摘要:
The present invention relates to a cationic lipid having one or more biodegradable groups located in the mid- or distal section of a lipidic moiety (e.g., a hydrophobic chain) of the cationic lipid. These cationic lipids may be incorporated into a lipid particle for delivering an active agent, such as a nucleic acid. The invention also relates to lipid particles comprising a neutral lipid, a lipid capable of reducing aggregation, a cationic lipid of the present invention, and optionally, a sterol. The lipid particle may further include a therapeutic agent such as a nucleic acid.
摘要:
The invention features a method of identifying therapeutically relevant compositions which include a therapeutic agent and 2,2-Dilinoley 1-4-dimethylaminomethyl-[1,3]-dioxolane by screening for an effect of the agent on the liver of a model subject.
摘要:
This invention relates to new formulated lipid particles (FLiPs) comprising at least one of a single or double stranded oligonucleotide, where the oligonucleotide has been conjugated to a lipophile and at least one of an emulsion or liposome to which the conjugated oligonucleotide has been aggregated, admixed or associated. These particles have surprisingly been shown to effectively deliver oligonucleotides to heart, lung and muscle where they effect gene silencing.
摘要:
The invention relates to lipid formulated double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) targeting a hepcidin antimicrobial peptide (HAMP) and/or HAMP-related gene, and methods of using the dsRNA to inhibit expression of HAMP and/or HAMP-related genes.
摘要:
This invention relates to methods for increasing the efficiency of siRNA administrations via pre-administration of an agent that increases LDL receptor levels.
摘要:
The invention relates to a double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) for inhibiting the expression of the PCSK9 gene (PCSK9 gene), comprising an antisense strand having a nucleotide sequence which is less that 30 nucleotides in length, generally 19-25 nucleotides in length, and which is substantially complementary to at least a part of the PCSK9 gene. The invention also relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising the dsRNA together with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and method for treating diseases caused by PCSK9 gene expression.

摘要:
This invention relates to the use of lipoproteins with oligonucleotides, both single and double stranded, and their use in delivering dsRNA for RNA interference. More specifically, the present invention relates to composititons containing oligonucleotides and alipoprotein E, which enables tissue-specific delivery and reduction of target expression.
