Abstract: The present disclosure provides novel piperidine- and guanosine-derived ligands that bind specifically to asialoglycoprotein receptor (ASGPR) and nucleotide analogs conjugated thereto that can be incorporated into oligonucleotides, including double-stranded oligonucleotides such as siRNAs.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel nucleotide precursors and nucleotide analogs that can be incorporated into oligonucleotides, including double-stranded oligonucleotides such as siRNAs. Oligonucleotides containing these analogs have superior biological activity, for example, increased in vitro stability and improved in vivo potency especially duration of action. The improved oligonucleotides are useful for silencing (e.g., reducing or eradicating) the expression of a target gene. In particular embodiments, this invention encompasses specific nucleotide analogs to be included in double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs), and especially in siRNAs, that can hybridize to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of interest, so as to reduce or block the expression of target genes of interest. The present compounds have general formula (I), wherein each of Ra, Rb, Rc and Rd is independently, H or a (C1-C6) alkyl group and B is a heterocyclic nucleobase.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to dsRNAs targeting ANGPTL3, methods of inhibiting ANGPTL3 gene expression, and methods of treating one or more conditions associated with ANGPTL3 gene expression.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to double-stranded oligonucleotides, including double-stranded oligonucleotides such as siRNAs, comprising a sense strand oligonucleotide and an antisense strand oligonucleotide, and wherein the antisense strand oligonucleotide comprises one or more nucleotide analogs of formula (I-A) which are neither the 5?-overhang nucleotide nor the 3?-overhang nucleotide of the said antisense strand oligonucleotide, and wherein a nucleotide analog of formula (I-A) is as described in the disclosure. Oligonucleotides containing these analogs have superior biological activity, for example, increased in vitro stability and improved in vivo potency especially improved off-target profiles. The improved oligonucleotides are useful for silencing (e.g., reducing or eradicating) the expression of a target gene.
