Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9804575A2] The invention discloses lipophilic oligonucleotide analogs that are capable of efficient passive diffusion across cell membranes. These oligonucleotides contain at least two nucleotide residues and have an octanol:water partition coefficient of about -0.3 to + 2.5 and a solubility in water of at least 0.001 mu g/mL. Invention embodiments which include lipophilic oligonucleotide analogs having either at least 60 % of the internucleotide linkages are lipophilic, or at least 60 % of the bases contain lipophilic substitutions, or at least 60 % of the sugars contain lipophilic substitutions, or a combination of these sums to 60 %. These oligonucleotides may be conjugated to a label and used to visualize cells or subcellular compartments.
