| abstract |
The present disclosure describes cyclohexenyl nucleic acid analogs, oligomeric compounds prepared therefrom and methods of using the oligomeric compounds. More particularly, cyclohexenyl nucleic acid analogs are provided, having one or more chiral substituents, that are expected to be useful for enhancing properties of oligomeric compounds including nuclease resistance and binding affinity. In some embodiments, the oligomeric compounds provided herein hybridize to a portion of a target RNA resulting in loss of normal function of the target RNA. |
