Custom Oligonucleotide Modification Service
A number of oligonucleotide modifications have been identified and applied for improving the properties of nucleic acid drugs, including increasing stability, specificity, and affinity while reducing toxicity due to off-target effects. Creative Biolabs is an excellent service provider and committed to providing a full range of custom oligonucleotide modification services with high quality and low cost. Our end-to-end oligonucleotide modification services will help you optimize the nucleic acid drug properties, promoting their applications in the precise treatment of genetic diseases.
Importance of Oligonucleotide Modification in RNA Therapeutics
RNA therapeutics provides tremendous potential for the precise treatment of genetic diseases. It uses oligonucleotides targeting RNAs involved in various diseases for therapeutic efforts, with greater specificity, improved potency, and decreased toxicity. In spite of the tremendous advances of RNA therapeutics, there are also many challenges remaining. Unmodified oligonucleotides have been revealed to possess poor drug-like properties, such as unstable, easy to be degraded by nucleases, low RNA-binding affinity and so on.
Currently, a number of oligonucleotide modification and conjugation strategies have been revealed and established to improve the therapeutic effect of RNA medicines. In particular, some oligonucleotide modifications can increase stability, binding affinity, and specificity, improve RNase H cleavage specificity, cellular uptake, and subcellular trafficking, as well as reduce the immune response induced by oligonucleotides. For example, phosphorothioate (PS) modification can increase the stability of oligonucleotide, protecting them from degradation by nucleases. Locked nucleic acid (LNA) modification can increase the specificity, affinity, and half-life of oligonucleotide drugs, allowing effective delivery to tissues of interest with lower toxicity.
