3'-End conjugates of minimally phosphorothioate-protected oligonucleotides with 1-O-hexadecylglycerol: synthesis and anti-ras activity in radiation-resistant cells.

Abstract excerpt

Activation of the ras oncogene has been implicated in many types of human tumors. It has been shown that downmodulation of ras expression can lead to the reversion of the transformed phenotype of these tumor cells. Antisense oligodeoxyribonucleotides (ODNs) can inhibit gene expression by hybridization to complementary mRNA sequences. To minimize toxicity associated with all-phosphorothioated ODNs and improve...
