US Patent 9297009 UNA oligomers targeting micro-RNA for therapeutics

This invention provides UNA oligomers for therapeutics that can be used to target micro-RNAs. The UNA oligomers can be composed of one or more 2′-3′-seco-nucleomonomers and one or more natural or non-natural nucleotide monomers, and can be a single stranded oligomer. Embodiments include UNA oligomers with phosphorothioate or boranophosphate intermonomer linkages. The UNA oligomers can be used to target micro-RNAs to reduce micro-RNA activity.
