  • Publication number: 20170130224
    Abstract: The present invention provides gapped oligomeric compounds. More particularly the gapped oligomeric compounds provided herein comprise at least one modified internucleoside linkage in the gap region. Such gapped oligomeric compounds have one or more improved properties such as selectivity, potency, improved toxicity profile and or improved proinflammatory profile. Certain such oligomeric compounds are useful for hybridizing to a complementary nucleic acid, including but not limited, to nucleic acids in a cell. In certain embodiments, hybridization results in modulation of the amount activity or expression of the target nucleic acid in a cell.

  • Publication number: 20170044539
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides oligomeric compounds comprising at least one ?-?-constrained nucleic acid as provided herein. More particularly, the ?-?-constrained nucleic acid provided herein comprise an optionally modified nucleoside with a phosphorus containing constrained internucleoside linkage such as for example a cyclic phosphate internucleoside linkage. The ?-?-constrained nucleic acid provided herein are expected to be useful for enhancing one or more properties of oligomeric compounds they are incorporated into such as for example nuclease resistance. In certain embodiments, the oligomeric compounds provided herein hybridize to a portion of a target RNA resulting in loss of normal function of the target RNA.

  • Publication number: 20170044526
    Abstract: The present invention provides oligomeric compounds comprising at least one neutral methoxypropyl phosphonate modified internucleoside linkage. Such oligomeric compounds have one or more improved properties such as selectivity, potency, improved toxicity profile and or improved proinflammatory profile. Such oligomeric compounds have enhanced stability to exposure to base during synthesis. Certain such oligomeric compounds are useful for hybridizing to a complementary nucleic acid, including but not limited, to nucleic acids in a cell. In certain embodiments, hybridization results in modulation of the amount activity or expression of the target nucleic acid in a cell.

  • Publication number: 20150376625
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides oligomeric compounds. Certain such oligomeric compounds are useful for hybridizing to a complementary nucleic acid, including but not limited, to nucleic acids in a cell. In certain embodiments, hybridization results in modulation of the amount activity or expression of the target nucleic acid in a cell. In certain embodiments, certain oligomeric compounds selectively reduce the expression of a target nucleic acid transcript relative to a non-target nucleic acid transcript.
