MsPA enhances the therapeutic index of PS gapmer ASOs. (A) Design of gapmers and gap-modifications that enhance therapeutic index. (B) Synthesis of PO, PS and MsPA ASOs. (C) Design, Tm, cytotoxicity and antisense activity of ASOs with full MsPA in gap and/or wings. (D) Dose-response curves for reducing CXCl12 mRNA in NIH 3T3 cells. (E) Design, Tm, cytotoxicity and antisense activity of ASOs with two MsPA walked across length of ASO. (F) Dose-response curves for reducing CXCl12 mRNA in NIH 3T3 cells. Blue letters indicate cEt, black DNA, subscript u = MsPA, s = PS, superscript m = 5-Me group on cytosine nucleobases.
