title: The synthesis of alternating alpha,beta-oligodeoxyribonucleotides with alternating (3'-->3')- and (5'-->5')-internucleotic linkages as potential therapeutic agents.
abstract: A simplified synthesis of alpha-2'-deoxyribonucleoside derivatives has been developed and the solid-phase preparation of antisense alpha,beta-oligodeoxyribonucleotides with alternating (3'-->3')- and (5'-->5')-internucleotidic phosphodiester linkages, targeted against HIV-1 tat mRNA, has been accomplished. Hybridization properties of these oligonucleotide analogues have been investigated.
