Synthetic ion channels and pores represent models of natural transmembrane ion channels, and also have potential applications in the areas of drug delivery, biosensors and antimicrobial agents. In this presentation, synthetic derivatives of lipophilic nucleosides that combine both �molecular recognition� and �membrane soluble� features are utilized for the development of synthetic ion channels and transmembrane transporters. Recent progress in the area of using lipophilic nucleosides as transmembrane transporters of nucleosides and nucleotides will also be discussed.
