The present invention relates to a dual-targeting siRNA agent comprising two distinct siRNAs targeting two different genes or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, wherein the two distinct siRNAs or their salts are linked by a pharmaceutically acceptable ligand. The siRNA is a dsRNA composed of a sense strand and an antisense strand, and the two different genes are selected from a group consisting of angiotensinogen (AGT), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), and human angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3). The present invention provides the application of the dual-targeting siRNA agent in the preparation of drugs for preventing or treating diseases associated with hypertension and/or dyslipidemia. The dual-targeting siRNA agent described in the present invention can effectively inhibit the expression of two target genes simultaneously in vivo, offering the advantages of strong non-antagonistic activity and high safety.
A dual-targeting siRNA agent, wherein the dual-targeting siRNA agent comprises two different siRNAs targeting two different genes or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein the two different siRNAs or salts thereof are linked by a ligand for delivering nucleic acid and thereof integrated into a single entity, each of the siRNAs is a dsRNA composed of a sense strand and an antisense strand, and the two different genes are selected from any two of angiotensinogen (AGT), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) and angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3);
An siRNA targeting the AGT gene or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the sequence thereof is selected from any one of the following sequences, or a sequence having a sense strand or antisense strand that differs by no more than 1 nucleotide therefrom:
An siRNA targeting the PCSK9 gene or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the siRNA is selected from any one of the following sequences, or a sense strand or antisense strand sequence that differs by no more than 1 nucleotide therefrom:
An siRNA targeting the ANGPTL3 gene or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the siRNA is modified and selected from any one of the following sequences, or a sequence having a sense strand or antisense strand that differs by no more than 1 nucleotide therefrom:
