Nucleic acid APIs are synthetic substances that mimic or manipulate the structure and function of nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, in the body. These APIs are used in the development of various pharmaceutical products, including gene therapies, antiviral drugs, and cancer treatments. Commonly used nucleic acid APIs include antisense oligonucleotides which are short sequences of nucleic acids that can bind to specific messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules and prevent them from being translated into proteins, small interfering RNA (siRNA) which can silence the expression of specific genes by targeting and degrading their mRNA transcripts, as well as mRNA vaccines which are a new type of vaccine that delivers synthetic mRNA encoding specific antigens into cells, triggering the production of immune responses against pathogens.
