Oligonucleotides are chemically synthesized using building blocks, protected phosphoramidites of natural or chemically modified nucleosides or, to a lesser extent, of non-nucleosidic compounds. The oligonucleotide chain assembly proceeds in the 3' to 5' direction by following a routine procedure referred to as a "synthetic cycle".
Many oligonucleotide synthesis factories designed and manufactured their own custom platforms and little is known due to the designs being proprietary. The VLSS design continued to be refined and is continued in the QMaster synthesizer [105] which is a scaled down platform providing milligram to gram amounts of synthetic oligonucleotide.
Gapmer antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) have the potential to cause unintended, off-target effects. These off-target effects are produced when the gapmer binds to mRNA with a sufficient degree of complementarity to the target mRNA, blocking or down-regulating the translation of unintended proteins.

On Tuesday, Silexion Therapeutics Corp. (NASDAQ:SLXN) released new preclinical data for SIL-204, its next-generation siRNA therapeutic candidate. SIL-204, administered in an extended-release ...
The nucleic acid shell is made up of short, synthetic oligonucleotides terminated with a functional group that can be utilized to attach them to the nanoparticle core. The dense loading of nucleic acids on the particle surface results in a characteristic radial orientation around the nanoparticle core, which minimizes repulsion between the ...
Overall, the analyst is optimistic about Viking’s prospects, maintaining the stock as a top pick for 2025 and an Outperform rating on its shares. Price Action: VKTX stock is down 11.4% at $41.37 ...
Inventiva SA (NASDAQ:IVA) stock traded higher on Monday, with a strong session volume of 8.55 million compared to an average volume of 9.91k, according to data from Benzinga Pro. The company ...
Antisense therapy is a form of treatment that uses antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) to target messenger RNA (mRNA). ASOs are capable of altering mRNA expression through a variety of mechanisms, including ribonuclease H mediated decay of the pre-mRNA, direct steric blockage, and exon content modulation through splicing site binding on pre-mRNA.
