  • Patent number: 11918600
    Abstract: Provided is a siRNA for inhibiting HBV gene expression, including a sense strand and an antisense strand. The sense strand includes a nucleotide sequence 1, and the antisense strand includes a nucleotide sequence 2; the nucleotide sequence 1 and the nucleotide sequence 2 are at least partially reversely complementary to form a double-stranded region; the nucleotide sequence 1 and the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 are equal in length, and no more than 3 nucleotide differences are generated; the nucleotide sequence 2 and the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 are equal in length, and no more than 3 nucleotide differences are generated; nucleotides of the 7th, 8th, and 9th bits of the nucleotide sequence 1 and the 2nd, 6th, 14th, and 16th of the nucleotide sequence 2 are fluoro-modified nucleotides. Also provided are a pharmaceutical composition and a conjugate containing the siRNA.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11896674
    Abstract: An siRNA conjugate having a structure as represented by formula (1) for inhibiting hepatitis B vims gene expression, comprising siRNA and a conjugated group, wherein the sense strand of the siRNA comprises a nucleotide sequence 1, and the antisense strand comprises a nucleotide sequence 2; the nucleotide sequence 1 and the nucleotide sequence 2 are, at least in part, reversely complementary to form a double-stranded region; the nucleotide sequence 1 and SEQ ID NO: 1 are equal in length and differ by no more than three nucleotides; the nucleotide sequence 2 and SEQ ID NO: 2 are equal in length and differ by no more than three nucleotides. The siRNA conjugate can specifically target liver cells and effectively solve the problem of siRNA delivery in vivo, and shows excellent activity and low toxicity to inhibit HBV gene expression while maintaining high stability of siRNA.
