Antisense-Oligonucleotide Therapy
New England Journal of Medicine, 1996Many pharmacologic advances involve creating compounds that bind and disable proteins. Such compounds include propranolol, which blocks the β-adrenergic receptor; cimetidine, which blocks the H2 receptor; calcium-channel blockers; angiotensin-converting–enzyme inhibitors; and inhibitors of the H+/K+–ATPase pump.

Antisense Oligonucleotide Drug Design
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2004Maneuvering single gene expression is not only an optimal way to study gene function but also an ambitious goal, which will lead to the treatment of a variety of human diseases whose main pathogenetic event is a genetic alteration. The recent efforts focusing on the genome project have led to array based, high throughput, gene expression analysis ...

Purification of antisense oligonucleotides
2000Chromatography is an effective tool for obtaining high-purity synthetic oligonucleotides for a variety of end uses, including antisense drug therapy. Reversed-phase and anion-exchange chromatographies are widely used techniques for this application. While selectivity of these techniques can be modified by methods such as ion-pair RP-HPLC or affinity ...

Therapeutic implications of antisense oligonucleotides
International Journal of Clinical & Laboratory Research, 1992Antisense oligonucleotides and their derivatives have been shown to be specific inhibitors of gene expression. They are considered a very promising new generation of drugs, potentially useful in most human diseases, including cancers and viral infections.

ANTISENSE OLIGONUCLEOTIDES AS THERAPEUTIC AGENTS
Pharmacological Research, 1997The potential for modulating gene expression by the use of antisense oligonucleotides has become increasingly interesting in recent years. Antisense oligonucleotides are complementary nucleic acid fragments that hybridize to target sequences within RNA to form a DNA-RNA duplex, resulting in the block of translation of messenger RNA into the protein ...

Antisense oligonucleotides for therapeutic intervention
Current Biology, 1991Advances have been made in defining the best target sequences for use in antisense oligonucleotide technology, and new chemical derivatives of oligonucleotides are being investigated. Although the potential use of antisense oligonucleotide agents in the treatment of neoplastic, viral and parasitic diseases continues to be explored, they are not yet ...

Structural modifications of antisense oligonucleotides
Il Farmaco, 2003Antisense oligonucleotides are efficient tools for the inhibition of gene expression in a sequence specific way. Natural oligonucleotides are decomposed rapidly in biological systems, which strongly restrict their application. In contrast, artificial oligonucleotides are designed to be more stable against degradation than the target mRNA, which results

Antisense oligonucleotide treatments for psoriasis
Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy, 2004Antisense oligonucleotides are emerging as an exciting therapeutic strategy for treating skin diseases such as psoriasis. Potential antisense targets are proteins upregulated in psoriatic skin, in particular those associated with inflammation (intercellular adhesion molecule [ICAM]-1, IL-2 and -8), proliferation (insulin-like growth factor type I ...

Seminars in cancer biology, 1992
Growing evidence indicates that antisense oligodeoxynucleotides can specifically inhibit gene expression thereby providing an essential tool for understanding gene function and the potential to affect abnormal cell proliferation. Because oncogene activation is intimately involved in tumour initiation and progression, down-regulation of oncogene ...
