title: The behavior and effect of isopoly (S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine) derivatives of nucleic acid bases.
abstract: Isopoly(S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine) derivatives of nucleic acid bases were prepared as antisense compounds. These compounds in vitro have been found to form stable complex with oligo-DNA or RNA. This paper deals with effect of antisense compounds in vivo. The target in this paper is the sequence of the PSD-95 protein linked with NMDA receptor. Excess passing of calcium ions through the loss of the signal pathway without PSD-95 proteins caused by antisense compound. The cells detailing with L-cysteine derivatives showed the lowest percentage of 19.1%. The data were compared with that of phosphotioate antisense compound.
