  • Patent number: 11291731
    Abstract: Described herein are silicon based conjugates capable of delivering one or more payload moieties to a target cell or tissue. Contemplated conjugates may include a silicon-heteroatom core, one or more optional catalytic moieties, a targeting moiety that permits accumulation of the conjugate within a target cell or tissue, one or more payload moieties (e.g., a therapeutic agent or imaging agent), and two or more non-interfering moieties covalently bound to the silicon-heteroatom core.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20140050778
    Abstract: The present invention relates to oligomer compounds, including dimers and trimers, formed by a disulfide, sulfinyl thio, olefin or hydrocarbon bond, or a hydrazone exchange bond between two or more monomers. Methods of making the monomers and the oligomers is also disclosed. Use of the compounds for inhibiting the activity of target RNA molecules, particularly those having a secondary structure that include a stem or stem-loop formation. Dimer compounds capable of inhibiting the activity of an HIV-1 RNA frameshifting stem-loop and a (CUG)n expanded repeat stem-loop are disclosed, as are methods of treating diseases associated with these target RNA molecules.
