Pharmaceutical Aspects of Oligonucleotides

Edited By Patrick Couvreur, Claude Malvy Copyright 2000

    Oligonucleotides diffuse poorly through biological barriers, including cell membranes. They are also rapidly degraded in vivo by nucleuses. Aiming to improve the administration of compounds, the book studies the development of nucleotide chemistry.
