“…Following subcutaneous injection, the cholesterol conjugates accumulated in almost all organs: liver, kidney, adrenal glands, spleen, pancreas, heart, muscle, fat, thymus, lung, injection site, ovaries, and testes. At the same time, cholesterol conjugates accumulated most effectively in the liver, adrenal glands, spleen, and in the skin at the site of administration (Biscans et al, 2018). Cholesterol derivatives accumulated in other organs with the same or lesser efficiency than other lipophilic conjugates; e.g., it was shown that a conjugate of siRNA and saturated fatty acid (docosanoic, C21) accumulated more efficiently than a cholesterol conjugate and inhibited expression of the target gene ( Htt or Ppib ) in muscles (20 and 30% inhibition of Htt and Ppib , respectively) and fat (50% and 30% inhibition of Htt and Ppib , respectively) after subcutaneous injection (20 mg/kg) (Biscans et al, 2018).…”
