A METHOD FOR RAPIDLY EVALUATING PERFORMANCE OF SHORT INTERFERING RNA WITH NOVEL CHEMICAL MODIFICATIONS

摘要

It is an object of the instant invention to provide a method for the rapid evaluation of novel sugar modifications to be used in siRNA synthesis including the rapid evaluation of chemical modification patterns within the siRNA to effectuate increased stability and ultimately increased efficacy of a siRNA therapeutic. It is a further object of the instant invention to provide novel nucleosides useful for siRNA therapy.
