Methods to generate analogs of coenzyme A in vitro and in vivo are disclosed. The methods comprise reacting pantetheine or a derivative thereof with a reporter to form labeled pantetheine or a derivative thereof, phosphorylating the labeled pantetheine or derivative thereof to form phosphopantetheine or a derivative thereof, adenylating the labeled phosphopantetheine or derivative thereof to form a labeled dephosphoCoenzyme A or derivative thereof, and phosphorylating the 3′-hydrozyl of the labeled dephosphoCoenzume A or derivative thereof to form a labeled coenzyme A analog or derivative thereof.
Methods to generate analogs of coenzyme A in vivo are disclosed. The methods to generate analogs of coenzyme A in a cell comprise reacting pantetheine or a derivative thereof with a reporter to form labeled pantetheine or a derivative thereof, contacting the cell with the labeled pantetheine or derivative thereof such that the labeled pantetheine or derivative thereof enters the cell, phosphorylating the labeled pantetheine or derivative thereof to form phosphopantetheine or a derivative thereof, adenylating the labeled phosphopantetheine or derivative thereof to form a labeled dephosphoCoenzyme A or derivative thereof, and phosphorylating the 3′-hydroxyl of the labeled dephosphoCoenzyme A or derivative thereof to form a labeled coenzyme A analog or derivative thereof.
Compositions and methods disclosed herein can help provide improved delivery of non-natural therapeutic nucleotides for the treatment of diseases such as cancer. An example composition includes an assembly of amphiphilic polynucleotides, where each amphiphilic polynucleotide includes an aptamer portion, a first nucleotide portion, and a second nucleotide portion.
