RNA-targeted drugs

RNA-targeted drugs are medications designed to interact with specific RNA molecules inside cells. RNA carries genetic information from DNA to produce proteins, which perform many functions in the body. These drugs can modify or block RNA molecules to correct abnormalities, prevent disease progression, or treat conditions like certain genetic disorders and infections. By targeting RNA, these drugs offer precise intervention by interfering with harmful genetic messages without affecting other parts of the cell, providing new therapeutic options for previously difficult-to-treat diseases.
