Abstract

Provided herein are oligomeric compounds with conjugate groups targeting apoplipoprotein C-III (ApoCIII). In certain embodiments, the ApoCIII targeting oligomeric compounds are conjugated to N-Acetylgalactosamine. Also disclosed herein are conjugated oligomeric compounds targeting ApoCIII for use in decreasing ApoCIII to treat, prevent, or ameliorate diseases, disorders or conditions related to ApoCIII. Certain diseases, disorders or conditions related to ApoCIII include inflammatory, cardiovascular and/or metabolic diseases, disorders or conditions. The conjugated oligomeric compounds disclosed herein can be used to treat such diseases, disorders or conditions in an individual in need thereof.

Claims (39)

1 . A method of reducing expression of apolipoprotein C3 in a subject comprising administering a compound comprising a modified oligonucleotide and a conjugate group, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, to a subject having familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS), wherein the modified oligonucleotide consists of 12 to 30 linked nucleosides, comprises a nucleobase sequence comprising a portion of at least 20 contiguous nucleobases complementary to an equal length portion of nucleobases 3533 to 3552 of SEQ ID NO: 3, wherein the nucleobase sequence of the modified oligonucleotide is at least 80% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 3, and wherein the modified oligonucleotide comprises:

a gap segment consisting of ten linked deoxynucleosides;

a 5′ wing segment consisting of five linked nucleosides;

a 3′ wing segment consisting of five linked nucleosides; wherein the gap segment is positioned between the 5′ wing segment and the 3′ wing segment, wherein each nucleoside of each wing segment comprises a 2′-O-methoxyethyl sugar, and wherein each cytosine residue is a 5-methylcytosine; and wherein the conjugate group comprises:

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the conjugate group is linked to the modified oligonucleotide at the 5′ end of the modified oligonucleotide.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the conjugate group is linked to the modified oligonucleotide at the 3′ end of the modified oligonucleotide.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each internucleoside linkage of the modified oligonucleotide is selected from a phosphodiester internucleoside linkage and a phosphorothioate internucleoside linkage.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the modified oligonucleotide comprises at least 5 phosphodiester internucleoside linkages.

6 . The method of claim 4 , wherein each internucleoside linkage in the gap segment of the modified oligonucleotide is a phosphorothioate linkage.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the modified oligonucleotide further comprises at least one phosphorothioate internucleoside linkage in each wing segment.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the modified oligonucleotide comprises the nucleoside sequence of SEQ ID NO: 244, and wherein the modified oligonucleotide comprises:

a gap segment consisting of ten linked deoxynucleosides;

a 5′ wing segment consisting of five linked nucleosides;

a 3′ wing segment consisting of five linked nucleosides;

wherein the gap segment is positioned between the 5′ wing segment and the 3′ wing segment, wherein each nucleoside of each wing segment comprises a 2′-O-methoxyethyl sugar, wherein each internucleoside linkage in the gap segment is a phosphorothioate linkage and in each wing segment at least one internucleoside linkage is a phosphorothioate internucleoside linkage; and wherein each cytosine residue is a 5-methylcytosine.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound has the formula:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof;

wherein either R 1 is —OCH 2 CH 2 OCH 3 and R 2 is H;

and for each pair of R 3 and R 4 on the same ring, independently for each ring: either R 3 is selected from H and —OCH 2 CH 2 OCH 3 and R 4 is H; or R 3 and R 4 together form a bridge, wherein R 3 is —O—, and R 4 is —CH 2 , —CH(CH 3 )—, or —CH 2 CH 2 — and R 3 and R 4 are directly connected such that the resulting bridge is selected from —O—CH 2 , —O—CH(CH 3 )—, and —O—CH 2 CH 2 ;

R 5 is selected from H and —CH 3 ;

and Z is selected from S − and O − .

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein each internucleoside linkage of the modified oligonucleotide is a phosphorothioate linkage.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound has the formula:

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said pharmaceutically acceptable salt is a sodium salt or a potassium salt.

13 . The method of claim 1 , comprising administering to the subject a composition comprising the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound, wherein the composition further comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.

14 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is administered by parenteral administration.

15 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is administered by subcutaneous administration.

16 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the administration reduces triglyceride levels in the subject.

17 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the administration increases HDL levels in the subject.

18 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the administration increases chylomicron clearance in the subject, whereby the increase in chylomicron clearance treats, prevents, delays or ameliorates pancreatitis in the subject.

19 . A method of treating hypertriglyceridemia in a subject comprising administering to the subject having hypertriglyceridemia a compound comprising a modified oligonucleotide and a conjugate group, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the modified oligonucleotide consists of 12 to 30 linked nucleosides, comprises a nucleobase sequence comprising a portion of at least 20 contiguous nucleobases complementary to an equal length portion of nucleobases 3533 to 3552 of SEQ ID NO: 3, wherein the nucleobase sequence of the modified oligonucleotide is at least 80% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 3, and wherein the modified oligonucleotide comprises:

a gap segment consisting of ten linked deoxynucleosides;

a 5′ wing segment consisting of five linked nucleosides;

a 3′ wing segment consisting of five linked nucleosides; wherein the gap segment is positioned between the 5′ wing segment and the 3′ wing segment, wherein each nucleoside of each wing segment comprises a 2′-O-methoxyethyl sugar, and wherein each cytosine residue is a 5-methylcytosine; and wherein the conjugate group comprises:

20 . A method of treating familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) in a subject comprising administering to the subject having FCS a compound comprising a modified oligonucleotide and a conjugate group, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the modified oligonucleotide consists of 12 to 30 linked nucleosides, comprises a nucleobase sequence comprising a portion of at least 20 contiguous nucleobases complementary to an equal length portion of nucleobases 3533 to 3552 of SEQ ID NO: 3, wherein the nucleobase sequence of the modified oligonucleotide is at least 80% complementary to SEQ ID NO: 3, and wherein the modified oligonucleotide comprises:

a gap segment consisting of ten linked deoxynucleosides;

a 5′ wing segment consisting of five linked nucleosides;

a 3′ wing segment consisting of five linked nucleosides; wherein the gap segment is positioned between the 5′ wing segment and the 3′ wing segment, wherein each nucleoside of each wing segment comprises a 2′-O-methoxyethyl sugar, and wherein each cytosine residue is a 5-methylcytosine; and wherein the conjugate group comprises:
