Several oligothymidylates containing various ratios of phosphodiester and isopolar 50-hydroxyphosphonate, 50-O-methylphosphonate and 30-O-methylphosphonate internucleotide linkages were examined with respect to their hybridization properties with oligoriboadenylates and their ability to induce RNA cleavage by ribonuclease H (RNase H). The results demonstrated that the increasing number of 50-hydroxyphosphonate or 50-Omethylphosphonate units in antisense oligonucleotides (AOs) significantly stabilizes the heteroduplexes, whereas 30-O-methylphosphonate AOs cause strong destabilization of the heteroduplexes. Only the heteroduplexes with 50-O-methylphosphonate units in the antisense strand exhibited a significant increase in Escherichia coli RNase H cleavage activity by up to 3-fold (depending on the ratio of phosphodiester and phosphonate linkages) in comparison with the natural heteroduplex. A similar increase in RNase H cleavage activity was also observed for heteroduplexes composed of miRNA191 and complementary AOs containing 50-O-methylphosphonate units. We propose for this type of AOs, working via the RNase H mechanism, the abbreviation MEPNA
