  • Publication number: 20230338555
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are compounds that comprise an oligonucleotide, a conjugate linker, and a conjugate moiety capable of interacting with a cell surface moiety, wherein the oligonucleotide and the conjugate moiety are connected via the conjugate linker. The conjugate moiety may comprise a cell-targeting moiety and a peptide extender. In general, peptide extenders have sufficient length and/or structure to reduce or prevent interaction between the oligonucleotide and the cell-targeting moiety. Such compounds are useful to treat, prevent or ameliorate a condition or disease in an individual with limited off-target effects.
