  • Publication number: 20220273770
    Abstract: Glucose-responsive insulin conjugates that contain one or more trisaccharides are provided. Such insulin conjugates may display a pharmacokinetic (PK) and/or pharmacodynamic (PD) profile that is responsive to the systemic concentrations of a saccharide such as glucose or alpha-methylmannose, even when administered to a subject in need thereof in the absence of an exogenous multivalent saccharide-binding molecule.

  • Patent number: 10738308
    Abstract: The present invention relates to RNAi molecules, and compositions thereof, comprising a 2? internucleoside linkage connecting the nucleotide at position 1 and the nucleotide at position 2 at the 5? end of the antisense strand. Specifically, the invention relates to single- and double-stranded short interfering nucleic acid (siNA) molecules that are capable of mediating RNA interference comprising 5? modified nucleotides that comprise, among other potential modifications, a 2? internucleoside linkage. The invention further relates to 5? modified nucleotides used as reagents to generate the RNAi molecules of the invention and methods of using the disclosed RNAi molecules.

  • Publication number: 20180110863
    Abstract: Insulin conjugates comprising an insulin analog molecule covalently attached to at least one bi-dentate linker having two arms, each arm independently attached to a ligand comprising a saccharide and wherein the saccharide for at least one ligand of the linker is fucose are disclosed. The insulin conjugates display a pharmacokinetic (PK) and/or pharmacodynamic (PD) profile that is responsive to the systemic concentrations of a saccharide such as glucose or alpha-methylmannose even when administered to a subject in need thereof in the absence of an exogenous multivalent saccharide-binding molecule such as Con A.
