The granted patent US12037589B2 outlines a series of claims related to novel compounds characterized by specific structural formulas (3) and (4). The primary focus is on compounds that include amphiregulin-specific DNA sense strands and their complementary RNA antisense strands. The claims detail various sequences for the DNA sense strands, specifically those listed in SEQ ID NO: 1-14, with particular emphasis on sequences 10, 11, and 12. Additionally, the compounds may feature chemical modifications to the DNA or RNA strands, including substitutions at the 2' carbon position of the sugar structure, alterations to the sugar's oxygen, and modifications to the bonds between nucleotides.

Further claims elaborate on the nature of the covalent bonds within these compounds, distinguishing between non-degradable and degradable bonds, with specific examples provided for each type. The patent also covers compounds that incorporate conjugates such as hexosamine, N-acetyl galactosamine, glucose, or mannose. Notably, the claims extend to nanoparticles that contain the described compounds, which may consist of a mixture of double-stranded oligonucleotides with unique DNA sense strand sequences. Lastly, the patent includes claims for pharmaceutical compositions that utilize either the compounds or the nanoparticles as active ingredients, indicating potential applications in therapeutic contexts.
