BOC Sciences focuses on powering drug delivery through bioconjugation. Relying on our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and comprehensive experience in conjugation technologies, BOC Sciences provides conjugation services to combine oligonucleotides with glycomimetics. We have the capability and confidence to meet your needs for novel conjugates.
Glycomimetics are synthetic molecules that mimic the structure and function of carbohydrates. The combination of glycomimetics with oligonucleotides allows the combination of their respective properties, thus enabling the development of hybrid molecules with both the targeting ability of glycomimetics and the gene regulation or gene silencing properties of oligonucleotides.

Achieving glycomimetic-oligonucleotide binding involves a series of chemical reactions and strategies to covalently link the glycomimetic molecule to the oligonucleotide. The specific methods used to prepare sugar mimics and oligonucleotides can vary depending on the desired application and the chemistry of the molecules involved. There are a number of binding strategies that can be employed, including reactive ester or acid-base reactions, click chemistry, peptide coupling, and solid-phase synthesis to obtain the desired sugar mimetic-oligonucleotide conjugates.
Glycomimetic-oligonucleotide conjugation has a wide range of applications in biotechnology and medicine, such as targeted gene modulation, drug delivery systems, vaccine development, immunotherapy, diagnostic tools, biomaterials and tissue engineering scaffolds. The development and optimization of specific coupling strategies and applications are currently a hot research area.
