Embodiments of the invention are directed to new polymer linked multimeric guanosine-3′, 5′-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) analogues that modulate the cGMP-signaling system, preferably having activating properties, and more preferably being activators of cGMP dependent protein kinase (PKG), and related monomeric precursors thereof. The invention is also directed to related monomeric compounds, which may also show modulating activity and/or may serve as monomeric precursors of the multimers. The invention further relates to the use of such compounds as reagents for signal transduction research and as modulators of cyclic nucleotide-regulated binding proteins and isoenzymes thereof, and as ligands for affinity chromatography, for antibody production or for diagnostic applications e.g. on chip surfaces.

Disclosed are P-stereogenic groups that may be used in the synthesis of compounds including stereochemically enriched P-stereogenic phosphorothioates. P-stereogenic groups may be provided in nucleoside phosphoramidites including a sugar bonded to a nucleobase and to a stereochemically enriched phosphoramidite as well as methods of their use and methods of making them.
