Carbohydrate oligonucleotide conjugates 


Carbohydrate-oligonucleotide conjugates have become increasingly important in recent years, particularly with regard to an increased uptake and cell availability of siRNA and antisense oligonucleotides. Of particular interest here is N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc), which can bind to the asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) in hepatocytes.

The following picture shows some examples of the attachment of carbohydrates (sugars) to oligonucleotides via different linker structures:

  • N-Acetyl-Galactosamin (GalNAc)
  • ß-Cyclodextrin
  • Glucopyranose
