In this short review, recent developments in the syntheses of antisense DNAs are described. The antisense DNA/RNA method is one of the ways to regulate gene expression specifically and uses sequence specific DNAs and their analogs, namely antisense DNAs. They have been designed and synthesized in order to meet requirements, for use in living systems, such as selectivity, nuclease resistance, cell membrane permeability, and duplex stability. The design is mainly focused on the modification of phosphate backbones, the modification of sugar moieties, and the introduction of functional molecules into antisense DNAs. The ability of these antisense DNAs to regulate gene expression are also discussed as well as biological studies.
