Viltolarsen
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.
作用机制
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.
Pharmacokinetics (PK)
Pharmacodynamics (PD)
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.
