Morpholino oligomers containing both uncharged and cationic intersubunit linkages are provided. The oligomers are oligonucleotide analogs containing predetermined sequences of base-pairing moieties. The presence of the cationic intersubunit linkages in the oligomers, typically at a level of about 10-50% of total linkages, provides enhanced antisense activity, in various antisense applications, relative to the corresponding uncharged oligomers. Also provided are such oligomers conjugated to peptide transporter moieties, where the transporters are preferably composed of arginine subunits, or arginine dimers, alternating with neutral amino acid subunits.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for enhancing transport of biologically active compounds across biological membranes and across and into animal epithelial or endothelial tissues. The composition includes a biologically active agent and a transport moiety. The transport moiety includes a structure selected from the group consisting of (ZYZ)nZ, (ZY)nZ, (ZYY)nZ and (ZYYY)nZ. Subunit “Z” is L-arginine or D-arginine, and subunit “Y” is an amino acid that does not comprise an amidino or guanidino moiety. Subscript “n” is an integer ranging from 2 to 10. The method for enhancing transport involves the administration of the aforementioned composition.

The present invention relates to eukaryotic host cells, especially lower eukaryotic host cells, having modified oligosaccharides which may be modified further by heterologous expression of a set of glycosyltransferases, sugar and sugar nucleotide transporters to become host-strains for the production of mammalian, e.g., human therapeutic glycoproteins. The process provides an engineered host cell which can be used to express and target any desirable gene(s) involved in glycosylation. Host cells with modified lipid-linked oligosaccharides are created or selected. N-glycans made in the engineered host cells exhibit GnTIII, GnTIV, GnTV, GnT VI or GnTIX activity, which produce bisected and / or multiantennary N-glycan structures and may be modified further by heterologous expression of one or more enzymes, e.g., glycosyltransferases, sugar, sugar nucleotide transporters, to yield human-like glycoproteins. For the production of therapeutic proteins, this method may be adapted to engineer cell lines in which any desired glycosylation structure may be obtained.

Methods of modifying therapeutic compounds such as drugs to be substrates for active transporters expressed in epithelial cells lining the lumen of the human colon are disclosed. The transporters expressed in the human colon include the sodium dependent multi-vitamin transporter (SMVT), and monocarboxylate transporters 1 and 4 (MCT 1 and MCT 4). The modified compounds can themselves be pharmacologically active, or upon cleavage of a chemical moiety after uptake from the colon, can be metabolized to form a compound that is pharmacologically active (e.g., a prodrug). The modified compounds disclosed herein are suitable for use in extended release oral dosage forms, particularly those that release drug over periods of greater than about 2-4 hours following administration.
