Synthesis and cellular uptake of a fluorescently labeled cyclic PNA-based compound

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Sep 6;14(17):4435-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2004.06.055.

Abstract

A cyclic hexameric PNA-based compound labeled with fluorescein has been prepared following the liquid phase FPB strategy. Its cellular uptake, without and with electroporation, has been investigated by fluorescence microscopy.
