OLIGONUCLEOTIDE DERIVATIVES DIRECTED AGAINST HUMAN BCL-XL AND HUMAN BCL-2 MRNA

摘要

The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotide derivatives directed against human bcl-xL mRNA and being capable of modulating the biosynthesis of human bcl-xL protein. Furthermore, the present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotide derivatives directed against both human bcl-xL nRNA and human bcl-2 mRNA, and being capable of modulating the biosynthesis of both human bcl-xl protein and human bcl-2 protein. The present invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising such oligonucleotide derivatives, uses thereof and methods of treatment and diagnosis utilizing such oligonucleotide derivatives.
