Abstract

Disclosed are β-peptides and β-peptide conjugates that are capable of diffusing or otherwise being transported across the cell membranes of living cells. The β-peptides contain at least six β-amino acid residues, at leastsix of which are preferably β-homoarginine residues. It has been found that when pharmacologically-active agents are conjugated to these types of β-peptides, the resulting conjugates (also disclosed herein) are also capable of diffusing or otherwise being transported across the cell membranes of living cells, including mammalian cells.
