Abstract:
This invention encompasses compounds and compositions useful in methods for medical therapy, in general, for inhibiting Hepatitis B virus in a subject. The compounds have a first strand and a second strand, each of the strands being 19-29 monomers in length, the monomers comprising UNA monomers and nucleic acid monomers, and the compounds are targeted to a sequence of an HBV genome.
Abstract:
This invention provides UNA oligomers for therapeutics that can be used to target micro-RNAs. 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 single stranded oligomer. Embodiments include UNA oligomers with phosphorothioate or boranophosphate intermonomer linkages. The UNA oligomers can be used to target micro-RNAs to reduce micro-RNA activity.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to oligomers composed of 2′-3′-seco-nucleomonomers and nucleotides or modified nucleotides, wherein the oligomer can be a microRNA and include from one to five 2′-3′-seco-nucleomonomers. The oligomers can have a sequence that is complementary to a target nucleotide sequence and be used for affecting the regulation of gene expression. Among other things, the oligomers can provide reduced off target effects.
