Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[0015] The technology of the present disclosure can be more easily understood by referring to the following detailed description of certain embodiments.
[0016] Definitions As used herein, unless otherwise indicated, the following definitions shall apply. For the purposes of the present disclosure, chemical elements are identified according to the Periodic Table, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 75th Ed. In addition, general principles of organic chemistry are described in “Organic Chemistry”, Thomas Sorrell, University Science Books, Sausalito: 1999, and “March’s Advanced Organic Chemistry”, 5th Ed., Ed.: Smith, M.B. and March, J., John Wiley & Sons, New York: 2001.
[0017] As used herein in the present disclosure, unless clear from the context otherwise, (i) the terms “a” or “an” can be understood to mean “at least one”, (ii) the term “or” can be understood to mean “and / or”, (iii) the terms “comprising”, “comprise”, “including” (whether used with “without limitation” or not), and “include” (whether used with “without limitation” or not) can be understood to encompass item-by-item components or steps, whether presented by themselves or together with one or more additional components or steps, (iv) the term “another” can be understood to mean at least an additional / second one or more, (v) the terms “about” and “approximately” can be understood to allow for standard variations as understood by those skilled in the art, and (vi) when ranges are provided, endpoints are included.
[0018] Unless otherwise specified, descriptions of oligonucleotides and their elements (e.g., base sequences, sugar modifications, internucleotide linkages, linkage phosphorus stereochemistry, patterns thereof, etc.) are from 5' to 3'. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, in some embodiments, oligonucleotides can be provided and / or utilized in various forms, such as in the form of salts, particularly pharmaceutically acceptable salts, such as sodium salts. As will also be understood by those skilled in the art, in some embodiments, individual oligonucleotides within a composition can be in the same composition (e.g., a liquid composition) where a particular such oligonucleotide can be in different forms at a particular time, such as in the form of a salt (and may be dissolved, and the oligonucleotide chain may be present, for example, in anionic form(s) in a liquid composition), and still be considered to have the same constitution and / or structure. For example, those skilled in the art will understand that at a given pH, the internucleotide linkages between individual nucleotides along an oligonucleotide chain can be in the form of an acid (H) or one of a plurality of possible salt forms (e.g., sodium salt, or salts of different cations depending on which ions can be present in a preparation or composition), and that such individual oligonucleotides can be appropriately considered to have the same constitution and / or structure as long as those acid forms (e.g., when present, replacing all cations with H+) are of the same constitution and / or structure.
[0019] Aliphatic: As used herein, "aliphatic" means a straight-chain (i.e., unbranched) or branched-chain, substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon chain that is completely saturated or contains one or more unsaturated units (but is not aromatic), or a substituted or unsubstituted monocyclic, bicyclic, or polycyclic hydrocarbon ring that is completely saturated or contains one or more unsaturated units (but is not aromatic), or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the aliphatic group contains from 1 to 50 aliphatic carbon atoms. In some embodiments, the aliphatic group contains from 1 to 20 aliphatic carbon atoms. In other embodiments, the aliphatic group contains from 1 to 10 aliphatic carbon atoms. In other embodiments, the aliphatic group contains from 1 to 9 aliphatic carbon atoms. In other embodiments, the aliphatic group contains from 1 to 8 aliphatic carbon atoms. In other embodiments, the aliphatic group contains from 1 to 7 aliphatic carbon atoms. In other embodiments, the aliphatic group contains from 1 to 6 aliphatic carbon atoms. In still other embodiments, the aliphatic group contains from 1 to 5 aliphatic carbon atoms, and in still other embodiments, the aliphatic group contains 1, 2, 3, or 4 aliphatic carbon atoms. Suitable aliphatic groups include, but are not limited to, linear or branched, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl groups, and their hybrids such as (cycloalkyl)alkyl, (cycloalkenyl)alkyl, or (cycloalkyl)alkenyl.
[0020] Alkyl: As used herein, the term "alkyl" is given its ordinary meaning in the art and includes saturated aliphatic groups including straight-chain alkyl groups, branched-chain alkyl groups, cycloalkyl (alicyclic) groups, alkyl-substituted cycloalkyl groups, and cycloalkyl-substituted alkyl groups. In some embodiments, alkyl has from 1 to 100 carbon atoms. In certain embodiments, straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl has about 1 to 20 carbon atoms in its backbone (e.g., C1-C 20 , C2-C 20) and alternatively, have from about 1 to 10 carbon atoms. In some embodiments, the cycloalkyl ring has from about 3 to 10 carbon atoms in its ring structure when such a ring is monocyclic, bicyclic, or polycyclic, and alternatively, has about 5, 6, or 7 carbons in the ring structure. In some embodiments, the alkyl group can be a lower alkyl group, and a lower alkyl group contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms (e.g., C1-C4 for straight-chain lower alkyl).
[0021] Animal: As used herein, the term "animal" refers to any member of the animal kingdom. In some embodiments, "animal" refers to a human at any stage of development. In some embodiments, "animal" refers to a non-human animal at any stage of development. In certain embodiments, the non-human animal is a mammal (e.g., rodents, mice, rats, rabbits, monkeys, dogs, cats, sheep, cows, primates, and / or pigs). In some embodiments, animals include, but are not limited to, mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and / or parasites. In some embodiments, the animal may be a transgenic animal, a genetically engineered animal, and / or a clone.
[0022] Characteristic moiety: As used herein, the term "characteristic moiety" refers, in the broadest sense, to a part of a substance whose presence (or absence) correlates with the presence (or absence) of a particular characteristic, attribute, or activity of the substance. In some embodiments, the characteristic moiety of a substance is a part found in substances and related substances that share a particular characteristic, attribute, or activity, but not in substances that do not share that particular characteristic, attribute, or activity. In certain embodiments, the characteristic moiety shares at least one functional characteristic with the intact substance. For example, in some embodiments, the "characteristic moiety" of a nucleic acid is, in some embodiments, a part that includes the number of contiguous stretches of nucleobases that are characteristic of that nucleic acid.
[0023] Comparable: The term "comparable" is used herein to describe two (or more) sets of conditions or situations that are sufficiently similar to each other to enable comparison of the resulting outcomes or observed phenomena. In some embodiments, a comparable series of conditions or situations is characterized by a plurality of substantially identical features and one or a few varying features. One of ordinary skill in the art will understand that a series of conditions is comparable to another if the differences in the results or observed phenomena obtained under the different series of conditions or situations are caused by the variation of those varying features, or if the number and type of substantially identical features are sufficient to warrant a reasonable conclusion indicating the variation of the features.
[0024] Heteroatom: The term "heteroatom" as used herein means an atom other than carbon or hydrogen. In some embodiments, the heteroatom is boron, oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, phosphorus, or silicon (including oxidized forms of nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, or silicon, charged forms such as nitrogen (e.g., quaternized forms, iminium groups, etc.), phosphorus, sulfur, oxygen, etc.). In some embodiments, the heteroatom is silicon, phosphorus, oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen. In some embodiments, the heteroatom is silicon, oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen. In some embodiments, the heteroatom is oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen.
[0025] Identity: As used herein, the term "identity" refers to the overall relatedness between polymer molecules, such as between nucleic acid molecules (e.g., oligonucleotides, DNA, RNA, etc.) and / or between polypeptide molecules. In some embodiments, polymer molecules are considered to be "substantially identical" to each other if their sequences are at least 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% identical. The percent identity between two nucleic acid or polypeptide sequences can be calculated, for example, by aligning the two sequences for optimal comparison purposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced into one or both of the first and second sequences for optimal alignment, and non-identical sequences can be ignored for comparison purposes). In certain embodiments, the length of the aligned sequences for comparison purposes is at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or substantially 100% of the length of the reference sequence. The nucleotides at corresponding positions are then compared. If a position in the first sequence is occupied by the same residue (e.g., nucleotide or amino acid) as the corresponding position in the second sequence, the molecules are identical at that position. The percent identity between two sequences is a function of the number of identical positions shared by the sequences, taking into account the number of gaps and the length of each gap that needs to be introduced for optimal alignment of the two sequences. Comparison of sequences and determination of the percent identity between two sequences can be accomplished using a mathematical algorithm. For example, the percent identity between two nucleotide sequences can be determined using the Meyers and Miller algorithm (CABIOS, 1989, 4:11-17) incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0). In some exemplary embodiments, nucleic acid sequence comparisons made with the ALIGN program use a PAM120 weight residue table, a 12 gap length penalty, and a 4 gap penalty.The percent identity between two nucleotide sequences can alternatively be determined using the GAP program in the GCG software package, using the NWSgapdna.CMP matrix.
[0026] Inter-nucleotide linkage: As used herein, the phrase "inter-nucleotide linkage" generally refers to the linkage that connects the nucleoside units of an oligonucleotide or nucleic acid. In some embodiments, the inter-nucleotide linkage is the phosphodiester linkage widely found in naturally occurring DNA and RNA molecules (the natural phosphate linkage (-OP(=O)(OH)O-), which may exist in salt form, as understood by those skilled in the art). In some embodiments, the inter-nucleotide linkage is a modified inter-nucleotide linkage (not a natural phosphate linkage). In some embodiments, the inter-nucleotide linkage is a "modified inter-nucleotide linkage" where at least one oxygen atom or -OH of the phosphodiester linkage is replaced by a different organic or inorganic moiety. In some embodiments, such organic or inorganic moieties are selected from =S, =Se, =NR', -SR', -SeR', -N(R')2, B(R')3, -S-, -Se-, and -N(R')-, and each R' is independently -H, or a C having 1 to 5 heteroatoms 1-10 aliphatic, C 6-14 aryl, C 1-10 heteroaliphatic, an optionally substituted group selected from 5- to 10-membered heteroaryl having 1 to 5 heteroatoms, and 3- to 10-membered heterocyclyl having 1 to 4 heteroatoms, or two or more R' groups together with the intervening atoms form an optionally substituted 3- to 10-membered ring having 0 to 5 heteroatoms in addition to the intervening atoms. In some embodiments, the modified inter-nucleotide linkage is a phosphorothioate linkage. In some embodiments, the inter-nucleotide linkage is, for example, one of PNA (peptide nucleic acid) or PMO (phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer) linkages. Those skilled in the art will understand that the inter-nucleotide linkage may exist as an anion or cation at a given pH due to the presence of acidic or basic moieties during the linkage.
[0027] In vitro: As used herein, the term "in vitro" refers to events that occur not within a living organism (e.g., an animal, a plant, and / or a microorganism), but rather in an artificial environment, such as within a test tube or reaction vessel, within a cell culture, etc.
[0028] In vivo: As used herein, the term "in vivo" refers to events that occur within a living organism (e.g., an animal, a plant, and / or a microorganism).
[0029] Linking phosphorus: As defined herein, the phrase "linking phosphorus" refers to the phosphorus atom in which the particular phosphorus atom being referred to is present in the internucleotide linkage, and this phosphorus atom is used to indicate correspondence to the phosphorus atom of the phosphodiester internucleotide linkage present in naturally occurring DNA and RNA. In some embodiments, the linking phosphorus atom is in a modified internucleotide linkage, and each oxygen atom of the phosphodiester linkage is optionally and independently replaced by an organic or inorganic moiety. In some embodiments, the linking phosphorus atom is chiral (e.g., as in phosphorothioate internucleotide linkages). In some embodiments, the linking phosphorus atom is achiral (e.g., as in a natural phosphate linkage).
[0030] Modified nucleobase: Terms such as "modified nucleobase", "modified base", etc. refer to a chemical moiety that is chemically different from a nucleobase but can perform at least one function of a nucleobase. In some embodiments, the modified nucleobase is a nucleobase containing a modification. In some embodiments, the modified nucleobase can form a moiety in a polymer that can base pair with a nucleic acid containing at least a complementary sequence of the base, e.g., at least one function of the base. In some embodiments, the modified nucleobase is a substituted A, T, C, G, or U, or a substituted tautomer of A, T, C, G, or U. In some embodiments, a modified nucleobase in the context of an oligonucleotide refers to a nucleobase that is not A, T, C, G, or U.
[0031] Modified nucleoside: The term "modified nucleoside" refers to a moiety that is derived from or chemically similar to a natural nucleoside but contains a chemical modification that distinguishes it from the natural nucleoside. Non-limiting examples of modified nucleosides include nucleosides containing modifications in the base and / or sugar. Non-limiting examples of modified nucleosides include nucleosides having a 2'-modification in the sugar. Non-limiting examples of modified nucleosides also include abasic nucleosides (lacking a nucleobase). In some embodiments, a modified nucleoside can form a moiety in a polymer that can base pair with a nucleic acid containing at least a complementary sequence of the base, e.g., at least one function of the nucleoside.
[0032] Modified nucleotide: The term "modified nucleotide" includes any chemical moiety that is structurally different from a natural nucleotide but can perform at least one function of a natural nucleotide.

[0081] Nucleobase In accordance with the present disclosure, various nucleobases can be utilized in the provided oligonucleotides. In some embodiments, the nucleobases are natural nucleobases that are the most commonly occurring nucleobases of A, T, C, G, and U. In some embodiments, the nucleobases are modified nucleobases in that they are not A, T, C, G, or U. In some embodiments, the nucleobases are optionally substituted A, T, C, G, or U, or substituted tautomers of A, T, C, G, or U. In some embodiments, the nucleobases are optionally substituted A, T, C, G, or U, such as 5mC, 5-hydroxymethyl C, etc. In some embodiments, the nucleobases are A, T, C, G, or U substituted with alkyl. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is A. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is T. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is C. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is G. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is U. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is 5mC. In some embodiments, the nucleobases are substituted A, T, C, G, or U. In some embodiments, the nucleobases are substituted tautomers of A, T, C, G, or U. In some embodiments, the substitution protects a particular functional group in the nucleobase and minimizes unwanted reactions during oligonucleotide synthesis. Suitable techniques for nucleobase protection in oligonucleotide synthesis are widely known in the art and can be utilized in accordance with the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the modified nucleobases improve the properties and / or activities of the oligonucleotides. For example, in many cases, 5mC can be utilized instead of C to modulate certain unwanted biological effects, such as the immune response. In some embodiments, when determining sequence identity, substituted nucleobases having the same hydrogen bonding pattern are treated the same as unsubstituted nucleobases, e.g., 5mC can be treated the same as C [e.g., an oligonucleotide having 5mC instead of C (e.g., AT5mCG) is considered to have the same base sequence as an oligonucleotide having C at the corresponding position(s) (e.g., ATCG)].
[0082] In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide comprises one or more A, T, C, G, or U. In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide comprises one or more optionally substituted A, T, C, G, or U. In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide comprises one or more 5-methylcytosine (5mC), 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, 5-formylcytosine, or 5-carboxylcytosine. In some embodiments, the oligonucleotide comprises one or more 5mC. In some embodiments, each nucleobase in the oligonucleotide is independently selected from optionally substituted A, T, C, G, and U, and optionally substituted tautomers of A, T, C, G, and U. In some embodiments, each nucleobase in the oligonucleotide is independently optionally protected A, T, C, 5mC, G, and U. In some embodiments, each nucleobase in the oligonucleotide is optionally substituted A, T, C, G, or U. In some embodiments, each nucleobase in the oligonucleotide is selected from the group consisting of A, T, C, G, U, and 5mC.
[0083] In some embodiments, the nucleobase is optionally substituted 2AP or DAP. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is optionally substituted 2AP. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is optionally substituted DAP. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is 2AP. In some embodiments, the nucleobase is DAP.
[0084] In some embodiments, the nucleobases are natural nucleobases or modified nucleobases derived from natural nucleobases.

[0212] The amount, concentration, etc. of the oligonucleotides provided can be evaluated using various techniques in accordance with the present disclosure, such as by UV (e.g., at 260 nm), weight, etc. In some embodiments, the amount, concentration, etc. of all the oligonucleotides present in the composition are evaluated. In some embodiments, the amount, concentration, etc. include all those forms in which all the oligonucleotides share the same configuration (e.g., diastereomers with respect to chiral linking phosphorus) including the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
[0213] SARM1 In some embodiments, SARM1 refers to a gene or its gene product (e.g., nucleic acid (e.g., DNA, RNA, etc.), transcript (e.g., SARM1 mRNA), protein encoded thereby (e.g., SARM1 polypeptide), etc.) from a species that may be known as SARM2, NAD(+) hydrolase SARM1, NADP(+) hydrolase SARM1, NADase SARM1, sterile alpha and armadillo repeat protein, sterile alpha and TIR motif-containing protein 1, SAMD2, MyD88-5, SAM domain-containing protein 2, sterile alpha motif domain-containing protein 2, HsTIR, etc. Various SARM1 sequences including its variants are readily available to those skilled in the art. Various techniques, such as assays, cells, animal models, etc. have also been reported and can be used for the characterization and / or evaluation of the techniques (e.g., oligonucleotides, compositions, methods, etc.) provided in accordance with the present disclosure.
[0214] The SARM1 gene has been reported to encode the SARM1 protein, which, according to various reports, contains 724 or 690 amino acids depending on the isoform and is mainly localized in the cytoplasm and mitochondria. Some studies have also shown that SARM1 may be localized in the axons, dendrites, and / or synapses of nerve cells. In some embodiments, SARM1 contains a plurality of domains from the N-terminal region to the C-terminal region, including (i) a mitochondrial targeting region, (ii) an armadillo repeat (ARM) domain, (iii) a first sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain, (iv) a second sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain, and (v) a toll / interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptor (TIR) domain. SARM1 from other species, such as monkeys, rats, and mice, has been reported to contain various conserved domains similar to human SARM1.
[0215] The SARM1 protein has been reported to function as an enzyme that cleaves nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) into nicotinamide (NAM), adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPR), and cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (cADPR) (Essuman et al., Neuron, 2017). Furthermore, homodimerization of SARM1 has been reported to increase this enzyme activity (Gerdts et al., J Neurosci., 2013, Summer et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2016). Certain studies have suggested that neural stress or injury can lead to upregulation of SARM1 activity by enabling this dimerization through relief of inhibition by the ARM domain (Loring and Thompson, Cell Chem Biol., 2020). SARM1 has been reported to be associated with the presence and function of nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase 2 (NMNAT2), which has been described as neuroprotective and has been reported to function to maintain low levels of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) and relatively high levels of NAD+ (Figley et al., Neuron, 2021).
[0216] The proposed NADase activity of SARM1 is suggested to contribute to cell death and / or axonal degeneration by depleting NAD+ and / or inducing signal transduction cascades by increasing ADPR and cADPR (Loring and Thompson, Cell Chem Biol., 2020). Knockdown and / or knockout of SARM1 has been reported to be potentially neuroprotective by preventing axonal degeneration induced by depletion or loss of NMNAT2 and / or by inhibiting Wallerian degeneration (Gilley et al., Cell Rep., 2015, Gilley et al., Cell Rep., 2017). Several studies have also detailed the in vivo prevention of peripheral neuropathy or retinal degeneration by SARM1 knockout, further supporting the potential neuroprotective effects of SARM1 downregulation (Geisler et al., Brain, 2016, Finnegan et al., Int J Mol Sci, 2022).
[0217] In some embodiments, the SARM1 gene, transcript (e.g., mRNA before or after splicing), or protein variant or isoform contains a mutation (in some embodiments, referred to as a SNP or reportable as a SNP). SARM1 mutations have been reported to be enriched in subjects with ALS (Bloom et al., Mol Neurodegener, 2022). Among these mutations, some mutations have been reported to result in a constitutively active SARM1 protein. In some embodiments, the mutations are rs782325355, rs71373646, rs71373646, rs11652384, rs1555585331, rs781854217, rs782421919, rs782331635, rs1032963037, rs1449836804, rs1555585243, rs376587698, rs369186722, rs373458416, rs782706244, rs1555585662, rs1555585804, rs377210302, rs1555585809, rs782228906, rs782106973, rs571724138, rs539229444, rs782196205, rs782398426, rs782321764, rs782753946, rs1451417529, rs782676389, rs782225125, rs782774927, rs782256561, rs372946020, and / or rs781850558.
