Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRs) have been implicated in numerous diseases, presenting an attractive target for the development of novel therapeutics. The various regulatory roles of miRs in cellular processes underscore the need for precise strategies. Recent advances in RNA research offer hope by enabling the identification of small molecules capable of selectively targeting specific disease-associated miRs. This understanding paves the way for developing small molecules that can modulate the activity of disease-associated miRs. Herein, we discuss the progress made in the field of drug discovery processes, transforming the landscape of miR-targeted therapeutics by small molecules. By leveraging various approaches, researchers can systematically identify compounds to modulate miR function, providing a more potent intervention either by inhibiting or degrading miRs. The implementation of these multidisciplinary approaches bears the potential to revolutionize treatments for diverse diseases, signifying a significant stride towards the targeting of miRs by precision medicine.

用小分子靶向 MicroRNA。
微小核糖核酸(miRs)与多种疾病有关,是开发新型疗法的诱人靶点。miRs 在细胞过程中发挥着各种调控作用,因此需要制定精确的策略。RNA 研究的最新进展给人们带来了希望,因为它能够鉴定出能够选择性地靶向特定疾病相关 miRs 的小分子。这种认识为开发能调节疾病相关 miRs 活性的小分子铺平了道路。在此,我们将讨论药物发现过程领域所取得的进展,这些进展改变了小分子 miR 靶向疗法的格局。通过利用各种方法,研究人员可以系统地发现调节 miR 功能的化合物,通过抑制或降解 miR 提供更有效的干预。这些多学科方法的实施有可能彻底改变各种疾病的治疗方法,标志着精准医学在靶向 miRs 方面迈出了重要的一步。
