Abstract/OtherAbstract:
To evaluate potential improvement in tissue specific targeting and cellular uptake of therapeutic ribozymes, we have developed three new phosphoramidite reagents. These reagents can be used in automated solid-phase synthesis to produce oligonucleotide conjugates containing N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (targeting hepatocytes) and folic acid (targeting tumor). N-Acetyl-D-galactosamine was attached through a linker to both 2'-amino-2'-deoxyuridine and D-threoninol scaffolds, and these conjugates were converted to phosphoramidite building blocks. Incorporation of a D-threoninol-based monomer into ribozymes provided multiply labeled ribozyme conjugates. Attachment of the fully protected pteroic acid to the D-threoninol-6-aminocaproyl-L-glutamic acid construct afforded the folic acid conjugate, which was converted into the phosphoramidite and incorporated onto the 5'-end of the ribozyme.
