摘要:
Compositions and methods are provided for the treatment and diagnosis of diseases amenable to modulation of the production of selected proteins. In accordance with preferred embodiments, oligonucleotides and oligonucleotide analogs are provided which are specifically hybridizable with a selected sequence of RNA or DNA wherein at least two of the 2'-deoxyfuranosyl moieties of the nucleoside unit is modified. Treatment of HIV, herpes virus, papillomavirus and other infections is provided.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions and methods which enhance the delivery of oligonucleotides and other nucleosidic moieties via topical routes of administration. Preferred compositions include liposomes or penetration enhancers for the delivery of such moieties to dermal and/or epidermal tissue in an animal for investigative, therapeutic or prophylactic purposes.
摘要:
The present invention provides nucleoside compounds and certain derivatives thereof which are inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral polymerase. These compounds are inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral replication and are useful for the treatment of RNA-dependent RNA viral infection. They are particularly useful as inhibitors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase, as inhibitors of HCV replication, and/or for the treatment of hepatitis C infection. The invention also describes pharmaceutical compositions containing such nucleoside compounds alone or in combination with other agents active against RNA-dependent RNA viral infection, in particular HCV infection. Also disclosed are methods of inhibiting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, inhibiting RNA-dependent RNA viral replication, and/or treating RNA-dependent RNA viral infection with the nucleoside compounds of the present invention.
摘要:
Mixtures of chemical compounds are provided having antibacterial and other utility. The mixtures are formed, preferably in solution phase, from the reaction of a purine or pyrimiding heterocyclic scaffold with a set of related chemical substituients, optionally through employment of a tether moiety. Libraries formed in accordance with the invention have utility per se and are articles of commerce. They can be used to screen for pesticides, drugs and other biologically active compounds.
摘要:
Novel compounds that mimic and/or modulate the activity of wild-type nucleic acids. In general, the compounds are phosphorothioate oligonucleotides wherein the 5′-terminal internucleoside linkage or the 5′- and 3′-terminal linkages are modified.
摘要:
New sub-monomer synthetic methods for the preparation of peptide nucleic acid oligomeric structures are disclosed that provide for the synthesis of both predefined sequence peptide nucleic acid oligomers as well as random sequence peptide nucleic acid oligomers. Further these methods also provide for the incorporation of peptide nucleic acid units or strings of such units with amino acids or strings of amino acids in chimeric peptide nucleic acid-amino acid compounds. Further disclosed are method of making random libraries of peptide nucleic acids using the fully preformed monomers. Chimeric oligomers and libraries of the same are also disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions and methods which enhance the local and systemic uptake and delivery of oligonucleotides and nucleic acids via non-parenteral routes of administration. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising oligonucleotides disclosed herein include, for systemic delivery, emulsion and microemulsion formulations for a variety of applications and oral dosage formulations. It has also surprisingly been discovered that oligonucleotides may be locally delivered to colonic sites by rectal enemas and suppositories in simple solutions, e.g., neat or in saline. Such pharmaceutical compositions of oligonucleotides may further include one or more penetration enhancers for the transport of oligonucleotides and other nucleic acids across mucosal membranes. The compositions and methods of the invention are utilized to effect the oral, buccal, rectal or vaginal administration of an antisense oligonucleotide to an animal in order to modulate the expression of a gene in the animal for investigative, therapeutic, palliative or prophylactic purposes.
摘要:
Compositions comprising novel di-nitrogen heterocycle compounds containing at least one N-meta-substituted alkaryl group are prepared. The compounds of the present invention are useful as antibacterial and as other pharmaceutical agents and as intermediates for preparation of other pharmaceutical agents. In addition, compounds of the present invention are useful as research reagents.
摘要:
Modified dimers having a ribose sugar moiety in the 5′ nucleoside and a 2′ modified sugar in the 3′ nucleoside are provided. The modified dimers are useful in the preparation of oligonucleotide analogs having enhanced properties compared to native oligonucleotides, including increased nuclease resistance, enhanced binding affinity and improved protein binding.
摘要:
Tetrahydrofuranyl compounds are provided that are functionalized to include pendant conjugate groups, and which are useful in diagnosis assays and as research reagents. Novel intermediates for the synthesis of the compounds are also provided.
