Application Area
Orilife provides raw materials for the small nucleic acid drug industry, which has a rich pool of candidate targets, a wide range of indications, and great application potential.
Small nucleic acid drugs are pharmaceuticals composed of artificially chemically synthesized short ribonucleotides, either single-stranded or double-stranded. They act on messenger RNA through the Watson-Crick base pairing principle. Compared to traditional drugs, small nucleic acid drugs have significant advantages in candidate targets, design, specificity, efficacy, and clinical development success rate. Coupled with the maturity of RNAi technology, small nucleic acid drugs are expected to have extensive applications in the fields of oncology and rare diseases, potentially improving the accessibility of medications for rare disease patients.
