Abstract

Abstract Oligodeoxyribonucleoside methylphosphonates (16-mers) targeted to VSV mRNAs were derivatized with 4′-{[N-(aminoethyl)amino]methyl}-4,5′8-trimethylpsoralen. These oligomers specifically inhibit translation of their targeted mRNAs in vitro following UV irradiation of the oligomer-mRNA complexes. Psoralen-derivatized oligonucleoside methylphosphonates are stable in cells and can inhibit VSV protein synthesis in culture following UV-irradiation of VSV-infected cells.
