Zusammenfassung:Modified oligonucleotides comprising CpG sites, wherein the cytosine is replaced by cytosine analogs are provided as well as methods of making the oligonucleotides and their use in inhibiting DNA Methyltransferase, inhibiting or reversing methylation of genes and in treating cancer, tumorigenesis and hyper-proliferative disorders. L'invention concerne des oligonucléotides modifiés comprenant des sites CpG, la cytosine étant remplacée par des analogues de cytosine, ainsi que des procédés de fabrication des oligonucléotides et leur utilisation dans l'inhibition de l'ADN méthyltransférase, l'inhibition ou l'inversement de la méthylation de gènes et dans le traitement du cancer, de la tumorigenèse et de troubles hyper-prolifératifs.
