    Notes: Abstract The Watson-Crick base pairing rule provides the underlying principle for the antisense (AS) approach to inhibiting gene expression. Transforming growth factor α (TGFα) was the first growth factor to be associated with tumorigenesis, thus making the TGFα (mRNA) a potential target for AS therapy and offering the potential for monitoring of the progression of malignancy by non-invasive imaging with radiolabelled AS phosphodiester. Probe labelling and biodistribution were studied in the present report. A 23-mer oligonucleotide sequence was synthesized and grafted in 5′ with a tyramine group which was further radioiodinated. The radiolabelled AS was injected intratumorally in mammary tumour-bearing BALB/c mice (3 weeks after inoculation of 7·106 NS2T2A mammary cells). Biodistribution was monitored by sequential scintigraphy and organ radioactivity after autopsy. The 5′ tyramine group allowed specific and stable radiolabelling of the AS with125I. The125I AS oligonucleotide was rapidly cleared from the tumour by intestine and kidneys. Four hours after intratumoral injection, 6.5%±1.5% of the dose was retained in the tumour as non-degraded125I AS. It is concluded that 5′ tyraminylated AS provides information on the biodistribution of AS oligonucleotide following intratumoral injection. These data will contribute to the pharmacology of AS oligonucleotides which can be used for therapy.

    Notes: Analytical formulas are given for the orbital contributions to two-electron properties such as 〈r12n〉, with n = -2, -1, 1, 2, 3, and 4, for atomic systems in which orbitals are expanded as linear combinations of Gaussian functions. Numerical values for all possible contributions in the atoms Li to Ne have been calculated at the Hartree-Fock level. These quantities are compared and discussed to show what kind of information can be obtained from such quantities. The influence of the basis set size has also been considered.
