Drug Delivery of Antisense Molecules to the Brain for Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease and Cerebral AIDS

Antisense oligonucleotides (ODNs) and peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are potential therapeutics for eradication of malignancies, viral infections, and other pathologies. However, ODNs and PNAs in general are unable to cross cellular membranes and blood–tissue barriers, such as the blood–brain barrier...

Zusammenfassung:Antisense oligonucleotides (ODNs) and peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are potential therapeutics for eradication of malignancies, viral infections, and other pathologies. However, ODNs and PNAs in general are unable to cross cellular membranes and blood–tissue barriers, such as the blood–brain barrier (BBB), which is only permeable to lipophilic molecules of molecular weight
