Antisense oligonucleotides in cancer
Current Opinion in Oncology, 2014Over the past several dozen years, regardless of the substantial effort directed toward developing rational oligonucleotide strategies to silence gene expression, antisense oligonucleotide-based cancer therapy has not been successful. This review focuses on the most likely reasons for this lack of success, and on the barriers that still need to be ...

Pharmacokinetics of Antisense Oligonucleotides
Clinical Pharmacokinetics, 1995Antisense oligonucleotides are promising therapeutic agents for the treatment of life-threatening diseases. Intravenous injection of phosphodiester oligonucleotide analogue (P-oligonucleotide) in monkeys shows that the oligonucleotide is degraded rapidly in the plasma with a half-life of about 5 minutes.

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 ...

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 oligonucleotides as therapeutic agents
Journal of Cellular Physiology, 1999Antisense oligonucleotides can block the expression of specific target genes involved in the development of human diseases. Therapeutic applications of antisense techniques are currently under investigation in many different fields. The use of antisense molecules to modify gene expression is variable in its efficacy and reliability, raising objections ...

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 ...

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.

History of Antisense Oligonucleotides
2003Biological science is a rapidly flowing experimental stream, at times encountering a dam that impedes further progress. At such a pomt, a single crack may induce a major breakthrough Discovery of the double helical structure of DNA in 1953 (1) caused such an event, with flooding of new information into the area now known as molecular biology.

Among the approaches which have been followed to convert a natural antisense phosphodiester oligonucleotide into a potential therapeutic agent, conjugation chemistry seems to be one of the most attractive. Indeed, natural phosphodiester oligonucleotide have the ideal properties (sequence specific hybridization, RNaseH activation, low or no toxicity ...

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 ...
