Selective targeting of oncogenic KRAS G12D using peptide nucleic acid oligomers attached to cell-penetrating peptides
2025-04-02
Abstract excerpt
KRAS is a proto-oncogene that contains activating mutations in up to 30% of tumors. Many conventional therapies inhibit both cancerous and normal cells, which may cause toxicity. Thus, programmable mutant-selective targeted inhibitors are needed. Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) incorporate base sequences analogous to DNA, with modified peptide backbones instead of ribose-phosphate backbones, allowing PNAs to hybridiz...
