Abstract:
Processes for synthesis of conformationally restricted nucleomonomers (CRN) by ozonolysis or oxidation of a 2′-vinyl substituted nucleoside precursor with protected 3′-hydroxyl, 4′-hydroxymethyl and 5′-hydroxyl positions. The CRN nucleomonomers can be used to prepare nucleic acid compounds. CRN nucleomonomers for nucleic acid compounds can be prepared in high yields and in multi-gram scale. The nucleic acid compounds can be of various regulatory classes such as antisense RNA for therapeutic modalities useful for treating or preventing diseases or disorders by up- or down-regulating the expression of genes and other nucleic acid based regulatory systems in a cell.

Abstract:
Multi-arm amine compounds and compositions for enhancing intracellular, in vitro, and in vivo delivery of drug, active, and therapeutic substances including ribonucleic acids. This disclosure provides novel compounds and compositions for making and using delivery materials and carriers which increase the efficiency of delivery of biologically active and pharmacologically active molecules. Embodiments of this disclosure may further provide delivery of various therapeutic agents including nucleic acid therapeutics such as regulatory RNA, interfering RNA, and agents for RNAi, as well as other protein and peptide therapeutics. In some aspects, this disclosure provides multi-arm amine compounds and compositions which can enhance permeation of a drug substance.
Abstract:
Lipopeptide compounds comprising a peptide having 2 to 100 amino acid residues, and having a lipophilic group attached to at least one terminus of the peptide or to at least one amino acid residue of the peptide, and salts and uses thereof. The lipophilic group may be attached to the N-terminus, C-terminus or both termini of the peptide. The lipophilic group may be attached to at least one interal amino acid residue (i.e., an amino acid residue that is not the N-terminus or the C-terminus amino acid residue of the peptide). The lipophilic group may be attached to either termini or both and at least one internal amino acid residue.
Abstract:
What is disclosed is the use of a formulation comprising double stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) in the manufacture of a medicament for treating an inflammatory disease in a mammal and inhibiting production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the mammal.
Abstract:
Combinatorial libraries of different-sequence peptide members is disclosed. The libraries are comprised of stabilized, alpha-helical polypeptides having a similar tertiary structure but different amino acid residues at specific, "variable" positions in the sequence. The polypeptides are stabilized through coiled-coil interactions with other .alpha.-helical polypeptides and/or via intrahelical lactam bridges. Also disclosed are methods for using such libraries to screen for selected macromolecular ligands.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides single-stranded and multi-stranded nucleic acid compounds having one or more double-stranded regions that regulate the function or expression of nucleic acid molecules expressed in a cell or a cell regulatory system dependent upon a nucleic acid. The disclosure provides a range of nucleic acid compounds having one or more conformationally restricted nucleomonomers (CRN). Certain nucleic acid compounds may have one or more conformationally restricted nucleomonomers and one or more hydroxymethyl substituted nucleomonomers (UNA). The nucleic acid compounds are useful in various therapeutic modalities.
Abstract:
Processes and compositions for liposomal delivery of therapeuticals prepared by contacting an aqueous solution of an active agent with a solution of liposome-forming components containing one or more DILA2 amino acid compounds or lipids in organic solvent to form an impinging stream. A protocol including flow rates, pH, and an incubation period are used to control formation of liposomal components for therapeutic applications. The impinging stream may be collected and incubated to prepare a liposomal formulation which encapsulates the active agent. The composition can be quenched with buffer and filtered by tangential flow and diafiltration and other means for finishing as a pharmaceutical composition.
