Abstract:
What is described is a lipid particle comprising the compound of formula I wherein R1 consists of alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or cholesteryl; R2 consists of alkyl or alkenyl; L1 consists of alkyl, alkylene or alkenyl; X1 consists of —O—(CO)— or —(CO)—O—; X2 consists of S or O; L2 consists of a bond or alkylene; R3 consists of alkylene; and R4 and R5 are the same or different, each consisting of alkyl; or a pharmaceutical preparation thereof.
Abstract:
This invention provides a range of translatable messenger UNA (mUNA) molecules. The mUNA molecules can be translated in vitro and in vivo to provide an active polypeptide or protein, or to provide an immunization agent or vaccine component. The mUNA molecules can be used as an active agent to express an active polypeptide or protein in cells or subjects. Among other things, the mUNA molecules are useful in methods for treating rare diseases.
Abstract:
This invention provides UNA oligomers for therapeutics that can be used to modulate or reduce gene expression. The UNA oligomers can be composed of one or more 2′-3′-seco-nucleomonomers and one or more natural or non-natural nucleotide monomers, and can be a duplex having first and second strands. Embodiments include UNA oligomers with phosphorothioate or boranophosphate intermonomer linkages. The UNA oligomers can provide reduced off target effects while modulating gene expression.
