Abstract: Defined multi-conjugate oligonucleotides can have predetermined sizes and compositions. For example, in various embodiment, defined multi-conjugate oligonucleotides can have advantageous properties, for example in the form of defined multi-conjugate siRNA (i.e., including two, three or more siRNA) having enhanced intracellular delivery and/or multi-gene silencing effects. In various embodiment, the defined multi-conjugate oligonucleotides can be synthesized via new synthetic intermediates and methods. The defined multi-conjugate oligonucleotides can be used, for example, in reducing gene expression, biological research, treating or preventing medical conditions, or to produce new or altered phenotypes in cells or organisms.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to multimeric oligonucleotides having monomeric subunits joined by linkers and methods of administering multimeric oligonucleotides to a subject. The multimeric oligonucleotides have a molecular weight and/or size configured to increase in vivo activity of one or more subunits within the multimeric oligonucleotide relative to in vivo activity of the same subunit when administered in monomeric form. The present disclosure also relates to such multimeric oligonucleotides and methods of synthesizing such multimeric oligonucleotides.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of administering to a subject multimeric oligonucleotides having monomeric subunits joined by linkers. The multimeric oligonucleotides have a molecular weight of at least about 45 kD and other characteristics, such that their clearance due to glomerular filtration is reduced. The present invention also relates to such multimeric oligonucleotides and methods of synthesizing such multimeric oligonucleotides.

Abstract: The present invention relates to agents, compositions and methods for inhibiting the expression of a target gene, comprising an RNAi agent bearing at least one galactosyl moiety. These are useful for delivering the gene expression inhibiting activity to cells, particularly hepatocytes, and more particularly in therapeutic applications.

Abstract: The present invention is directed compositions for targeted delivery of RNA interference (RNAi) polynucleotides to hepatocytes in vivo. Targeted RNAi polynucleotides are administered together with co-targeted delivery polymers. Delivery polymers provide membrane penetration function for movement of the RNAi polynucleotides from outside the cell to inside the cell. Reversible modification provides physiological responsiveness to the delivery polymers.
