Resumo

Introduction. RNA therapy development is one of the most dynamic areas of modern biomedicine. Fundamental principles of ribonucleic acid usage in medicine were established in the USSR, serving as a basis for modern domestic developments.

Objective: to analyze the evolution of RNA therapy in the USSR and Russia from early fundamental research to modern drugs, evaluate the contribution of domestic scientists and development prospects of this field.

Material and methods. An analytical review of scientific publications, patents, and dissertations of Soviet and Russian scientists in the field of RNA medical applications for the period 1950-2025 was conducted. Data on registered RNA-based drugs including Poludan, Ridostin, Amphievovir were analyzed. Foreign sources on mechanisms of RNA drug action through TLR3/7/8 receptors and interferon induction were studied.

Results. It was established that the Soviet school (R.I. Salganik, S.N. Zagrebelny, Yu.S. Alikin) made a significant contribution to developing the concept of enzymatic antiviral therapy and immunomodulators based on polyribonucleotides. Drugs Poludan, Ridostin, sodium nucleinate were created and introduced into practice. Modern developments (Amphievovir) demonstrate antiviral activity in vitro but require full-scale clinical trials.

Conclusion. Russia possesses rich historical heritage and scientific potential in RNA therapy. For widespread implementation of domestic developments, randomized controlled trials, improvement of regulatory framework and integration into international scientific space are necessary.
