Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A class of antisense agents having a distributed guanidinium peptide nucleic acids (GPNA) backbone which has excellent uptake into mammalian cells, can bind to the target DNA or RNA in a highly sequence specific manner and can resist nucleases and proteases both outside and inside the cell(s) of interest. In one embodiment, either systemic or intratumoral administration of antisense Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (“EGFR”) GPNA oligonucleotides is believed to downmodulate EGFR levels, thus in turn to reduce head and neck squamous cell carcinoma tumor growth, which has been confirmed to date both in vitro and in vivo.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for the treatment of malignancy comprising administering systemically or intratumorally an antisense oligonucleotide comprising at least one peptide nucleic acid “PNA”, the peptide nucleic acid comprising a guanidinium peptide (GPNA), to a patient in need of such treatment, further wherein said oligonucleotide consists of a GPNA based on EGFR mRNA wherein said GPNA has both unmodified PNA and four or more arginine-derived GPNA substitutions. 2. A peptide nucleic acid “PNA” selected from the group consisting of 5′-A R GC R AG R CT R CCCA R TT R GG R G-3′ (SEQ ID NO:1) or 5′-AG R CA R GC R TC R CC R AT R TG R GG-3′ (SEQ ID NO:7), where the subscript R denotes an arginine-derived guanidinium peptide nucleic acid substitution.
