Cholesterol-siRNA conjugates belong to lipophilic siRNA derivates.
Cholesterol is one of the most well-studied lipid moieties. It's the part of membrane as it contains 15%-30% of cellular membranes and it is also transported into cells by LDL and HDL, which bind to corresponding receptors. So cholesterol-siRNA can bind to LDL and HDL effectively. Cholesterol was conjugated to the 3′-terminus of the sense strand of siRNA via a pyrrolidone linkage. So cholesterol-siRNA conjugate can dramatically improve the pharmacokinetic properties of siRNA, like half-life and bioavailability in serum.

Cholesterol-siRNA conjugates were more effectively retained in the body compared with other lipophilic conjugates. Cholesterol-siRNA conjugate accumulated in almost all organs, and most effectively in the liver, adrenal glands, spleen and skin, following subcutaneous injection.
There are many cholesterol-siRNA conjugates which are at the clinical trial stage. Cholesterol-siRNA conjugate RXI-109 by PXi Pharmaceuticals was under Phase II clinical studies for its ability to reduce hypertrophic scarring. RXI-109 targets connective tissue growth factor. RXI-109 was also evaluated in a Phase I/II trial in the eyes of age-related macular degeneration patients at risk for subretinal fibrosis.
We provide cholesterol-siRNA conjugates with high quality. We can design and synthesis the siRNA based on the target gene, and our parent company BOC Sciences can provide high quality cholesterol, we can conjugate them to form cholesterol-siRNA conjugates.
