Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of a small-moleculeSMN2splicing modifier in mouse models of spinal muscular atrophy
29 Feb 2016
Abstract excerpt
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is caused by the loss or mutation of both copies of the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. The related SMN2 gene is retained, but due to alternative splicing of exon 7, produces insufficient levels of the SMN protein. Here, we systematically characterize the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics properties of the SMN splicing modifier SMN-C1. SMN-C1 is a low-molecular weight...
