Optimizing PEG Molecular Weight and Molar Composition for Enhanced In Vivo Pharmacokinetics of a Mixed Micellar siRNA Carrier

RNA interference (RNAi) by small interfering RNA (siRNA) possesses great promise as a therapeutic for pathologies whose etiology is related to gene overexpression. However, due to the poor pharmacokinetic properties of siRNA, it requires a carrier for in vivo intravenous delivery. Historically, nucl...
