Perfluoroalkylchain conjugation as a new tactic for enhancing cell permeability of peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) via reducing the nanoparticle size.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Perfluoro undecanoyl chain conjugated peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) show 2.5 to 3 fold higher cellular uptake efficiency in NIH 3T3 and HeLa cells compared to simple undecanoyl PNAs. Fluorination of PNAs leads to the formation of lower size (∼100-250 nm) nanoparticles compared to larger size (∼500 nm) nanoparticles from non-fluorinated PNAs, thereby improving the efficiency of cell penetration.

Introduction: Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is a very promising new therapy for the treatment of recurrent B-Cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Iodine-131 is the most frequently used nuclide in clinical RIT, but its usefulness has been limited by dehalogenation of monoclonal antibodies labeled via conventional methods. To circumvent this problem, we have synthesized a tr...

Gold nanoparticles have attracted much interest as a platform for development of multifunctional imaging and therapeutic agents. Multifunctionalized gold nanoparticles are generally constructed by covalent assembly of a gold core with thiolated ligands. In this study, we have assembled multifunctionalized gold nanoparticles in one step by nucleic acid hybridization of ODN (oligodeoxynucleotide)...
