  • Publication number: 20260167963
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of nucleic acids, in particular, to compounds, compositions and methods for reducing MAPT (Tau) expression. The nucleic acids of the present disclosure can effectively reduce MAPT (Tau) levels, and they can inhibit MAPT gene expression in cells and animals through the RNA interference mechanism. Meanwhile, compared with other technologies such as antibody therapy, antisense technology and small molecules, RNAi agents can also achieve a lower administration frequency.

  • Publication number: 20150044196
    Abstract: The inventors have examined the means for providing more efficacious miRNA blocking compounds. The inventors have discovered new structural features that surprisingly improve the efficacy of miRNA blocking molecules. These features include the presence of multiple 3? ends and a linker at the 5? ends. Surprisingly, these features improve the efficacy of the gene expression blocking compounds in a manner that decreases the compound's biologic instability. Even more surprisingly, this effect has been found to be applicable to both DNA and RNA oligonucleotide-based compounds and to have application in traditional antisense and RNAi technology.
