摘要

Preventing intramolecular cyclization greatly improves 5`-deoxy-5`-thioguanosine monophosphorothioate (GSMP) synthesis and its application as a potent initiator nucleotide for T7 run-off transcription of noncoding RNAs. GSMP was efficiently incorporated into the 5`-end of siRNA sense strands and the resulting thiol-modified siRNA was crosslinked with a free cysteine of cell penetrating peptide Penetratin as monitored by mass spectrometry. Cellular uptake and the knockdown potential of the peptide-coupled siRNA (pepsiRNA) were evaluated in primary cells.
