ASODE™ Platform

ASODE™ (Anti-Sense Oligonucleotide Development) is Autotelic Bio’s ASO new drug development system
which includes the whole processes of ASO sequence design, chemical modification, and in vitro/in vivo evaluations to derive the optimal ASO.

01.

ASO Sequence Derivation

After Setting up hot spot regions that can effectively inhibit target mRNA, we derive customized ASO sequences that act on those regions.

02.

ASO Sequence Design

The derived ASO sequences are composed of second or third-generation modified sugars with PS (phosphorothioate) backbone as the basic structure, and can be designed in various ways depending on the target.

03.

ASO Novel Molecule Derivation

The designed ASOs are synthesized in-house and then novel molecules are derived based on the designed ASOs through in vitro and in vivo evaluation stages.

ASODE™

Introduction of Autotelic Bio’s effective processes for deriving novel molecules

01

Target Gene Selection

  • Target gene selection based on correlation between gene expression level and disease

02

Sequence Selection

  • Selection of sequences that affect gene expression in target gene
  • Exclusion of sequences with potential off-target toxicity

03

ASO Design/Manufacture

  • Increase in ASO modification binding affinity and plasma stability, toxicity management
  • In-house ASO synthesis system

04

In vitro Evaluation

  • Confirm ASO uptake and plasma stability
  • Confirm gene/protein expression
  • MoA Study based on target

05

In vivo Evaluation

  • Establish in-house PK analysis method
  • Establish humanized NSG mouse model
