A series of conjugates containing residues of lipophilic alcohols covalently bound to 5' end of oligodeoxyribonucleotides targeted against human plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) mRNA was synthesized via the oxathiaphospholane approach. The highest anti-PAI-1 activity in EA.hy 926 endothelial cell cultures was found for conjugates containing menthyl or heptadecanyl groups linked with an oligonucleotide complementary to a segment of human PAI-1 mRNA. The phosphodiester antisense oligonucleotides, which otherwise exhibit only limited anti-PAI-1 activity, were found to be more active than phosphorothioate oligonucleotides when conjugated to lipophilic alcohol residues. For menthyl conjugates an evidence of antisense mechanism of inhibition was found.
