Overview

Anti-MGMT morpholino oligonucleotides (AMONs) are a class of antisense oligonucleotide research compounds designed to silence the DNA repair enzyme O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT). MGMT is a primary mechanism of resistance to alkylating chemotherapies, such as temozolomide, in glioblastoma and other solid tumors. AMONs utilize a neutral phosphorodiamidate morpholino backbone, which provides high stability and target affinity compared to traditional ribose-based oligonucleotides. By binding to MGMT mRNA, they block translation, reducing MGMT protein levels and sensitizing tumor cells to chemotherapy. Research at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) has also explored using sub-lethal ionizing radiation to enhance the intracellular uptake of these oligonucleotides in tumor cells.
