Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to linkers for connecting a carrier molecule to a therapeutic molecule to form a conjugate, in particular linkers formed of amino acids such as glutamic acid, succinic acid, and gamma-aminobutyric acid. The present invention further relates to a conjugate comprising a linker of the invention, and the use of the conjugate in the treatment of various diseases.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A conjugate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof of the structure wherein the carrier is a peptide consisting of the sequence RBRRBRFQILYBRBR (SEQ ID NO: 70), wherein the peptide is N-acetylated, and wherein the therapeutic molecule is an antisense oligonucleotide consisting of the sequence 5′-CAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 81), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a PMO. 2 . A conjugate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, of the structure: wherein the carrier is a peptide consisting of the sequence RBRRBRFQILYBRBR (SEQ ID NO: 70), wherein the peptide is N-acetylated, and wherein the therapeutic molecule is an antisense oligonucleotide consisting of the sequence 5′-CAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 81), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a PMO. 3 . A conjugate of the structure: wherein the carrier is a peptide consisting of the sequence RBRRBRFQILYBRBR (SEQ ID NO: 70), wherein the peptide is N-acetylated, and wherein the therapeutic molecule is an antisense oligonucleotide consisting of the sequence 5′-CAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 81), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a PMO. 4 . A pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a conjugate of the structure: wherein the carrier is a peptide consisting of the sequence RBRRBRFQILYBRBR (SEQ ID NO: 70), wherein the peptide is N-acetylated, and wherein the therapeutic molecule is an antisense oligonucleotide consisting of the sequence 5′-CAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 81), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a PMO. 5 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising: a conjugate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, of the structure: wherein the carrier is a peptide consisting of the sequence RBRRBRFQILYBRBR (SEQ ID NO: 70), wherein the peptide is N-acetylated, and wherein the therapeutic molecule is an antisense oligonucleotide consisting of the sequence 5′-CAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 81), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a PMO; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 6 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising: a conjugate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, of the structure: wherein the carrier is a peptide consisting of the sequence RBRRBRFQILYBRBR (SEQ ID NO: 70), wherein the peptide is N-acetylated, and wherein the therapeutic molecule is an antisense oligonucleotide consisting of the sequence 5′-CAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 81), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a PMO; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 7 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising: a conjugate of the structure: wherein the carrier is a peptide consisting of the sequence RBRRBRFQILYBRBR (SEQ ID NO: 70), wherein the peptide is N-acetylated, and wherein the therapeutic molecule is an antisense oligonucleotide consisting of the sequence 5′-CAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 81), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a PMO; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 8 . A pharmaceutical composition comprising: a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a conjugate of the structure: wherein the carrier is a peptide consisting of the sequence RBRRBRFQILYBRBR (SEQ ID NO: 70), wherein the peptide is N-acetylated, and wherein the therapeutic molecule is an antisense oligonucleotide consisting of the sequence 5′-CAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAGCAG-3′ (SEQ ID NO: 81), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a PMO; and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
