  • Patent number: 7723316
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for treatment of diseases involving unwanted neovascularization (NV). The invention provides treatments that control NV through selective inhibition of pro-angiogenic biochemical pathways, including inhibition of the VEGF pathway gene expression and inhibition localized at pathological NV tissues. Tissue targeted nanoparticle compositions comprising polymer conjugates and nucleic acid molecules that induce RNA interference (RNAi) are provided. The nanoparticle compositions of the invention can be used alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents such as VEGF pathway antagonists. The compositions and methods can be used for the treatment of NV diseases such as cancer, ocular disease, arthritis, and inflammatory diseases.

  • Publication number: 20080279920
    Abstract: The invention provides siRNA compositions that interfere with viral replication in respiratory viral infections, including respiratory syncytial virus and avian influenza A, including the H5N1 strain. The invention further provides uses of the siRNA compositions to inhibit expression of viral genes in respiratory virus-infected cells, and to uses in the treatment of respiratory virus infections in a subject. Generally the invention provides polynucleotide that includes a first nucleotide sequence of 15 to 30 bases that targets the genome of a respiratory syncytial virus or an influenza A virus, a complement thereof, a double stranded polynucleotide or a hairpin polynucleotide. Additionally the invention provides vectors, cells and pharmaceutical compositions containing siRNA sequences.
