Synthesis of 3'-3'-linked oligonucleotides branched by a pentaerythritol linker is described. The branched oligonucleotides were synthesized on a DNA/RNA synthesizer using a controlled pore glass (CPG) with a pentaerythritol linker carrying 4,4'-dimethoxytrityl (DMTr) and levulinyl (Lev) groups. The stability of the triplexes between the branched oligonucleotides and the target single-stranded DNA or RNA was studied by thermal denaturation. The oligonucleotides with the pentaerythritol linker formed thermally stable triplexes with the single-stranded DNA and RNA. Furthermore, the branched oligonucleotides containing 2'-O-methylribonucleosides, especially the oligonucleotide composed of 2'-deoxyribonucleosides and 2'-O-methylribonucleosides, stabilized the triplexes with the single-stranded DNA or RNA. Thus, the branched oligonucleotide containing 2'-O-methylribonucleosides may be a candidate for a novel antisense molecule by the triplex formation.
