Methodological study demonstrates tandem copper-catalyzed click synthesis for multisugar oligonucleotides, highlighting modular conjugation strategies to improve targeted nucleic acid delivery.
Nucleic acids in the form of siRNA, antisense oligonucleotides or mRNA are currently explored as new promising modalities in the pharmaceutical industry. Particularly, the success of mRNA-vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, along with the successful development of the first sugar-modified siRNA therapeutics has inspired the field. The development of nucleic acid therapeutics requires efficient chemistry to link oligonucleotides to chemical structures that can improve stability, boost cellular uptake, or enable specific targeting. For the siRNA therapeutics currently in use, modification of the 3'-end of the oligonucleotides with triple-N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)
