  • Patent number: 11897911
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to novel nucleotide precursors and nucleotide analogs that can be incorporated into oligonucleotides, including double-stranded oligonucleotides such as siRNAs. Oligonucleotides containing these analogs have superior biological activity, for example, increased in vitro stability and improved in vivo potency especially duration of action. The improved oligonucleotides are useful for silencing (e.g., reducing or eradicating) the expression of a target gene. In particular embodiments, this invention encompasses specific nucleotide analogs to be included in double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs), and especially in siRNAs, that can hybridize to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) of interest, so as to reduce or block the expression of target genes of interest. The present compounds have general formula (I), wherein each of Ra, Rb, Rc and Rd is independently, H or a (C1-C6) alkyl group and B is a heterocyclic nucleobase.

  • Patent number: 11873284
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a pyridinylcyanoguanidine derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which is useful as an NAMPT inhibitor, and useful as a potential agent for the chemotherapy of a variety of diseases associated with abnormal NAD+ expression. The pyridinylcyanoguanidine derivative has a parent structure including cyanoguanidine attached to piperazine or pyrrolidine by an intermediate aliphatic chain, to which a side arylformyl (or heterocyclylformyl) group and pyridinyl (or substituted pyridinyl) group are attached. This structure comes from the structural optimization of FK866, a high-efficiency NAMPT inhibitor. In the structure, the substituted formyl piperazine and substituted formyl pyrrolidine are the further optimizations on the basis of FK866, which strengthens the interaction with NAMPT.
