Oligonucleotides act on the RNA level through different molecular pathways, but there is a major drawback when using them as drugs: their poor bioavailability and cellular uptake. These peptides typically contain up to 30 amino acids and can be cationic, amphipathic or both. These considerations limit their application as therapeutics.
