Psoralen conjugated methylphosphonate oligonucleotides as therapeutic agents for chronic myelogenous leukemia

摘要

Novel reagents which are useful for conjugating a psoralen moiety to an oligomer having at least one non-nucleotide monomeric unit are provided. Also provided are psoralen-conjugated oligomers. Psoralen-conjugated oligomers complementary to the abl gene or bcr/abl of chimeric mRNA are useful in decreasing expression of abl-associated tyrosine kinase and P210 protein.
