| Description |
Revusiran (ALN-TTRSC) is a 1st-generation short interfering RNA, which directed against transthyretin (TTR) mRNA. Revusiran can be used for transthyretin (TTR)-mediated amyloidosis research[1].

| In Vitro |
Revusiran is a chemically synthesized double-stranded siRNA that is covalently linked at the 3′-end of its sense strand to a ligand containing three GalNAc residues. Revusiran is a 1st-generation short interfering RNA targeting transthyretin conjugated to an N-acetylgalactosamine ligand to facilitate delivery to hepatocytes via uptake by the asialoglycoprotein receptors[1].

| In Vivo |
There are no effects on cardiovascular or respiratory function in monkeys after single doses of up to 100 mg/kg. No neurological effects weare noted in monkeys in repeat-dose studies up to 300 mg/kg. Revusiran is well tolerated in repeat-dose mouse (weekly doses) and rat and monkey (five daily doses followed by weekly doses) toxicity studies[1].
