Abstract
(estimated concentration at time 0 after bolus intravenous administration) and area under the curve (AUC), suggested no differential sex effect. Slight accumulation occurred between cycles 1 and 2 but was not observed after four consecutive administrations. Taken together, our findings demonstrate a safety profile of LNA-i-miR-221 in Sprague-Dawley rats and provide a reference translational framework and path for the development of other LNA miR inhibitors in phase I clinical study.
