Nucleic Acids Therapeutics - Making Sense of Antisense
July 28, 2016
Session 7 of the 2016 Drug Design and Delivery Symposium

Unmodified oligonucleotides are highly charged, polyanionic macromolecules with poor drug-like properties and a lot of potential. Tune in as Punit Seth of Ionis describes the use of chemical modification strategies to enhance the stability, binding affinity, pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties of oligonucleotide drugs.
What You Will Learn
- General design principles for making an oligonucleotide drug
- Chemical modification strategies to enhance drug-like properties of oligonucleotide drugs
