  • Patent number: 9790502
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a RNA interference (RNAi) agent and the use of that RNAi agent to treat hepatitis B infection in individuals, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing the RNAi agents of the invention. The RNAi agents, or constructs for expressing them are utilized to inhibit expression of at least one Hepatitis B virus (HBV) gene, where the agent comprises an effector sequence complementary to or substantially complementary to a predicted sequence transcribed from a target region. In some forms of the invention, the agent has more than one effector sequence. Multiple effectors may target the same region of an HBV gene, different (possibly overlapping) regions of the same gene and/or different HBV genes.

  • Patent number: 9284560
    Abstract: This invention relates to the application of the highly conserved sequences of viral genome, especially from a highly conserved domain of enteroviral genome as templates to design target small ligand RNAs (sliRNAs). The resulting sliRNAs are therapeutically active ingredients in the treatment of the related diseases caused by pathological angiogenesis.
