  • Publication number: 20160138025
    Abstract: The present invention relates to oligomeric compounds and conjugates thereof that target Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin type 9 (PCSK9) PCSK9 mRNA in a cell, leading to reduced expression of PCSK9. Reduction of PCSK9 expression is beneficial for a range of medical disorders, such as hypercholesterolemia and related disorders.

  • Patent number: 9290758
    Abstract: The present invention relates to oligomer compounds (oligomers), which target APO-B100 mRNA in a cell, leading to reduced expression of APO-B100. Reduction of APO-B100 expression is beneficial for the treatment of certain medical disorders, such as diseases associated with apolipoproteinB activity, such as in non-limiting example, different types of HDL/LDL cholesterol imbalance; dyslipidemias, e.g., familial combined dyslipidemia (FCHL), acquired hyperlipidemia, hypercholesterolemia, statin-resistant hypercholesterolemia; coronary artery disease (CAD), coronary heart disease (CHD), atherosclerosis.

  • Patent number: 8580756
    Abstract: The invention provides LNA gapmer oligomers of between 10-20 nucleobases in length, which have a total of 1-3 phosphodiester internucleoside linkages. Such oligomers have been found to have superior bioavailability and have also been found to selectively accumulate in kidney cells.

  • Publication number: 20110054011
    Abstract: Oligonucleotides directed against the FABP4 gene are developed for modulating the expression of FABP4 protein. The compositions comprise oligonucleotides, particularly antisense oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acids encoding FABP4. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of FABP4 expression and for the treatment of diseases associated with over expression of FABP4 are provided. Examples of such diseases are the metabolic syndrome, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and inflammatory states such as arthritis. The oligomer may be composed of deoxyribonucleosides or a nucleic acid analogue such as for example locked nucleic acid (LNA) or a combination thereof.

  • Publication number: 20100216864
    Abstract: The present invention provides compounds, compositions and methods for modulating the expression of PCSK9. In particular, this invention relates to oligomeric compounds, such as oligonucleotide compounds, which are hybridisable with target nucleic acids encoding PCSK9, and methods for the preparation of such oligomeric compounds. The oligonucleotide compounds have been shown to modulate the expression of PCSK9, and pharmaceutical preparations thereof and their use as treatment of hypercholesterolemia and related disorders are disclosed.
