duplex-bindable molecule with an oligodiaminosaccharide structure. These 2,6-diamino-2,6-dideoxy-(1-4)-β-d-galactopyranose oligomers (oligodiaminogalactoses; ODAGals) conjugated with α-tocopherol (vitamin E; VE) or a VE analog were designed as novel siRNA-bindable molecules that can be utilized to deliver RNAi drugs to the liver. Among these compounds, the VE analog-bound ODAGal was suggested to bind
RNA干扰(RNAi)是一种
基因调控系统,由外部短干扰RNA(siRNA)控制。siRNA的序列选择性
基因沉默在临床研究中显示出希望。但是,几乎没有有效的方法可将siRNA传递至靶细胞。在这项研究中,我们提出了一种新型的具有寡二
氨基糖结构的RNA双链可结合分子。将这些与α-
生育酚(
维生素E; VE)或VE类似物缀合的2,6-二
氨基-2,6-二脱氧-(1-4)-β- d-
吡喃半
乳糖低聚物(oligodiaminogalactoses;
ODAGals)设计为新型siRNA可用于将RNAi药物递送至肝脏的可结合分子。在这些化合物中,VE-结合的
ODAGal被建议与RNA双链体结合而不抑制RNAi活性。
