Modified Pore Forming Peptides for Self-Assembling RNA Nanoparticle Formation & Optimized Endosomal Escape 3:30 pm

Altamira’s OligoPhore and SemaPhore platforms rapidly condense any RNA into <100 nm polyplexes that are taken up by cellular macropinocytosis The peptide polyplexes avoid hepatic sequestration after systemic administration, and penetrate inflamed disease microenvironments by the “endothelial permeability and retention” (EPR) mechanism Endosomal pH-dependent polyplex disassembly releases the peptide to permeabilize the endosomal membrane for…Read more

Extrahepatic Delivery With OligoPhore & SemaPhore, Peptide-based Nanoparticles for siRNA & mRNA Therapeutics 9:30 am

Noncovalent polyplexes with any RNA that are highly stable in circulation and RNAase resistant Extrahepatic delivery and efficacy for siRNA and mRNA polyplexes have been demonstrated in myriad disease models in vivo, including cancer, atherosclerosis, arthritis, metabolic syndrome, and bowel disease Safety profiles after serial dosing in rodent models to date have been devoid of…Read more
