Antisense antivirals: future oligonucleotides-based therapeutics for viral infectious diseases
Despite the availability of antiviral chemotherapies, human pathogenic viral infections remain a global health problem, causing formidable morbidity and mortality worldwide. Of particular concern are those virus types developing (multi)drug-resistance, eg. herpesviruses, hepatitis C virus (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), that fail almost all the available antiviral drugs in clinic...
متن کاملNucleic Acid Therapeutics: Current Targets For Antisense Oligonucleotides And Ribozymes
Nucleic acids are becoming increasingly important as therapeutic molecules mainly for the ease with which specificity for a vast range of targets of these drugs is achieved. Yet the dose rates of several mg/kg are not easy to provide. Reform of drug policy has been suggested earlier to facilitate newer therapeutic strategies to be put to use. With the current technology, each mg of the unmodifi...
متن کاملAntisense oligonucleotides: from design to therapeutic application.
1. An antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) is a short strand of deoxyribonucleotide analogue that hybridizes with the complementary mRNA in a sequence-specific manner via Watson-Crick base pairing. Formation of the ASO-mRNA heteroduplex either triggers RNase H activity, leading to mRNA degradation, induces translational arrest by steric hindrance of ribosomal activity, interferes with mRNA maturatio...
متن کاملA highly effective and long-lasting inhibition of miRNAs with PNA-based antisense oligonucleotides.
MiRNAs are non-coding RNAs that play a role in the regulation of major processes. The inhibition of miRNAs using antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) is a unique and effective technique for the characterization and subsequent therapeutic targeting of miRNA function. Recent advances in ASO chemistry have been used to increase both the resistance to nucleases and the target affinity and specificity ...
متن کاملRNA therapeutics: RNAi and antisense mechanisms and clinical applications.
RNA therapeutics refers to the use of oligonucleotides to target primarily ribonucleic acids (RNA) for therapeutic efforts or in research studies to elucidate functions of genes. Oligonucleotides are distinct from other pharmacological modalities, such as small molecules and antibodies that target mainly proteins, due to their mechanisms of action and chemical properties. Nucleic acids come in ...
