Abstract

Nucleic acid-based therapeutics show potential for treating pulmonary diseases, which are often fatal and widely prevalent.

  • Nucleic acids are susceptible to degradation, complicating effective delivery to the lungs.
  • Different strategies, such as chemically synthesized nucleic acids and vector encapsulation, have been employed to enhance delivery efficiency.
  • Concerns regarding off-target effects and immune stimulation currently limit the clinical application of nucleic acid drugs.
  • Effective clinical use of nucleic acid therapeutics may depend on the development of safer carriers and delivery methods.
  • The review discusses the mechanisms of nucleic acid drugs, novel delivery systems, and formulations for lung administration.
