Delivering Therapeutic oligonucleotides

Delivering therapeutic oligonucleotides

Getting an antisense or siRNA drug into the right tissue, cell, and intracellular compartment.

Overview

EXPLORE BY LEVEL

A therapeutic RNA must travel through the body, reach the right cells, enter them, and find the right place inside. Each step can limit how well it works.

Biodistribution does not equal productive delivery. Oligonucleotide pharmacology is often limited by intracellular trafficking and the small fraction reaching the site of action; delivery strategies are tissue- and modality-dependent.
