Abstract

Therapeutic nucleic acids (TNAs) are a new class of drugs that exhibit different properties and mechanisms of action from those of small molecules or biological drugs. Over twenty oligonucleotide drugs and several COVID-19 vaccines have received regulatory approval for clinical use. A characteristic feature of these TNAs is that they are directed against one specific biological target and one specific RNA or DNA sequence. Consequently, TNAs currently used are administered as monotherapy. Due to the known advantages of multidrug therapy with low molecular weight drugs, it may be time to intensify work on such a treatment protocol, also in the case of TNAs.

现在是使用治疗性核酸组合进行多种药物治疗的时候了吗？

治疗性核酸（TNA）是一类新型药物，其特性和作用机制与小分子或生物药物不同。目前已有二十多种寡核苷酸药物和几种 COVID-19 疫苗获得了临床使用的监管批准。这些 TNA 的一个特点是针对一个特定的生物靶点和一个特定的 RNA 或 DNA 序列。因此，目前使用的 TNA 都是单药治疗。由于使用低分子量药物进行多药治疗具有众所周知的优势，现在可能是时候加强这种治疗方案的工作了，TNAs 也是如此。

期刊介绍： Quality research. Outstanding publications. With an impact factor of 3.124 (2019), ChemMedChem is a top journal for research at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies. ChemMedChem publishes primary as well as critical secondary and tertiary information from authors across and for the world. Its mission is to integrate the wide and flourishing field of medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences, ranging from drug design and discovery to drug development and delivery, from molecular modeling to combinatorial chemistry, from target validation to lead generation and ADMET studies. ChemMedChem typically covers topics on small molecules, therapeutic macromolecules, peptides, peptidomimetics, and aptamers, protein-drug conjugates, nucleic acid therapies, and beginning 2017, nanomedicine, particularly 1) targeted nanodelivery, 2) theranostic nanoparticles, and 3) nanodrugs. Contents ChemMedChem publishes an attractive mixture of: Full Papers and Communications Reviews and Minireviews Patent Reviews Highlights and Concepts Book and Multimedia Reviews.
