Viltolarsen is a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligonucleotide (PMO) antisense therapy that binds to exon 53 of dystrophin pre-mRNA, causing exon 53 skipping during splicing to restore the reading frame and enable production of a truncated but partially functional dystrophin protein. It is approved for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in patients with confirmed mutations amenable to exon 53 skipping. By restoring a partially functional dystrophin, it slows disease progression in this subset of DMD patients.

Mécanisme d'action

Delivers synthetic messenger RNA encoding a specific protein to host cells, where it is translated by ribosomes to produce the therapeutic protein without integrating into the host genome.
