Abstract:
Recent advancements in the production, modification, and cellular delivery of RNA molecules facilitated the expansion of RNA-based therapeutics. The increasing understanding of RNA biology initiated a corresponding growth in RNA therapeutics. In this review, the general concepts of five classes of RNA-based therapeutics, including RNA interference-based therapies, antisense oligonucleotides, small activating RNA therapies, circular RNA therapies, and messenger RNA-based therapeutics, will be discussed. Moreover, we also provide an overview of RNA-based therapeutics that have already received regulatory approval or are currently being evaluated in clinical trials, along with challenges faced by these technologies. RNA-based drugs demonstrated positive clinical trial results and have the ability to address previously "undruggable" targets, which delivers great promise as a disruptive therapeutic technology to fulfill its full clinical potentiality.

Targets for Drug Action: Overview
Receptors are either membrane-spanning or intracellular proteins, which upon binding a ligand, get activated and transmit the signal downstream to elicit a response. Drugs bind receptors, either mimicking the action of endogenous ligands or blocking the receptor activity to bring about a modified response. Nearly 35% of approved drugs target the G...
