In addition to classic small-molecule drugs and modern protein-based biologics, an intriguing class of medicines is the therapeutic oligonucleotides. Most approved in this category are antisense oligomers or those acting via RNA interference, both which use base hybridization. Aptamers, also known as chemical antibodies form a smaller, yet equally interesting group oligonucleotides that can recognize wide range molecular targets. Despite their high potential, only two aptamers have been date, pegaptanib (MacugenTM) avacincaptad pegol (IzervayTM), for treatment age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), plays important role pathogenesis many eye diseases, emerged first anti-VEGF agent was used various indications, further inspiring development other therapies. review, we summarize history aptamer medicine, pegaptanib. We describe its chemistry track from earliest stages preclinical phase, clinical trials, eventual regulatory approval. Additionally, evaluate position among agents provide comprehensive overview pegaptanib’s efficacy, safety, cost-effectiveness, comparing these aspects with monoclonal similar bevacizumab ranibizumab.

Abstract: The late 2019 emergence of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causative agent COVID-19, caused profound and unprecedented disruption to global socio-economic structure, negatively affecting millions lives worldwide. A typical hallmark severe COVID-19 is hyper inflammation due aberrant cytokine release (cytokine storm) by innate immune cells. Recent studies have revealed that SARS-CoV-2, through its spike (S) protein, can activate body's cells via Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs), particularly TLR4. In silico demonstrated S protein binds with high affinity TLR4, triggering downstream signaling processes result in pro-inflammatory release. Compared other TLRs, such as TLR2, TLR4 plays a more significant role initiating sustaining inflammatory response associated COVID-19. Furthermore, interactions between virus target enhance cellular expression making susceptible viral subsequent inflammation. This increased upon entry creates feedback loop, where heightened levels lead amplified responses, contributing severity disease. Additionally, TLR4's potent activation pathways sets it apart from underscoring pivotal pathogenesis this review, we thoroughly explore multitude regulatory SARS-CoV-2 employs incite We specifically focus on critical impact compared highlighting how exacerbate By delving into mechanisms TLR4-mediated inflammation, aim shed light potential therapeutic targets could mitigate damage Understanding unique context infection pave way for novel treatment strategies inhibit receptor's activity, thereby reducing overall disease burden improving patient outcomes.
