Abstract: | A novel approach based on a plasma membrane permeability-disturbing agent was proposed as an antisense oligonucleotide delivery system. AMA, a derivative of the polyene antibiotic amphotericin B, formed a stable complex when mixed with phosphodiester oligodeoxynucleotides and enhanced the intracellular uptake of a 5' fluoresceinated anti-mdr1 20-mer into NIH-MDR-G185 cells. The nonlabeled phosphorothioate form of the oligodeoxynucleotide, complexed to AMA, inhibited P-glycoprotein expression with better efficiency and less nonspecific effects than when vectorized by Lipofectin. AMA may thus be a good agent for antisense strategy. |
