English Abstract




An in vivo method of selectively delivering a nucleic acid to a target gene or
mRNA, comprises the topical administration, e.g. to the respiratory system, of
a subject of a therapeutic amount of an oligonucleotide (oligo) that is anti-
sense to the initiation codon region, the coding region, the 5' or 3' inton-
exon junctions or regions within 2 to 10 nucleotides of the junctions of the
gene or antisense to a mRNA complementary to the gene in an amount effective
to reach the target polynucleotide and reducing or inhibiting expression. In
addition a method of treating and adenosine mediated effect, comprises
topically administering to a subject an anti-sense oligo in an amount
effective to treat the respiratory, pulmonary, or airway disease. In order to
minimize triggering adenosine receptors by their metabolism, the administered
oligos have a low content of or are essentially free of adenosine. A
pharmaceutical composition and formulations comprise the oligo anti-sense to
an adenosine receptor, genes and mRNAs encoding them, genomic and mRNA
flanking regions, intron and exon borders and all regulatory and functionally
related segments of the genes and mRNAs encoding the polypeptides, their salts
and mixtures. Various formulations contain a requisite carrier, and optionally
other additives and biologically active agents. The low adenosine or adenosine
free (des-A) agent for practicing the method of the invention may be prepared
by selecting a target gene(s), genomic flanking region(s), RNA(s) and/or
polypeptide(s) associated with a disease(s) or condition(s) afflicting lung
airways, obtaining the sequence of the mRNA(s) corresponding to the target
gene(s) and/or genomic flanking region(s), and/or RNAs encoding the target
polypeptide(s), selecting at least one segment of the mRNA which may be up to
60 % free of thymidine (T) and synthesizing one or more anti-sense
oligonucleotide(s) to the mRNA segments which are free of adenosine (A) by
substituting a universal base for A when present in the oligonucleotide. The
agent may be prepared by selection of target nucleic acid sequences with GC
running stretches, which have low T content, and by optionally replacing A in
the anti-sense oligonucleotides with a "Universal or alternative base". The
agent, composition and formulations are used for prophylactic, preventive and
therapeutic treatment of ailments associated with impaired respiration, lung
allergy(ies) and/or inflammation and depletion lung surfactant or surfactant
hypoproduction, such as pulmonary vasoconstriction, inflammation, allergies,
allergic rhynitis, asthma, impeded respiration, lung pain, cystic fibrosis,
bronchoconstriction. The present treatment is suitable for administration in
combination with other treatments, e.g. before, during and after other
treatments, including radiation, chemotherapy, antibody therapy and surgery,
among others. Alternatively, the present agent is effectively administered
prophylactically or therapeutically by itself for conditions without known
therapies or as a substitute for therapies exhibiting undesirable side
effects. The treatment of this invention may be administered directly into the
respiratory system of a subject so that the agent has direct access to the
lungs, or by other effective routes of administration, e.g. topically,
transdermally, by implantation, etc., in an amount effective to reduce or
inhibit the symptoms of the ailment.


French Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé in vivo de libération sélective d'un acide nucléique sur un gène cible ou ARNm, qui consiste à appliquer localement, par exemple sur le système respiratoire d'un sujet, une dose thérapeutique d'un oligonucléotide (oligo) antisens par rapport à la région du codon initiateur, à la région codante, aux jonctions intron-exon 3' ou 5' dans 2 à 10 nucléotides des jonctions du gène, ou antisens par rapport à un ARNm complémentaire du gène, en quantité efficace pour que le polynucléotide cible soit atteint, et à réduire ou à inhiber l'expression. Par ailleurs, un procédé de traitement d'un effet à médiation adénosinique, consiste à administrer localement à un sujet un oligo antisens, en dose efficace pour le traitement de maladie respiratoire, pulmonaire ou des voies aériennes. Afin de minimiser le déclenchement des récepteurs d'adénosine par leur métabolisme, les oligos administrés présentent une faible teneur en adénosine ou en sont sensiblement exempts. L'invention porte sur une composition et des préparations pharmaceutiques qui comprennent l'oligo antisens par rapport à un récepteur d'adénosine, des gènes et des ARNm les codant, des régions adjacentes génomiques et d'ARNm, des limites introniques et exoniques et tous les segments apparentés au plan régulatoire et fonctionnel des gènes et des ARNm codant pour les polypeptides, leurs sels et leurs mélanges. Diverses préparations contiennent un véhicule requis, et éventuellement d'autres additifs et des agents bioactifs. Les agents à faible teneur en adénosine ou exempts d'adénosine (des-A) utilisés pour la mise en oeuvre du procédé de l'invention, peuvent être préparés par la sélection d'un ou plusieurs gènes cibles, d'une ou plusieurs régions adjacentes génomiques, d'un ou plusieurs ARN et/ou d'un ou plusieurs polypeptides associés à une ou plusieurs maladies ou un ou plusieurs états affectant les voies aériennes pulmonaires, par l'obtention de la séquence du ou des ARN correspondant au(x) gène(s) et/ou à la ou aux régions adjacentes génomiques, et/ou des ARN codant pour le(s) polypeptide(s) cibles, par la sélection d'au moins un segment de l'ARNm qui peut être jusqu'à 60 % exempt de thymidine (T) et par la synthèse d'un ou plusieurs oligonucléotides antisens par rapport aux segments d'ARNm qui sont exempts d'adénosine (A), par le remplacement de A par une base universelle, lorsqu'elle est présente dans l'oligonucléotide. L'agent peut être préparé par la sélection de séquences nucléotidiques cibles à fragments de G et C, qui présentent une faible teneur en T, et par le remplacement éventuel de A dans les oligonucléotides antisens par une base universelle ou de remplacement. L'agent, la composition et les préparations sont utilisés pour le traitement prophylactique, préventif et thérapeutique d'affections associées à une respiration altérée, aux allergies pulmonaires et/ou à l'inflammation et à la déplétion de surfactant pulmonaire ou à l'hypoproduction de surfactant, comme la vasoconstriction pulmonaire, l'inflammation, les allergies, la rhinite allergique, l'asthme, les troubles de la respiration, la douleur pulmonaire, la fibrose kystique du poumon, la bronchoconstriction. Le traitement de l'invention est conçu pour être administré conjointement avec d'autres traitements, par exemple avant, pendant et après d'autres traitements, dont, entre autres, le rayonnement, la chimiothérapie, la thérapie par anticorps et la chirurgie. Ledit agent peut également être administré efficacement à des fins thérapeutiques ou prophylactiques, seul pour des états sans thérapies connues ou en tant que substitut aux thérapies à effets secondaires indésirables. Le traitement de l'invention peut être administré directement dans le système respiratoire d'un sujet, de manière que l'agent atteigne directement les poumons, ou par d'autres modes d'administration, par exemple localement, par voie transdermique, par implantation, en dose efficace pour l'atténuation ou la suppression des symptômes de l'affection.

LOW ADENOSINE ANTI~ENSE OLIGONUCLEOTIDE, COMPOSITIONS, KIT
& METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF AIRWAY DISORDERS ASSOCIATED
WITH BRONCHOCONSTRICTION, LUNG INFLAMMATION,
ALLERGY(llES) & SURFACTANT DEPLETION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
This patent relates to a composition comprising oligonucleotides (oligos) that
are anti-sense to
adenine receptors, and contain low amounts of or no adenosine (A). These
agents are suitable for the
treatment, among others, of pulmonary diseases associated with inflammation,
impaired airways,
including lung disease and diseases whose secondary effects afflict the lungs
of a subject. Examples of
these diseases are allergies, asthma, impeded respiration, allergic rhynitis,
pain, cystic fibrosis, and
cancers such as leukemias, e.g. colon cancer, and the like. The present agent
may be administered
prophylactically or therapeutically in conjunction with other therapies, or
may be utilized as a
substitute for therapies that have significant, negative side effects.
Backstround o~'the Invention
Respiratory ailments, associated with a variety of diseases and conditions,
are extremely
common in the general population, and more so in certain ethnic groups, such
as African Americans.
In some cases they are accompanied by inflammation, which aggravates the
condition of the lungs.
Asthma, for example, is one of the most common diseases in industrialized
countries. In the United
States it accounts for about I% of all health care costs. An alarming increase
in both the prevalence
and mortality of asthma over the past decade has been reported, and asthma is
predicted to be the
preeminent occupational lung disease in the next decade. While the increasing
mortality of asthma in
industrialized countries could be attributable to the depletion reliance upon
beta agonises in the
treatment of this disease, the underlying causes of asthma romain poorly
understood.
Adenosine may constitute an important mediator in the lung for various
diseases, including
bronchial asiltma. Its potential role was suggested by the finding that
asthmatics respond favorably to
aerosolized adenosine with marked bronchoconstriction whereas normal
individuals do not. An
asthmatic rabbit animal model, the dust mite allergic rabbit model for human
asthma, responded in a
similar fashion to aerosolized adenosine with marked bronchoconstriction
whereas non-asthmatic
rabbits showed no response. More recent work with this animal model suggested
that adenosine-
induced bronchoconstriction and bronchial hyperresponsiveness in asthma may be
mediated primarily
through the stimulation of adenosine receptors. Adenosine has also been shown
to cause adverse
effects, including death, when administered therapeutically for other diseases
and conditions in
subjects with previously undiagnosed hyper reactive airways.
A handful of medicaments have been available for the treatment of respiratory
diseases and
conditions, although in general they all have limitations. Theophyliine, an
important drug in the
treatment of asthma, is a known adenosine receptor antagonist which was
reported to eliminate
adenosine-mediated bronchoconstriction in asthmatic rabbits. A selective
adenosine A, receptor
antagonist, 8-cyclopentyl-1, 3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX) was also reported to
inhibit adenosine-
mediated bronchoconstriction and bronchial hyperresponsiveness in allergic
rabbits. The therapeutic
and preventative applications of currently available adenosine A, receptor-
specific antagonists are,
nevertheless, limited by their toxicity. Theophylline, for example, has been
widely used in the
treatment of asthma, but is associated with frequent, significant toxicity
resulting from its narrow
therapeutic dose range. DPCPX is fat too toxic to be useful clinically, The
fact that, despite decades of
extensive research, no specific adenosine receptor antagonist is available for
clinical use attests to the
general toxicity of these agents. Anti-sense oligonucleotides have received
considerable theoretical
consideration as potential useful pharmacological agents in human disease.
Their practical application
in actual models of human disease, however, has been somewhat elusive. One
important impediment to
their effective application has been a difficulty in finding an appropriate
route of administration to


CA 02330022 2000-11-30
WO 00/62736 2 PCT/US00!(1R(120
deliver them to their site of action. Many in vivo experiments were conducted
by administering anti-
sense oligonucleotides directly to specific regions of the brain. These
applications, however,
necessarily have limited clinical utility due to their invasive nature.
Although anti-sense
oligonucleotides have received considerable theoretical consideration for
their potential use as
pharmacological agents in human disease, fording practical and effective
applications for these agents
in actual models of human disease, however, have been few and far between,
particularly because they
had to be administered in large doses. Another important consideration in the
phartnacoiogic
application of these molecules is their route of administration. Many in vivo
applications have involved
the direct administration of anti-sense oligonucleotides to limited regions of
the brain. Such
applications, however, have limited clinical utility due to their invasive
nature. The systemic
administration of anti-sense oligonucleotides as pharmacological agents has
been found to have also
significant problems, not the least of which being an inherent difficulty in
targeting disease-involved
nssues. That is, the necessary dilution of the anti-sense oligonucleotide in
the circulatory system makes
extremely difficult to attain a therapeutic dose at the target tissue by
intravenous or oral administration.
The bioavailabiiity of orally administered anti-sense oligonucleotides is very
low, of the order of less
than about 5%. Anti-sense oligonueleotides have been used in therapy by many,
including the present
inventor, who in his previous work successfully treated various diseases and
conditions by direct
administration of these agents to the lung. In many instances, other workers
have had to face the
difficulties associated with the delivery of DNA molecules to a desired
target. Thus, the route of
administration may be of extreme importance for treating generalized diseases
and conditions as well
as those which are localized. In contrast, up to the present time, the
delivery of anti-sense agents to the
lung has been relatively undeveloped. As described by the present inventor in
more detail below, the
lung is an excellent target for the direct administration of anti-sense
oligonucleotides and provides a
non-invasive and a tissue-specific route.
Clearly, there exist presently no effective therapies for treating these
ailments, or at least no
therapies which are effective and devoid of significant detrimental side
effects. Accordingly, there is
still a need for an agent for the treatment of adenosine mediated ailments
afflicting the pulmonary and
respiratory ailments affecting the lung airways, including respiratory
problems, bronchoconstriction,
inflammation, allergy(ies), depletion or hyposecretion of surfactant, ere.,
which is highly effective and
sufficiently selective to avoid detrimental side effects produced by other
therapies. In addition, there is
a definite need for making available a delivery method that will require low
amounts of therapeutic
agents and will be effective for the rapid and targeted access of tissue genes
of tnRNAs and the
reversal of untoward effects afflicting a subject.
SiJN>1~IARY OF THIS INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a pharmaceutical or veterinary
composition,
comprising an anti-sense oligonueleotide(s) (oligo(s)) which is (are)
effective for alleviating
bronchoconstriction and/or lung inflammation, allergy(ies), and\or surfactant
depletion andlor
hyposecretion, when administered to a mammal, the oligo containing about 0 to
about 15% adenosine
(A) and being anti-sense to a target selected from the group consisting of the
initiation codon, the
coding region, the 5'-end and the 3'-end genomic flanking regions, the 5' and
3' intron-exon junctions,
and regions within 2 to 10 nucleotides of the junctions of a gene encoding a
target polypeptide
associated with lung airway dysfunction or anti-sense to the polypeptide mRNA;
combinations of the
oligos; and mixtures of the oligos; and a pharmaceutically or vcterinarily
acceptable carrier or diluent.
The targets are typically molecules associated with airway disease, cancer,
etc., such as transcription
factors, stimulating and activating peptide factors, cytokines, cytokine
receptors, chemokines,
chemokine receptors, adenosine receptors, bradykinin receptors, endogenously
produced specific and
non-specific enzymes, immunoglobulins and antibodies, antibody receptors,
central nervous system
(CNS) and peripheral nervous and non-nervous system receptors, CNS and
peripheral nervous and
non-nervous system peptide transmitters, adhesion molecules, defensins, growth
factors, vasoactive
peptides and receptors, binding proteins, and malignancy associated proteins,
among others. Examples

are oligo(s) targeted to adenosine receptors) and it(they) are typically
present in the composition in an
amount effective to reduce adenosine mediated effect(s), such as airway
obstruction, inflammation,
allergy(ies), and sufactant depletion, among others. The adenosine receptor is
preferably selected from
the group consisting of the adenosine A,, Air, and A~ receptors, and in some
instances even adenosine
S AZ, receptors. The oligo of the invention may be applied to the preparation
of a medicament for (a)
reducing adenosine-mediated bronchoconstriction, impeded respiration,
inflammation, allergy(ies),
depletion production of surfactant, and other detrimental pulmonary effects in
a subject in need of
treatment, and/or for (b) treating specific diseases and conditions such as
asthma, cystic fibrosis,
allergic rhynitis, COPD, etc. For the fast time this invention provides the
targeted administration of
l0 one or mote oligonucleotides directly into the repiratory system. The
oligos tray be directed to any
target and are intended for fast delivery through the mucosal tissue of the
lungs for hybridization to a
desired target polynucleotide, e, g. mRNA, to prevent gene transcription and
translation, such that
protein expression will be reduced, hampered, or completely stopped. Thus,
this invention also
provides a more general method for administering oligonucleotides that are
anti-sense to targeted genes
IS and mRNAs associated with any type of diseases, by direct administration
into the respiratory system,
e. g. by inhalation, by introduction of a solution or aerosol into the
respiratory airways, and/or directly
into the lung.
The present oligos, moreover, are suitable for reducing effects mediated by a
variety of target
proteins and genes, for example adenosine-mediated effects, including
pulmonary, respiratory, and
20 other associated effects, e. g, bronchoconstnction, inflammation, immune
mediated reactions,
allergy(ies) and other airway problems, which may be caused by different
conditions, including cancer.
Examples of diseases and conditions, which may be treated preventatively,
prophylactically and
therapeutically with the agent of this invention, are pulmonary
vasoconstriction, inf<ammation,
allergies, asthma, impeded respiration, respiratory distress syndrome, pain,
cystic fibrosis, allergic
25 rhynitis, pulmonary hypertension, pulmonary vasoconstriction, emphysema,
chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and cancers such as leukemias,
lymphomas, carcinomas, and
the like, e.g. colon cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer,
hepatocellutar carcinoma,
kidney cancer, melanoma, hepatic metastases, etc., as well as all types of
cancers which may
metastasize or have metastasized to the tung(s), including breast and prostate
cancer. The present
30 agents are also suitable for administration before, during and after other
treatments, including
radiation, chemotherapy, antibody therapy, phototherapy and cancer, and other
types of surgery. 'the
present agent is effectively administered prophylactically and therapeurically
in conjunction with other
therapies, or by itself for conditions without known therapies or as a
substitute for therapies that have
significant negative side effects. The oligo(s) may be administered by any
means known to a subject,
35 e. g. to the lungs of the subject, more generally through any and all
systemic and topical routes. This
oligonucleotide(s) (oligo(s)) employed are anti-sense to to a target DNA or
RNA, e. g. an adenosine
receptor DNA or RNA, and preferably consist essentially of up to about I 5%
adenosine (A), and more
preferably contain no adenosine. The oligos are provided in the form of
specific compositions and
formulations, with a carrier or diluent, and optionally with other therapeutic
agents and additives which
40 are used for administration by specific routes, e.g. into the respiratory
system, topically, transdermally,
parenterally, by implantation, and the Like. The oligo is also provided as a
capsule or carnidge, and in
the form of a kit. The oligos of the invention may be produced by selection of
speciGe targeted
segments of the gene or ntRNA encoding the adenosine receptor as described
below. In one preferred
embodiment, the selection is made to obtain oligos that consisting essentially
of less than about i5%
45 adenosine (A). This may be done by selecting the target as done above,
which includes genes, genomic
flanking regions, RNAs and polypeptide associated with an ailment afflicting
the lung airways,
obtaining the sequence of a mRNA(s) corresponding to the target genes) and/or
their genomic
flanking regions) and/or the juxta-membrane regions thereof, and mRNA(s)
encoding the target
polypeptide(s), selecting at least one segment of the mRNA(s), and
synthesizing one or more anti-sense
50 oligonucleotide(s) to the selected mRNA segment(s), and subsfituting, if
necessary, an alternative, e. g.

a universal bases) or other bases) for one or more A to reduce the proportion
of A present in the
oligonucleotide to less than about 1S%, and down to no adenosine. Similarly,
alternative and/or
universal bases may be substituted for adenosine, e. g. specific adenosine A1,
A2b and A3 receptor
antagonists or A2a receptor agonists, theophilline, enprophylline, and many
other adenosine receptor

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
This invention arose from a desire by the inventor to improve an prior art
treatments for
pulmonary and other diseases, which technology is generally frought with
detrimental side effects and
by the need of administering high doses of therapeutical agents. The present
invention arises from the
inventor's own discovery that adenosine receptor targeted anti-sense
oligonucleotides (oligos) may be
IS utilized therapeutically in the treatment of diseases or conditions which
impair respiration, cause
inflammation and/or allergy(ies), constrict bronchial tissue, obstruct the
lung airways, depletion
surfactant secretion, or otherwise impede normal breathing. In general, many
diseases and conditions
are associated with or cause inflammation, constrict bronchial tissue or the
lung airways, depletion
secretion of surfactant, augment allergy(ies), or otherwise impede normal
breathing. 'This treatment is
selective for specific targets associated with or mediating these symptoms,
and the agents are
administered in up to 1000-fold lower doses than those seen in the art. The
inventor, in addition,
wanted to provide a treatment which would improve the outcome and life style
of patients undergoing
other procedures or being administered other therapies, including antibody
therapy, chemotherapy,
radiation, phototherapy, and surgery e.g. cancer surgery, and that could be
effectively administered
preventatively, prophylacticaliy or therapeutically- He reasoned that he could
further improve on this
discovery by selecting oligos of reduced adenosine content, or reducing the
adenosine content of
otherwise targeted anti-sense oligos corresponding to endogenous
polynucleotide sequences: The
present invention is premised on the discovery by the inventor that
oligonucleotides are metabolized in
vivo to their mononucleotides. Adenosine (A)-containing ohgonucleotides break
down and release
adenosine which, in turn, activates adenosine receptors, thereby causing
bronchoconstriction,
inflatnmation, surfactant depletion, allergy(ies), and the like. He, thus,
conceived of employing low
adenosine-free adenosine oligos to avoid these side effects upon their
administration. He succeeded in
this endeavor and is providing in this patent novel and improved compositions,
formulations and
methods which afford greatly improved results when compared with previously
known treatments for
3S preventing and alleviating bronchoconstriction, allergy(ies), inflammation,
breathing difficulties,
surfactant depletion and blockage of airways, as well as for other conditions
which affect the lung
directly or indirectly. In different embodiments, one or more nucleic acids of
the invention may be
formulated atone, and/or with one or more surfactant components and/or with a
carrier, andlor with
other therapeutic agents and/or formulation agents known in the art. The
compositions of this
invention, thus, may be incorporated into a variety of formulations for
systemic and topical
administration. Moreover, the inventor also provides a broad method for
delivery of anti-sense
oligonucleotides (oligos) through the respiratory system, as a fast means of
starting treatment to
address acute attacks of asthma and other diseases and conditions that have a
rapid onset. In addition,
the present agents have long halflives and may be administered at very low
doses. This makes them
4S ideal for once a week type therapies. In the past, anti-sense
oligonueleotides received considerable
theoretical consideration as being potentially useful as pharmacologic agents
for the treatment of
human disease. Wagner, R., Nature 372: 333-335 ( 1994) However, it has been
difficult to actually
apply these molecules to allemating and curing human diseases. One important
consideration in the
phacmacologic application of these molecules has been the failure of various
routes of administration
to deliver the compounds to its target while avoiding invading the circulation
and, therefore, other


CA 02330022 2000-11-30
WO 00/62736 PCT/US(1(1/OR1120
untargeted tissues which, thus, produces a plethora of side effects. Most in
vivo experiments utilizing
anti-sense oligonucleotides involved a direct application of the oligo to
limited regions of the brain.
See, Wahlestedt, C., Trends in Pharmacol. Sri. I5: 42-46 (1994); Lai, J. et
al., Neuroreport S: 1049-
1052 ( t 994); Standifer, K., et al., Neuron 12: 805-810 ( 1994}; Akabayashi,
A., et al,, Brain Res. 21:
5 55-61 (1994). Others applied them into the spinal fluid. See, e.g, Tseng,
1.., et al., European J.
Pharmacol. 258: RI-3 (1994); Raffa, R., et al., European J. Phatmtacol. 258:
R5-7 (1994); Gillardon,
F., et al., European J. Neurosci. 6: 880-884 ( 1994). Such applications,
clearly, have no practical
clinical utility due to their invasive nature. Thus, the systemic
administration of anti-sense
oligonucleotides poses significant problems with respect to their
pharmacologic application, not the
least of which is the difficulty in selectively targeting disease-involved
tissues. The systemic
administration of anti-sense oligonucleotides also poses significant problems
with respect to their
pharmacologic application, not the least of which is the difficulty in
selectively targeting disease-
involved tissues.
The respiratory system, and in particular the lung, as the ultimate port of
entry into the
I S organism, however, is an excellent route of administration for anti-sense
oligonucleotides. This is so
not only for the treatment of lung disease, but also when utilizing the lung
as a means for delivery,
particularly because of its non-invasive and tissue-specific nature. Thus,
local delivery of antisense
oligonucleotides directly to the target tissue enables the therapeutic use of
these compounds.
Fomivirsen (ISIS 2302) is an example of a local drug delivery into the eye to
treat cytomegalovirus
(CMV) retinitis, for which a new drug application has been filed by ISIS. The
administration of a drug
through the Iang offers the further advantage that inhalation is non-invasive
whereas direct injection in
to the vitreous of the eye is invasive. The composition and formulations of
this invention are highly
efficacious for preventing and treating diseases and conditions associated
with bronchoconstriction,
difficult breathing, impeded and obstructed lung ainrvays, allergy(ies),
inflammation and surfactant
depletion, among others. Examples of diseases and conditions which are
suitably treated by the
present method are diseases and conditions, including Acute Respiratory
Distress Syndrome CARDS),
asthma, adenosine administration e.g. in the treatment of SupraVentricular
Tachycardia (SVT) and
other arrhythmias, and in stress tests to hyper-sensitized individuals,
ischemia, renal damage or failure
induced by certain drugs, infantile respiratory distress syndrome, pain,
cystic fibrosis, pulmonary
hypertension, pulmonary vasoconstriction, emphysema, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease
(COPD), lung transplantation rejection, pulmonary infections, and cancers such
as leukemias,
lymphomas, carcinomas, and the like, including colon cancer, breast cancer,
lung cancer, pancreatic
cancer, hepatoceilular carcinoma, kidney cancer, melanoma, hepatic metastases,
ere., as well as all
types of cancers which rnay metastasize or have metastasized to the lung(s),
including breast and
prostate cancer. The invention will be described with respect to the adenosine
receptors as targets, but
is similarly applicable to any other target with respect to the pulmonary
administration of anti-sense
oligos. The examples provided below show a complete inhibition of such
adenosine receptor
associated symptoms in a rabbit model for human bronchoeonstriction,
allergy(ies) and inflammation
as well as the elimination of the ability of the adenosine receptor agonist
par excellence, adenosine, to
cause bronchoeonstriction in hyper-responsive monkeys, which are animal models
for human hyper-
responsiveness to adenosine receptor agonists. The pharmaceutical composition
and formulations of
the invention, therefore, are suitable for preventing and alleviating the
symptoms associated with
stimulation of adenosine receptors, such as the adenosine A, receptors. The
compositions and
formulations of this invention, thus, are also suitable for prevent the
untoward side effects of
adenosine-mediated hyperresponsiveness in certain individuals, which are
generally seen in diseases
affecting respiratory activity.
The method of the present invention may be used to neat airway diseases and
conditions in a
subject of any kind and for any reason, with the intention that the adenosine
content of anti-sense
compounds be minimized, reduced or eliminated so as to prevent its liberation
upon anti-sense
degradation. Examples of diseases and conditions, which may be treated
preventatively,

terms "anti-sense" oligonucleotides generally refers to small, synthetic
oligonucleotides, resembling
single-stranded DNA, which in this patent are applied to the inhibition of
gene expression by
inhibition of a target messenger RNA (mRNA). See, Milligan, 1. F. et al., 1.
Med. Chem. 36(14),
1923-1937 (1993), the relevant portion of which is hereby incorporated in its
entirety by reference. For
consistency=s sake, all RNAs and oligonucleotides are represented in this
patent by a single strand in
the 5' to 3' direction, when read from left to right, although their
complementary sequences) is (are)
also encompassed within the four corners of the invention. In addition, all
nucleotide bases and amino
acids are represented utilizing the recommendations of the CUPAC-IUB
Biochetrueal Nomenclature
Commission, or by the known 3-letter code (for amino acids). Nucleotide
sequences ate presented
herein by single strand only, in the 5' to 3' direction, from left to right.
In addition, nucleotide and
amino acids are represented herein in the manner recommended by the IUPAC-IUB
Biochemical
Nomenclature Commission, or (for amino acids) by three letter code, in
accordance with 37 CFR '
1.822 and established usage. See, e.g., PatentIn User Manual, 99-102 (Nov.
1990) (U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office, Office of the Assistant Commissioner for Patents,
Washington, D.C. 20231); U.S.
Patent No. 4,871,670 to Hudson et al. at col. 3, lines 20-43. The present
method utilizes anti-sense
agents to inhibit or down-regulate gene expression of target genes, including
those listed in Tables l
and 2 below. This is generally attained by hybridization of the anti-sense
oligonucleotides to coding
(sense) sequences of a targeted messenger RNA (rnRNA), as is known in the art.
The exogenously
administered agents of the invention decrease the levels of mRNA and protein
encoded by the target
gene and/or cause changes in the growth characteristics or shapes of the thus
treated cells. See,
Milligan et al. (1993); Helene, C. and Toulme,1. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1049,
99-125 (1990); Cohen,
J. S. D., Ed., Oligodeoxynucleotides as Anti-sense Inhibitors of Gene
Expression; CRC Press: Boca
Raton, FL (1987), the relevant portion of which is hereby incorporated in its
entirety by reference. As
used herein, "anti-sense oligonucleotide or asnti-sense oligo" is generally a
short sequence of synthetic
nucleotide that (1) hybridizes to any segment of a mRNA encoding a targeted
protein under
appropriate hybridization conditions, and which (2) upon hybridization causes
a decrease in gene
expression of the targeted protein. The terms "desAdenosine" (desA) and "des-
thymidine" (desT) refer
to oligonucleotides substantially lacking either adenosine (dcsA) or lhymidine
(desT). In some
instances, the des A or des T sequences are naturally occurring, and in others
they may result from
substitution of an undesirable nucleotide (A) by another lacking its
undesirable activity, such as acting
as an agonist or having a triggering effect at the adenosine A receptor(s). In
the present context, the
substitution is generally accomplished by substitution of A with a "universal
or alternative base",
presently known in the art or to be ascertained at a later time. As used
herein, the terms "prevent",
"preventing", "treat" or "treating" refer to a preventative, prophylactic,
maintenance, or therapeutic
treatment which decreases the likelihood that the subject adnlinistered such
treatment will manifest
symptoms associated with adenosine receptor stimulation. The term "down-
regulate" refers to inducing


CA 02330022 2000-11-30
WO 00/G273G PCTlUS00/08020
a decrease in production, secretion or availability and, thus, a decrease in
concentration, of intracellular
target product, be it a receptor e. g. adenosine A" A=b, A" bradykinin 2B,
GATA-3, or other receptors,
or an increase in concentration of the adenosine Al, receptor. The present
technology relies on the
design of anti-sense oligos targeted to mRNAs associated with ailments
involving lung airway
pathology(ies), and on their modification to reduce the occurrence of
undesirable side effects caused by
their release of adenosine upon breakdown, while preserving their activity and
efficacy for their
intended purpose. In this manner, the inventor targets a specific gene to
design one or more anti-sense
oligonucleotide(s) (oligos) that selectively bmd(s) to the corresponding
ntRNA, and then reduces, if
necessary, their content of adenosine via substitution with an alternative or
a universal base, or an
adenosine analog incapable of significantly, or having substantially reduced
ability for, activating or
antagonizing adenosine A,, Alb or A, receptors or which may act as an agonist
at the adenosine A,~,
receptor. Any number of adenosines present may be substituted by an
alternative andlor universal base,
such as heteroaromatic bases, which binds to a thymidine base but has less
than about 0.3 of the
adenosine base agonist or antagonist activity at the adenosine A" Az" Alb and
A, receptors. Based on
his prior experience in the field, the inventor reasoned that in addition to
"downregulating" specific
genes, he could increase the effect of the agents) administered by either
selecting segments of RNA
that are devoid, or have a low content, of thymidine (T) or, alternatively,
substitute one or more
adenosine(s) present in the designed oligonucleotide(s) with other nucleotide
bases, so called universal
bases, which bind to thymidine but lack the ability to activate adenosine
receptors and otherwise
exercise the constricting effect of adenosine in the lungs, etc. Given that
adenosine (A) is a nucleotide
base complementary to thymidine (T), when a T appears in the RNA, the anti-
sense oligo will have an
A at the same position.
In one aspect of this invention, the anti-sense oligonucleotide has a sequence
which
specifically binds to a portion or segment of a mRNA molecule which encodes a
protein associated
with impeded breathing, siiergy(ies), lung inflammation, depletion of lung
surfactant or lowering of
lung surfactant, airway obstruction, bronchitis, and the like. One effect of
this binding i5 to reduce or
even prevent the translation of the corresponding mRNA and, thereby, reduce
the available amount of
target protein in the subject=s lung. In one preferred embodiment of this
invention, the phosphodiester
residues of the anti-sense oligonucleotide are modified or substituted.
Chemical analogs of
oligonucleotides with modified or substituted phosphodiester residues, e.g.,
to the methylphosphonate,
the phosphotriester, the phosphorothioate, the phosphorodlthioate, or the
phosphoramidate, a=
methoxy ethyl and similar modifications, which increase the in vivo stability
of the oligonucleotide are
particularly preferred. The naturally occurring phosphodiester linkages of
oligonucleotides are
susceptible to some degree of degradation by cellular nucleases. Many of the
residues proposed herein,
on the contrary, are highly resistant to nuclease degradation. See, Milligan
et al,; Cohen, J. S. D., supra.
In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the oligonucleotides may be
protected from
degradation by adding a "3'-end cap" by which nuclease-resistant linkages are
substituted for
phosphodiester linkages at the 3' end of the oligonucleotide. See, Tidd, D. M.
and Warenius, H.M., Be.
J. Cancer 60: 343-350 (1989); Shaw, J.P et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 19: 747-750
(1991), the relevant
section of which are incorporated in their entireties herein by reference.
Phosphoramidates,
phosphorothioates, and methylphosphonate linkages all function adequately in
this manner for the
purposes of this invention, as do a' modifications, such as a' methoxy ethyl,
and the like. The more
extensive the modification of the phosphodiester backbone the more stable the
resulting agent, and in
many instances the higher their RNA affinity and cellular petTneation. See,
Milligan, et al., supra. In
addition, a plurality of substitutions to the carbohydrate ring are also known
to improve stability of
nucleic acids. Thus, the number of residues which may be modified or
substituted will vary depending
on the need, target, and route of administranon, and may be from 1 to all the
residues, to any number in
between. Many different methods for replacing the entire phosphodiester
backbone with novel linkages
are known, See, Millikan et al, supra. Preferred backbone analogue residues
include phosphoramidate,
phosphorothioate, methylphosphonate, phosphorotriester, phosphotriester,
thiofotmacetal,


CA 02330022 2000-11-30
WO OO1G273G PCT/US00lU802U
phosphorodithioate, phosphoramidate, fortrlacetal, trifortnacetal, thioether,
carbamate,
boranophosphate, 3'-thioformacetal, 5'-thioether, carbonate, Cs-substituted
nucleotides, 5'-N-
carbamate, sulfate, sulfonate, sulfamate, sulfonamide, sulfone, sulfite, 2'-O
methyl, sulfoxide, sulfide,
hydroxylamine, methylene(methylimino) (MMI), methoxymethyl (MOM), and
methoxyethyl(MOE),
and methyleneoxy(methylimino) (MOMI) residues, and combinations thereof.
Phosphorothioate and
methylphosphonate-modified oligonucleotides are particularly preferred due to
their availability
through automated oligonucleotide synthesis. See, Millikan et al, supra. Where
appropriate, the agent
of this invention may be administered in the form of their pharmaceutically
acceptable salts, or as a
mixture of the anti-sense ohgonucleotide and its salt. In another embodiment
of this invention, a
mixture of different anti-sense oligonucleohdes or their pharmaceutically
acceptable salts is
administered. A single agent of this invention has the capacity to attenuate
the expression of a target
mRNA and/or various agents to enhance or attenuate the activity of a pathway.
By means of example,
the present method may be practiced by identifying all possible
deoxyribonucleotide segments which
ate low in thymidine (T) or deoxynucleotide segments low in adenosine (A) of
about 7 or more
mononucleotides, preferably up to about 60 mononucleotides, more preferably
about 10 to about 36
mononucleotides, and still more preferably about 12 to about 21
mononucleotides, in a target mRNA
or a gene, respectively. This may be attained by searching for mononucleotide
segments within a target
sequence which are low in, or lack thymidine (RNA), a nucleotide which is
complementary to
adenosine, or that are low in adenosine (gene), that are 7 or more nucleotides
long. In most cases, this
search typically results in about 10 to 30 such sequences, i.e. naturally
Lacking or having less than
about 40% adenosine, anti-sense oligonucleotides of varying lengths for a
typical target mRNA of
average length, i.e., about 1800 nucleotides long. Those with high content of
1' or A, respectively, may
be fixed by substitution of a universal base for one or more As. The agents)
of this invention may be
of any suitable length, including but not limited to, about 7 to about 60
nucleotides long, preferably
about 12 to about 45, more preferably up to about 30 nucleotides long, and
still more preferably up to
about 21, although they may be of other lengths as well, depending on the
particular target and the
mode of delivery. The agents) of the invention may be directed to any and all
segments of a target
RNA. One preferred group of agents) includes those directed to an mRNA region
containing a
junction between an introit and an exon. Where the agent is directed to an
intron/exon junction, it may
either entirely overlie the junction or it may be sufficiently close to the
junction to inhibit the splicing-
out of the intervening exon during processing of precursor mRNA to mature
mRNA, e.g. with the 3' or
5' terminus of the anti-sense oligonucleotide being positioned within about,
for example, within about
2 to 10, preferably about 3 to 5, nucleotide of the intron/exon junction. Also
preferred are anti-sense
oligonucleotides which overlap the initiation codon, and those near the 5' and
3' termini of the coding
region. The flanking regions of the exons may also be targeted as well as the
spliced segments in the
precursor mRNAs. The mRNA sequences of the adenosine receptors and of many
other targets are
derived from the DNA base sequence of the gene expressing either receptors, e.
g, the adenosine
receptors, the enzymes, factors, or other targets associated with airway
disease. For example, the
sequence of the genomic human A, adenosine receptor is known and is disclosed
in U.S. Patent No.
5,320,963 to Stiles, G., et al. The A, adenosine receptor has been cloned,
sequenced and expressed in
rat (see, Zhou, F., et al., P.N.A.S. (USA) 89: 7432 ( 1992)) and human (see,
Jacobson, M. A., et al.,
U.K, Patent Application No. 9304582.1 ( 1993)). The sequence of the adenosine
A2h receptor gene is
also known. See, Salvatore, C. A., Luneau, C. J., Johnson, R. G. and Jacobson,
M., Genomics ( 1995),
the relevant portion of which is hereby incorporated in tts entirety by
reference. The sequences of
many of the remaining exemplary target genes are also known. See, GenBank,
NIH. The sequences of
those genes whose sequences are not yet available may be obtained by isolating
the target segments
applying technology known in the art. Once the sequence of the gene, its RNA
andlor the protein are
known, an anti-sense oligonucleotides may be produced according to this
invention as described above
to reduce the production of the targeted protein in accordance u~irh standard
techniques. The sequences
for the adenosine A" bradykinin, and other genes as well as methods for
preparation of


CA 02330022 2000-11-30
WO 00/62736 PCT/lJS00/08020
oligonucleotides are also known as those of many other target genes and mRNAs
for which this
invention is suitable. Thus, anti-sense oligonucleotides that downregulate the
production of target
sequences associated with airway disease, including the adenosine A,, A" Aip,
A3, bradykinin, GATA-
3, COX-2, and many other receptors, may be produced in accordance with
standard techniques.
Examples of diseases and conditions which are suitably treated by the present
method are diseases and
conditions, including Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome CARDS), asthma,
adenosine administration
e.g. in the treatment of SupraVentricular Tachycardia (SVT) and other
arrhythmias, and in stress tests
to hyper-sensitized individuals, ischemia, renal damage or failure induced by
certain drugs, infantile
respiratory distress syndrome, pain, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension,
pulmonary
vasoconstriction, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD),
pulmonary
transplantation rejection, pulmonary infections, and cancers such as
leukemias, lymphomas,
carcinomas, and the like, including colon cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer,
pancreatic cancer,
hepatocellular carcinoma, kidney cancer, melanoma, hepatic metastases, etc.,
as well as all types of
cancers which may metastasize or have metastasized to the lung(s), including
breast and prostate
I S cancer.
The adenosine receptors discussed above are mere examples of the high power of
the
inventor=s technology. In fact, a large number of genes may be targeted in a
similar manner by the
present agent(s), to reduce or down-regulate protein expression. By means of
example, if the target
disease or condition is one associated with impeded or reduced breathing,
bronchoconstriction, chronic
ZO bronchitis, pulmonary bronchoconstriction and/or hypertension, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD), pulmonary transplantation rejection, pulmonary infections, allergy,
asthma, cystic fibrosis,
respiratory distress syndrome, cancers, which either directly or by metastasis
afflict the lung, the
present method may be applied to a list of potential target mRNAs, which
includes the targets listed in
Table 1 and Table 2 below, among others. The anti-sense agents) of the
invention have a low A
25 content to prevent its liberation upon in vivo degradation of the agent(s).
For example, if the system is
the pulmonary or respiratory system, a large number of genes is involved in
different functions,
including those listed in Table 1 below.

These genes, and others, are involved in the normal functioning of respiration
as well as in
diseases associated with respiratory pathologies, including cystic fibrosis,
asthma, pulmonary
hypertension and vasoconstriction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD), pulmonary
transplantation rejection, pulmonary infections, chronic bronchitis,
respiratory distress syndrome
CARDS), allergic rhinitis, lung cancer and lung metastatic cancers and other
airway diseases, including
those with inflammatory response.
Anti-sense oligos to the target receptors, e. g. the adenosine A" AZ" Aib, and
A~ receptors,
CCR3 (chemokine receptors), bradykinin 2B, CAM (vascular cell adhesion
molecule), and eosinophil
receptors, among others, have been shown to be effective m down-regulating the
expression of their
genes. Some of these act to alleviate the symptoms or reduce respiratory
ailments and/or inflammation,
for example, by "down regulation" of the adenosine A" A~" AZe, and/or A,
receptors and CCR3,
bradykinin 2B, VCAM (vascular cell adhesion molecule) and eosinophil
receptors. These agents may
be utilized by the present method alone or in conjunction with anti-sense
oligos targeted to other genes
to validate pathway and/or networks in which they are involved. For better
results, the oligos are
IS preferably administered directly into the respiratory system, e.g., by
inhalation or other means, of the
experimental animal, so that they may reach the lungs without widespread
systemic dissemination.
This permits the use of low agent doses as compared with those administered
systemically of by other
generalized routes and, consequently, reduces the number and degree of
undesirable side effects
resulting from the agent=s widespread distribution in the body. 'IZte agents)
of this invention has
(have) been shown to reduce the amount of receptor protein expressed by the
tissue. These agents,
thus, rather than merely interacting with their targets, a g. a receptor,
lower the number of target
proteins that other drugs may interact with. In this manner, the present
agents) affords) extremely
high efficacy with low toxicity. Anti-sense oligonucleotides to the A, , A~b,
A,, bradykinin B2, GATA-
3, CAM (vascular cell adhesion molecule), eosinophil receptors, and COX-2
receptors, among others,
have been shown to be affective in the down-regulation of the respective
receptor proteins in the cell.
One novel feature of this treatment, as compared to traditional treatments for
adenosine-mediated
bronchoconstriction, is that administration is direct to the lungs, or in situ
to other tissues, organs or
systems of the body. Additionally, a receptor protein itself is reduced in
amount, rather than merely
interacting with a drug, and toxicity is reduced. Other proteins that may be
targeted with anti-sense
agents for the treatment of lung conditions include, but are not Limited to:
CCR3 (chemokine)
receptors, human A2, adenosine receptor, human Azb adenosine receptor, human
IgE receptor [3, human
Fc-epsilon receptor CD23 antigen, human histidine decarboxylase, human beta

genes is provided below.
Some of these act to alleviate the symptoms or reduce respiratory ailments
and/or inflammation, for
example, by "down regulation" of the adenosine A,, AI" A2b, and/or A,
receptors and CCR3,
bradykinin 2B, VCAM (vascular cell adhesion molecule) and eosinophil
receptors. These agents are
preferably administered directly into the respiratory system, e.g., by

thus, rather than merely interacting with their targets, e.g. a receptor,
lower the number of target
proteins that other drugs may interact with. In this manner, the present
agents) affords) extremely
high efficacy with low toxicity. In these latter targeu, and in target genes
in general, it is particularly
imperative to eliminate or reduce the adenosine content of the corresponding
anti-sense
oligonucIeotide to prevent their breakdown products from liberating adenosine.
As used herein, the term "treat" or "treating" asthma refers to a treatment
which decreases the
likelihood that the subject administered such treatment will manifest symptoms
of the lung disease.
The term "dowttregulate" refers to inducing a decrease in production,
secretion or availability (and thus
a decrease in concentration) of the targeted intracellular protein. The
present invention is concerned
primarily with the treatment of human subjects. However, the agents and
methods disclosed here may
also be employed for veterinary purposes, such as is the case in the treatment
of other mammals, such
as cattle, horses, wild animals, zoo animals, and domestic animals, e. g. dogs
and cats. Targeted
proteins are preferably mammalian and more preferably of the same species as
the subject being
treated. In general, "anti-sense" refers to the use of small, synthetic
oligonucleotides, resembling
single-stranded DNA, to inhibit gene expression by inhibiting the function of
the target messenger
RNA (mRNA). Milligan, J. F. et al., J. Med. Chem. 36(14), 1923-1937 (1993). 1n
the present
invention, inhibition of gene expression of the A, or A3 adenosine receptor is
desired. Gene expression
is inhibited through hybridization to coding (sense) sequences in a specific
messenger RNA (mRNA)
target by hydrogen bonding according to Watson-Crick base pairing rules. The
mechanism of anti-
sense inhibition is that the exogenously applied oligonucleotides decrease the
mRNA and protein levels
of the target gene or cause changes in the growth Characteristics or shapes of
the cells. Id. See, also

J. S. D., Ed.,
Oligodeoxynucleotides as Anti-sense Inhibitors of Gene Expression; CRC Press:
Boca Raton, FL
( 1987). As used herein, "anti-sense oligonucleotide" is defined as a short
sequence of synthetic
nucleotide that (1) hybridizes to any coding sequence in an mRNA which codes
for the targeted
protein, according to hybridization conditions described below, and (2) upon
hybridization causes a
decrease in gene expression of the A, or A, adenosine receptor. The receptors
discussed above are
mere examples of the high power of the present technology. In fact, a large
number of genes may be
targeted in a similar manner by practicing the present methods, to
significantly down-regulate or
obliterate protein expression and observe any changes wrought to one or more
functions within a
system, e.g. the respiratory system and other lung disease associated targets.
By means of example, in
the respiratory system, the targets may be associated With difficulties of
breathing,
bronchoconstriction, inflammation, allergic rhynitis, chronic bronchitis,
surfactant depletion, and
others associated with diseases and conditions such as chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD),
pulmonary transplantation rejection, pulmonary infections, inhalation bums,
Acute Respiratory
Distress Syndrome (ARDS), cystic fibrosis, pulmonary fibrosis, radiation
pulmonitis, tonsilitis,
emphysema, dental pain, oral inflammation, joint pain, esophagitis, cancers
afflicting the respiratory
system either directly such as Lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and the like,
or indirectly by means of
metastases, among others. These functions are of great interest because of
their association with
respiratory dysfunction, as is the case in asthma, allergies, allergic
rhinitis, pulmonary
bronchoconstriction and hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD), pulmonary
transplantation rejection, pulmonary infections, allergy, asthma, cystic
fibrosis (CF), Acute Respiratory
Distress Syndrome CARDS) as well as infantile and pregnancy-related RDS,
cancer, ere., which either
directly or by metastasis afflict the lung, the present anti-sense
oligonucleotides may be directed to a
list of target mRNAs, which includes the targets listed in Table I above,
among others.
The oligos of this invention may be obtained by first selecting fragments of a
target nucleic
acid having at least 4 contiguous nucleic acids selected from the group
consisting of G and C and/or
having a specific type and/or extent of activity, and then obtaining a first
oligonucleotide 4 to 60
nucleotides long which comprises the selected fragment and has a thymidine (T)
nucleic acid content

of up to and including about 15%, preferably, about 12%, about 10%, about 7%,
about 5%, about 3%,
about 1%, and more preferably no thymidine. The latter step may be conducted
by obtaining a second
oligonucleotide 4 to GO nucleotides long comprising a sequence which is anti-
sense to the selected
fragment, the second oligonucleotide having an adenosine base content of up to
and including about
15%, preferably about 12%, about t0%, about 7%, about 5%, about 3%, about I%,
and more
preferably no adenosine. When the selected fragment comprises at (east one
thymidine base, an
adenosine base may be substituted in the corresponding anti-sense nucleotide
fragment with a universal
base selected from the group consisting of heteroaromatic bases which bind to
a thymidine base but
have less than about bout 10%, preferably less than about 1%, and more
preferably less than about
0.3% of the adenosine base agonist activity at the adenosine A" Aza, A2,, and
A, receptors, and
heteroaromatic bases which have no activity at the adenosine A2°
receptor, when validating in the
respiratory system. Other adenosine activities in other systems may be
detetmmed in other systems, as
appropriate. The analogue heteroaromatic bases may be selected from all
pyrimidines and purines,
which may be substituted by O, halo, NH2, SH, SO, SOi, SO,, OOOH and branched
and fused primary
and secondary amino, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl,

is known in the art, but
preferred are those which are substituted at positions I, 2, 3, 4, 7 and/or 8.

Reduced adenosine content of the anti-sense oligos corresponding to the
thymidines (T') present in the
target RNA serves to prevent the breakdown of the oligos into products that
free adenosine into thZ
system, e.g. the lung, brain, heart, kidney, ere., tissue environment and,
thereby, to prevent any
unwanted effects due to it. By means of example, the Nf6B transcription factor
may be selected as a
target, and its rnRNA or DNA searched for low thymidine (T) or desthymidine
(desT) fragments. Only
desT segments of the mRNA or DNA are selected which, in rum, will produce desA
anti-sense as their
complementary strand. When a number of RNA des'f segments are found, the
sequence of the anti.
sense segments may be deduced. Typically, about 10 to 30 and even larger
numbers of desA apti-sense
sequences may be obtained. These anti-sense sequences may include some or all
desA anti-sense
oligonucleotide sequences corresponding to desT segments of the mRNA of the
target, such as anyone
of those shown in Table I above, in Table 2 below, and others associated with
functions of the brain,
cardiovascular and renal systems, and many others. When this occurs, the anti-
sense oligonucleotides
found are said to be 100% A-free. For each of the original desA anti-sense
oligonucleotide sequences
corresponding to the target gene, e_g. the NF6B transcription factor,
typically about 10 to 30 sequences
may be found within the target gene or RNA which have a low content of
thymidine (RNA). In
accordance with this invention, the selected fragment sequences may also
contain a small number of
thymidine (RNA) nucleotides within the secondary or tertiary or quaternary
sequences. In some cases,


CA 02330022 2000-11-30
WO 00162736 PCT/US00/08020
1.t
a large adenosine content may suffice to render the anti-sense oligonucleotide
less active or even
inactive against the target. In accordance with this invention, these so
called "non-fully desA"
sequences may preferably have a content of adenosine of less than about 15%,
about 12%, about 10%,
about 7%, about 5%, and about 2% adenosine. Most preferred is no adenosine
content (0%). In some
instances, however, a higher content of adenosine is acceptable and the
oligonucleotides still fail to
show detrimental "adenosine activity". A particular important embodiment is
that where the adenosine
nucleotide is "fixed" or replaced by a "Universal or alternative" base that
may base-pair with similar or
equal affinity to two or more of the four nucleotide present in natural DNA:
A, G, C, and T.
A universal or alternative base is defined in this patent as any compound,
more commonly an
adenosine analogue, which has substantial capacity to hybridize to thymidine,
while at the same time
having reduced, or substantially lacking, ability to bind adenosine receptors
or other molecules through
which adenosine may exert an undesirable side effect in the experimental
animal or in a cell system.
Alternatively, adenosine analogs which completely fail to activate, or have
significantly reduce ability
for activating, adenosine receptors, such as the adenosine A" ,4z6 andlor A,
receptors, most preferably
A, receptors, and those that may even act as agonists of the adenosine Az"
receptor, may be used. One
example of a universal base is a-deoxyribofuranosol-(5-nitroittdole), and an
artisan will know how to
select others. This "fixing" step generates further novel sequences, different
from those anti-sense to
the ones found in nature, that permits the anti-sense ohgonucleotide to bind,
preferably equally well,
with the target RNA. Other examples of universal or alternative bases are 2-
deoxyribosyl-(S-
ZO nitroindole). Other examples of universal bases are 3 - nitropyrrole - 2' -
deoxynucleoside, 5 - nitro-
indole, 2 - deoxyribosyl - (5 - nitroindole), 2-deoxyribofuranosyl - (5-
nitroindole), 2' - deoxyinosine, 2'
-deoxynebularine, 6H, 8H-3,4-dihydropyrimido [ 4, 5 - c] oxazine - 7 - one and
2 - amino - 6 -methoxy
aminopurine. In addition to the above, Universal bases which may be
substituted for any other base
although with somewhat reduced hybridization potential, include 3 -
nitropyrrole 2' - deoxynucleoside
2 - deoxyribofuranosyl - (5 - nitroindole), 2' - deoxyinosine and 2' -
deoxynebularine (Glen Research,
Sterling, VA). More specific mismatch repairs may be made using "P"
nucleotide, 6H, 8H - 3, 4 -
dihydropyrimido [4,5 - c] [l, 2] oxazin - 7 - one, which base pairs with
either guanine (G) or adenine
(A) and "K" nucleotide, 2 - amino - 6 - methoxyaminopurine, which base pairs
with either cytidine (C)
or thymidine (T), among others. Others which are known in the art or will
become available are also
suitable. See, for example, Loakes, D. and Brown, D. M., Nucl. Acids Res.

4043 ( 1994), the entire sections relating to universal bases and their
preparation and use in nucleic acid
binding being incorporated herein by reference. When non-fully desT sequences
are found in the
naturally occurring target, they typically are selected so that about 1 to 3
universal base substitutions
will suffice to obtain a 100% "desA" anti-sense oligonucleotide. 'thus, the
present method provides
either anti-sense oligonucleotides to different targets which are low in, or
devoid of, A content, as well
as anti-sense oligonucleotides where one or more adenosine nucleotides, e. g.
about 1 to 3, or more,
may be "fixed" by replacement with a "Universal" or "replacement" base.
Universal bases are known
in the art and need not be listed herein. An artisan will know which bases may
act as universal bases,
and replace them for A. Table 2 below provides a selected number of targets to
which the agents of the
invention are effectively applied. Others, however, may also be targeted.

A group of preferred targets for the treatment of cancer are genes associated
with any of
different types of cancers, or those generally known to be associated with
malignancies, whether they
are regulatory or involved in the production of RNA and/or proteins. Examples
are transforming
oncogenes, including, but not limited to, ras, src, myc, and BGL-2, among
others. Other targets are
15 those to which present cancer chemotherapeutic agents are directed to, such
as various enzymes,
primarily, although not exclusively, thymidylate synthetase, dihydrofolate
reductase, thymidine kinase,
deoxycytidine kinase, ribonucleotide reductase, and the like. The present
technology is particularly
useful in the treatment of cancer ailments given that traditional cancer
therapies are naught with the
unresolved problem of selectively killing cancer cells while preserving normal
living cells from the
devastating effects of treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and the
like. The present
technology provides the abiiiry of selectively attenuating or enhancing a
desired pathway or target.
This approach provides a significant advantage over standard treatments of
cancer because it permits
the selection of a pathway, including primary, secondary and possibly tertiary
targets, which are not
generally expressed simultaneously in normal cells. Thus, the present agent
may be administered to a
subject to cause a selective increase in toxicity within tumor cells that, for
instance, express all three
targets while normal cells that may expresses only one or two of the targets
will be significantly less
affected or even spared. A group of preferred targets for the treatment of
cancers are genes associated
with different types of cancers, or those generally known to be associated
with malignancies, whether
they are regulatory or involved in the production of RNA and/or proteins.
Examples are transfotining
oncogenes, including, but not limited to, ras, src, myc, and BCL-2, among
others. Other targets are
those to which present cancer chemotherapeutic agents are directed to, such as
various enzymes,
primarily, although not exclusively, thymidylate synthetase, dihydrofolate
reductase, thymidine kinase,
deoxycytidine kinase, ribonucleotide reductase, and the like.

WO 00/62736 17 PCT/US00/08020
DNA and/or RNA sequences, fragments thereof of up to a length of one ( 1 )
base less than the targeted
sequence, preferably at least about 7 nucleotides long, oligos having only
over about 0.02%, more
preferably over about 0.1%, still more preferably over about
1°i°, and even more preferably over about
4% adenosine nucleotides, and up to about 30%, more preferably up to about

trigger adenosine receptor activity. Examples of human sequences and
fragments, which are not
limiting, of anti-sense oligonucleotide of the invention are the following
fragments as well as shorter
segments of the fragments and of the full gene or mRNA coding sequences, exons
and intron-exon
junctions encompassing preferably 7, 10, IS, 18 to 21, 24, 27, 30, n-t
nucleotides for each sequence,
where n is the sequence=s total number of nucleotides. These fragments may be
selected from any
portion of the longer oligo, for example, from the middle, S'- end, 3'- end or
starting at any other site of
the original sequence. Of particular importance are fragments of low adenosine
nucleotide content, that
1 S is, those fragments containing less than or about 30%, preferably less
than or about 1 S%, more
preferably less than or about 10%, and even more preferably Less than or about
5%, and most
preferably those devoid of adenosine nucleotide, either by choice or by
replacement with a universal
base in accordance with this invention. The agent of the invention includes as
a most preferred group
sequences and their fragments where one or more adenosines present in the
sequence have been
replaced by a universal base (B), as exemplified here. Similarly, also
encompassed are all shorter
fragments of the B-containing fragments designed by substitution of B(s) for

Some of the examples of anti-sense oligonucleotide sequence fragments target
the initiation
codon of the respective gene, and in some cases adenosine is substituted with
a universal or alternative
base adenosine analogue denoted as "B", which lacks ability to bind to the
adenosine A, andlor A,
receptors. In fact, such replacement nucleotide acts as a "spacer. Many of the
examples shown below
provide one such sequence and many fragments overlapping the initiation codon,
preferably wherein
the number of nucleotides n is about 7, about 10, about 12, about 15, about
18, about 21 and up to
about 28, about 3S, about 40, about 50, about 60.
