In this chapter, an overview of chemically modified antisense oligonucleotides (AON) for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) treatment is described. In particular, the promising exon-skipping properties of 2′-O-modified phosphorothioate oligoribonucleotides incorporating 2′-O-[2-(N-methycarbamoyl)ethyl]ribonucleosides that could be readily synthesized by new regioselective oxa-Michael reaction are reviewed in detail.
