The present invention is in the field of pharmaceutical compounds and preparations and method of their use in the treatment of disease. Described are short interfering nucleic acid (siNA) molecules comprising modified nucleotides, compositions containing the same, and uses thereof for treating or preventing coronavirus infections. In particular, the present invention is in the field of siNA molecules effective against a broad spectrum of coronaviruses, and especially the β-coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19.

The present disclosure relates to double-stranded oligonucleotides, including double-stranded oligonucleotides such as siRNAs, comprising a sense strand oligonucleotide and an antisense strand oligonucleotide, and wherein the antisense strand oligonucleotide comprises one or more nucleotide analogs of formula (I-A) which are neither the 5′-overhang nucleotide nor the 3′-overhang nucleotide of the said antisense strand oligonucleotide, and wherein a nucleotide analog of formula (I-A) is as described in the disclosure. Oligonucleotides containing these analogs have superior biological activity, for example, increased in vitro stability and improved in vivo potency especially improved off-target profiles. The improved oligonucleotides are useful for silencing (e.g., reducing or eradicating) the expression of a target gene.

Disclosed herein are inhibitors of PPM 1 A, including PPM1A antisense oligonucleotide sequences, and methods for treating neurological diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia, associated with decreased activity or expression of TBK1. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions containing a PPM1A inhibitor, including a PPM1A antisense oligonucleotide, useful for treating neurological diseases and manufacture of medicaments containing a disclosed PPM1A inhibitor, for example, a PPM1A antisense oligonucleotide, to be used in treating a neurological disease

This disclosure relates to modified guide RNAs having improved in vitro and in vivo activity in gene editing methods.

The present disclosure relates to compositions, such as siRNA molecules and FN3 domains conjugated to the same, as well as methods of making and using the molecules.

The present invention relates to an oligomer conjugate for use in the treatment of a viral disorder. The oligomer conjugate comprises: a) an oligomer capable of modulating a target sequence in HBx and/or HBsAg of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) to treat said viral disorder; and b) a carrier component capable of delivering the oligomer to the liver which is linked, preferably conjugated, to the oligomer.

Disclosed herein are antisense compounds and methods for decreasing Tau mRNA and protein expression. Such methods, compounds, and compositions are useful to treat, prevent, or ameliorate Tau-associated diseases, disorders, and conditions.

The disclosure is directed to inhibitory agents that hybridize to a GAPLINC RNA and inhibit or reduce the expression of the GAPLINC RNA. The GAPLINC RNA is a long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) located on chromosome 18 between the protein-coding genes Tgif and Dlgap1. The disclosure also features pharmaceutical compositions including the inhibitory agents and methods of using the inhibitory agents to treat an inflammatory disease, such as sepsis.

The present embodiments provide methods, compounds, and compositions for treating, preventing, or ameliorating a disease associated with dysregulation of the complement alternative pathway by administering a Complement Factor B (CFB) specific inhibitor to a subject.

The present invention relates to antisense LNA oligonucleotides (oligomers) complementary to ATXN3 pre-mRNA sequences, which are capable of inhibiting the expression of ATXN3 protein. Inhibition of ATXN3 expression is beneficial for the treatment of spinocerebellar ataxia
