Selection of GalNAc-conjugated siRNAs with limited off-target-driven rat hepatotoxicity

Selection of GalNAc-conjugated siRNAs with limited off-target-driven rat hepatotoxicity

A subset of chemically-modified siRNAs conjugated to trivalent GalNAc may fail during nonclinical development due to rat hepatotoxicity. Here, the authors show that hepatotoxicity may be accounted for by microRNA-like off-target effects of siRNA and can be mitigated by a thermally destabilizing modi...
