  • Short interfering RNA (siRNA) analogues
    Patent number: 9738894
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel double-stranded short interfering (siRNA) analogs comprising locked nucleic acid (LNA) monomers. Such compounds induces sequence-specific post-transcriptional gene silencing in many organisms by a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). The compounds disclosed herein has improved properties compared to non-modified siRNAs and may, accordingly, be useful as therapeutic agents, e.g., in the treatment of various cancer forms. More particularly, the present invention is directed to siRNA analogs comprising a sense strand and an antisense strand, wherein each strand comprises 12-35 nucleotides and wherein the siRNA analogs comprise at least one locked nucleic acid (LNA) monomer.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 22, 2017
    Assignee: Roche Innovation Center Copenhagen A/S
    Inventors: Joacim Elmen, Claes Wahlestedt, Zicai Liang, Anders M. Sorensen, Henrik Orum, Troels Koch
