The synthesis and incorporation into oligodeoxynucleotides of two novel derivatives of bicyclothymidine carrying a cationic diaminopropyl or lysine unit in the C(6′)-β position is described. Compared to unmodified DNA these oligonucleotides show Tm-neutral behavior when paired against complementary DNA and are destabilizing when paired against RNA. Unaided uptake experiments of a decamer containing five lys-bcT units into HeLa and HEK293T cells showed substantial internalization with mostly cytosolic distribution which was not observed in the case of an unmodified control oligonucleotide.
