The present disclosure relates to compounds, compositions, and methods for delivery of therapeutic, diagnostic, or prophylactic agents (for example, a nucleic acid).

This document relates to functionalized (e.g., mono- or bi-functional) polymers (e.g., polyethylene glycol and related polymers) as well as methods and materials for making and using such functionalized polymers.

Compounds of the general Formula A-D-Y are disclosed with activity towards treating diseases related to inflammation, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiovascular diseases. Pharmaceutical compositions, methods of making, and methods of use thereof are also described.

Provided herein are lipid compounds that can be used in combination with other lipid components, such as neutral lipids, cholesterol and polymer conjugated lipids, to form lipid nanoparticles for delivery of therapeutic agents (e.g., nucleic acid molecules) for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes, including vaccination. Also provided herein are lipid nanoparticle compositions comprising said lipid compounds.

Disclosed are compounds comprising chemically modified gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB), 2-hydroxytetrahydrofuran, and/or 1,4-butanediol, and salts of such compounds (GHB delivering compounds and salts thereof). Also disclosed are compositions comprising at least one GHB delivering compound, or a salt thereof, methods of making such compounds, and methods of using such GHB delivering compounds and compositions.

Novel non-nucleoside solid supports and phosphoramidite building blocks for preparation of synthetic oligonucleotides containing at least one non-nucleosidic moiety conjugated to a ligand of practical interest and synthetic processes for making the same are disclosed. Furthermore, oligomeric compounds are prepared using said solid supports and phosphoramidite building blocks, preferably followed by removal of protecting groups to provide oligonucleotides conjugated to ligands of interest.

The invention provides capsaicinoid prodrug compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and their use in the treatment of medical conditions, such as pain, and in agonizing TRPV1 activity.

A versatile reagent with a non-nucleotide monomeric unit comprising an enantiomeric center and having a ligand, and first and second coupling groups that are linked to the non-nucleotide monomeric unit. Such a reagent permits preparation of versatile nucleotide/non-nucleotide polymers, having any desired sequence of nucleotide and non-nucleotide monomeric units, each of the latter of which bear a desired ligand. These polymers can, for example, be used as probes which can exhibit enhanced sensitivity and/or which are capable of detecting a genus of nucleotides each species of which has a common target nucleotide sequence of interest bridged by different sequences not of interest.

This document relates to functionalized (e.g., mono- or bi-functional) polymers (e.g., polyethylene glycol and related polymers) as well as methods and materials for making and using such functionalized polymers.

The disclosure provides compounds having formula (I):

##STR00001##

and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.2′, and X are as defined as set firth in the specification. Compounds having formula (I) are prodrugs that release glutamine analogs, e.g., 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON). The disclosure also provides compounds having formula (I) for use in treating cancer.
