A patent application (Publication Number: US20240026358A1) has been filed for an oligonucleotide with specific structural features designed to modify target adenosines in nucleic acids. The oligonucleotide comprises a first domain and a second domain, with the first domain containing 2'-F blocks and separating blocks. When this oligonucleotide interacts with a target nucleic acid containing a target adenosine, the adenosine is converted to inosine. The patent claims cover various aspects of the oligonucleotide's structure, including the number of modified sugars and internucleotidic linkages, as well as the length and composition of the domains.

Furthermore, the patent application describes methods for preparing, characterizing, and using the oligonucleotide to modify target adenosines in nucleic acids. These methods involve contacting the oligonucleotide with a target nucleic acid and an adenosine deaminase enzyme to induce the desired modifications. The application also includes claims related to pharmaceutical compositions containing the oligonucleotide, as well as methods for preventing or treating conditions associated with specific mutations, such as G to A mutations. Overall, the patent application outlines a novel oligonucleotide design and associated methods for targeted nucleic acid modification with potential therapeutic applications.
