BOC Sciences focuses on advancing drug delivery development through bioconjugation. Relying on our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and comprehensive experience in conjugation technologies, BOC Sciences offers conjugation services to combine oligonucleotides with cell-penetrating peptides(CPPs). We have the capability and confidence to meet your needs for novel conjugates.
Cell-penetrating peptide (CPP), also known as protein transduction domain (PTD), is a short peptide that plays an important role in intercellular material transport. CPP is capable of entering cells and transporting various types of molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids and nanoparticles across cell membranes.

The main role of CPP in CPP-oligonucleotide conjugation is to enhance the cellular uptake and intracellular delivery of oligonucleotides, thus improving their bioavailability and efficacy, ultimately leading to enhanced therapeutic or imaging effects.

CPP-oligonucleotide conjugation involves linking cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) with oligonucleotides to enhance the cellular uptake and intracellular delivery of oligonucleotides. This conjugation improves the bioavailability of the oligonucleotides and optimizes their therapeutic or imaging efficacy.
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short peptides that can cross cell membranes efficiently. When conjugated with oligonucleotides, CPPs promote their entry into cells, enhancing their stability and effectiveness in intracellular environments, which is particularly useful for gene therapy and drug delivery.
CPPs are conjugated to oligonucleotides through covalent coupling, disulfide bond formation, or non-covalent complexation, depending on the application and desired outcome.
CPP-oligonucleotide conjugates are used in gene therapy, antimicrobial therapy, targeted delivery, and diagnostics by improving the efficiency and specificity of oligonucleotide delivery.
