Chemical Modifications of Nucleic Acid Aptamers for Therapeutic Purposes
Nucleic acid aptamers have minimal immunogenicity, high chemical synthesis production, low cost and high chemical stability when compared with antibodies. However, the susceptibility to nuclease degradation, rapid excretion through renal filtration and insufficient binding affinity hindered their development as drug candidates for therapeutic applications. In this review, we will discuss method...
متن کاملNucleic acid aptamers against proteases.
Proteases are potential or realized therapeutic targets in a wide variety of pathological conditions. Moreover, proteases are classical subjects for studies of enzymatic and regulatory mechanisms. We here review the literature on nucleic acid aptamers selected with proteases as targets. Designing small molecule protease inhibitors of sufficient specificity has proved a daunting task. Aptamers s...
متن کاملMolecular imaging with nucleic acid aptamers.
With many desirable properties such as ease of synthesis, small size, lack of immunogenicity, and versatile chemistry, aptamers represent a class of targeting ligands that possess tremendous potential in molecular imaging applications. Non-invasive imaging of various disease markers with aptamer-based probes has many potential clinical applications such as lesion detection, patient stratificati...
متن کاملNucleic acid aptamers in human viral disease.
Nucleic acid aptamers are short, single-stranded oligonucleotides or their modified analogues which avidly and specifically interact with targeted ligands through their 3-dimensional structure. Aptamers can be selected out of a large combinatorial oligonucleotide library through an in vitro evolution process termed SELEX. Since 1990, a wide variety of aptamers targeted to ligands ranging from s...
متن کاملApplication of polymers in nucleic acid delivery
Gene therapy and immunotherapy are powerful techniques in the treatment of many life threatening diseases. The major challenge in these therapies is to seek a safe and efficient delivery carrier for gene and antigen materials. Carriers are designed to protect these molecules from degradation, improve their stability and facilitate the delivery of them to the site of action. This research study ...
