NUCLEOSIDE DERIVATIVE, MODIFIED OLIGONUCLEOTIDE, METHOD FOR THEIR SYNTHESIS AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF

摘要

New class of metallated nucleoside and nucleotide conjugates containing metallacarborane cage is provided, also oligonucleotides containing metallacarborane modification are disclosed. Nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides containing metallacarborane cage can be used among others as modified primers in amplification of RNA and DNA, antisense drugs, boron carriers for BNCT, radiopharmaceuticals bearing a range of isotopes useful in different types of radiotherapy, molecular probes, elements of biosensors, materials for nanotechnology and others.
