Title:
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR INHIBITION OF EXPRESSION OF PROTEIN C (PROC) GENES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/177949
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to double-stranded ribonucleic acid (dsRNA) targeting a PROC gene, and methods of using the dsRNA to inhibit expression of PROC. At least one nucleotide ofthe dsRNA can be a modified nucleotide, e.g., a 2 -0-methyl modified nucleotide, a nucleotide comprising a 5'-phosphorothioate group, and a terminal nucleotide linked to a cholesteryl derivative or dodecanoic acid bisdecylamide group. Other examples of modified nucleotides include a 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoro modified nucleotide, a 2'-deoxymodified nucleotide, a locked nucleotide, an abasic nucleotide, 2'-amino-modified nucleotide, 2' -alkyl-modified nucleotide, morpholino nucleotide, a phosphoramidate, and a non-natural base comprising nucleotide. A dsRNA of the invention can include one or more of any of these modified nucleotides.
