Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An antisense molecule capable of binding to a selected target site to induce exon skipping in the dystrophin gene, as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 to 202.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. An antisense oligonucleotide of 25 bases comprising a base sequence that is 100% complementary to 25 consecutive bases of exon 45 of the human dystrophin pre-mRNA, wherein the base sequence comprises at least 12 consecutive bases of CCAAUGCCAUCCUGGAGUUCCUGUAA (SEQ ID NO: 207), in which cytosine bases are 5-methylcytosine bases, wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a 2′-O-methyl phosphorothioate oligoribonucleotide, and wherein the antisense oligonucleotide induces exon 45 skipping; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 2. An antisense oligonucleotide of 25 bases comprising a base sequence that is 100% complementary to 25 consecutive bases of exon 45 of the human dystrophin pre-mRNA, wherein the base sequence comprises at least 12 consecutive bases of CCAAUGCCAUCCUGGAGUUCCUGUAA (SEQ ID NO: 207), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a 2′-O-methyl phosphorothioate oligoribonucleotide, and wherein the antisense oligonucleotide induces exon 45 skipping; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. 3. A pharmaceutical composition comprising: (a) an antisense oligonucleotide of 25 bases comprising a base sequence that is 100% complementary to 25 consecutive bases of exon 45 of the human dystrophin pre-mRNA, wherein the base sequence comprises at least 12 consecutive bases of CCAAUGCCAUCCUGGAGUUCCUGUAA (SEQ ID NO: 207), in which cytosine bases are 5-methylcytosine bases, wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a 2′-O-methyl phosphorothioate oligoribonucleotide, and wherein the antisense oligonucleotide induces exon 45 skipping; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and (b) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 4. A pharmaceutical composition comprising: (a) an antisense oligonucleotide of 25 bases comprising a base sequence that is 100% complementary to 25 consecutive bases of exon 45 of the human dystrophin pre-mRNA, wherein the base sequence comprises at least 12 consecutive bases of CCAAUGCCAUCCUGGAGUUCCUGUAA (SEQ ID NO: 207), wherein the antisense oligonucleotide is a 2′-O-methyl phosphorothioate oligoribonucleotide, and wherein the antisense oligonucleotide induces exon 45 skipping; or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and (b) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
