Abstract: One aspect of the present invention relates to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) agent capable of inhibiting the expression of a target gene. The sense strand of the dsRNA agent comprises at least one thermally destabilizing nucleotide, and at least one said thermally destabilizing nucleotide occurring at a site opposite to the seed region (positions 2-8) of the antisense strand; and the antisense strand of the dsRNA agent comprises at least two modified nucleotides that provide the nucleotide a steric bulk that is less than or equal to the steric bulk of a 2?-OMe modification, wherein said modified nucleotides are separated by 11 nucleotides in length. Other aspects of the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these dsRNA agents suitable for therapeutic use, and methods of inhibiting the expression of a target gene by administering these dsRNA agents, e.g., for the treatment of various disease conditions.

Abstract: Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors have been shown to reduce aqueous humor production and thereby reduce intraocular pressure in the eye. Accordingly, there is a need for agents that can selectively and efficiently inhibit expression of the CA2 gene such that subjects having a CA2-associated disorder, such as glaucoma, can be effectively treated. The disclosure relates to double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) compositions targeting carbonic anhydrase 2 (CA2), and methods of using such dsRNA compositions to alter (e.g., inhibit) expression of carbonic anhydrase 2.
