replace the 2'-OH group of ribose, resulting in a C3'-endo (RNA-type) conformation of the 2'-F-ribonucleoside ring in oligonucleotides. The properties of the fluoro bases modification make it especially suitable for the design of highly effective siRNAs. At the 2'-ribose position, which allows for position-independent incorporation into both strands and locks the sugar in the RNA-compatible C3'-endo conformation, respectively. Fluorine modification increases the RNA affinity of modified siRNA guide strands for their targets and enhances the stability of siRNA duplexes. Neither this increase in affinity nor pairing strength compromised siRNA function and was well tolerated. This modification exhibits greater nuclease stability, significantly reduces immune stimulation in vitro models, and is a promising modification in siRNAs.
