Intracellular Delivery of Antisense Oligonucleotides by Tri‐Branched Cyclic Disulfide Units

Abstract: Therapeutic oligonucleotides, such as antisense DNA, show promise in treating previously untreatable diseases. However, their applications are still hindered by the poor membrane permeability of naked oligonucleotides. Therefore, it is necessary to develop efficient methods for intracellular oligonucleotide delivery. Previously, our group successfully developed disulfide‐based Membrane Permeable Oligonucleotides (MPON), which achieved enhanced cellular uptake and gene silencing effects through an endocytosis‐free uptake mechanism. Herein, we report a new molecular design for the next generation of MPON, called trimer MPON. The trimer MPON consists of a tri‐branched backbone, three α‐lipoic acid units, and a spacer linker between the oligonucleotides and tri‐branched cyclic disulfide unit. We describe the design, synthesis, and functional evaluation of the trimer MPON, offering new insights into the molecular design for efficient oligonucleotide delivery.
