Abstract: An oligo-guanidine as cell penetrating agents/carriers includes a heterocyclic ring including 4-aminopiperidine, piperazine, morpholine having at least one N-terminal based heterocyclic ring or at least one O-heteroatom based heterocyclic ring tailored with hydrophobic and/or lipophilic group. The oligo-guanidine is adapted as an effective molecular transporter to transport and/or delivery therapeutics, therapeutic candidates, probes, or other molecules of interest across biological barriers including oligonucleotides. Advantageously, the oligo-guanidine is capable of being internalized into cells (in-vitro and in-vivo) with enhanced cellular uptake in nanomolar concentration.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are Click Nucleic Acid Polymers (CNA-polymers) that comprise repeating dimer, trimer and tetramer units. The disclosed polymers can be used for antisense applications, for example, in treatment of “trinucleotide repeat disorders, i.e., Huntington's Disease and the like.

Abstract: Click thiol-X monomers and polymers containing such monomers are disclosed. The clickable sequence controllable monomers include an optionally protected thiol moiety; an optionally protected Michael acceptor moiety; a primary functional side chain and one ore more secondary functional side chains. A clickable sequence controllable monomer, can have the structure: wherein independently Y and Z are atoms having a valence electrons of 3 or more; n is a integer from 0-10; m is a integer from 0-10; x is a integer from 0-10; PFS is a functional group SFSi; SFS2; and SFS3 are independently a combination of hydrogen, hydroxyl, aromatic, amine, carboxyl, and carbonyls, optionally substituted to form hydrophilic, hydrophobic, amphiphilic, or charged (positive or negative or both) side chains; T is an optionally protected thiol; and TCA is an optionally protected thiol-click acceptor. Methods of using such polymers are also disclosed.
