Publication number: 20220403377Abstract: The invention relates to iRNA agents, which preferably include a monomer in which the ribose moiety has been replaced by a moiety other than ribose. The inclusion of such a monomer can allow for modulation of a property of the iRNA agent into which it is incorporated, e.g., by using the non-ribose moiety as a point to which a ligand or other entity, e.g., a lipophilic moiety. e.g., cholesterol, is is directly, or indirectly, tethered. The invention also relates to methods of making and using such modified iRNA agents.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Muthiah MANOHARAN, Venkitasamy KESAVAN, Kallanthottathil RAJEEV
