Among other things, the present disclosure provides designed PNPLA3 oligonucleotides, compositions, and methods thereof. In some embodiments, provided oligonucleotide compositions provide improved single-stranded RNA interference and/or RNase H-mediated knockdown. Among other things, the present disclosure encompasses the recognition that structural elements of oligonucleotides, such as base sequence, chemical modifications (e.g., modifications of sugar, base, and/or internucleotidic linkages) or patterns thereof, conjugation with additional chemical moieties, and/or stereochemistry [e.g., stereochemistry of backbone chiral centers (chiral internucleotidic linkages)], and/or patterns thereof, can have significant impact on oligonucleotide properties and activities, e.g., RNA interference (RNAi) activity, stability, delivery, etc. In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for treatment of diseases using provided oligonucleotide compositions, for example, in RNA interference and/or RNase H-mediated knockdown.

Antibiotics having intrinsic anti-mitochondrial properties may be chemically modified to target the antibiotics to mitochondria, and the resulting antimitoscins may have enhanced anti-cancer properties, among other advantageous properties. Also described are methods for identifying antimitoscins, methods of using antimitoscins to target cancer stem cells, and pharmaceutical compositions for treating cancer containing one or more antimitoscins as the active ingredient. Specific antimitoscins compounds and groups of antimitoscins are also disclosed.

The present invention provides compounds suitable for use in the treatment of conditions where it is beneficial to halt bone loss and kill cancer cells, particularly in metastases to and primary tumours in the bone and surrounding tissues. Consequently the present invention provides compounds comprising a bisphosphonate moiety linked to a phytochemical, pharmaceutical compositions thereof and methods of treatment of bone diseases and/or proliferative disorders.

Provided herein are conjugates of nucleoside antimetabolites and their analogs with ibandronate, pharmaceutical compositions including one or more of said conjugates, methods of synthesizing the same as well as methods of treating diseases and or conditions using the same.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for providing controllable local delivery of a conjugate of chloroquine (CQ) and a bisphosphonate to treat diseases characterized by abnormal bone metabolism. In certain embodiments, the invention is used as a treatment for a subject with diseases and disorders characterized by bone loss.

The present invention provides carbonate prodrugs which comprise a carbonic phosphoric anhydride prodrug moiety attached to the hydroxyl or carboxyl group of a parent drug moiety. The prodrugs may provide improved physicochemical properties over the parent drug. Also provided are methods of treating a disease or condition that is responsive to the parent drug using the carbonate prodrugs, as well as kits and unit dosages.

Described herein are prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) binding conjugates that are useful for delivering therapeutic, diagnostic and imaging agents. Also described herein are pharmaceutical composition containing them and methods of using the conjugates and compositions. Also described are processes for manufacture of the conjugates and the compositions containing them.
