SMN2 splicing modulator TEC-1 — Datasheet

Biological Activity

SMN2 splicing modulator TEC-1 is a novel specific, CNS penetrant small molecule SMN2 splicing modulator, increases the expression level of FL-SMN2 mRNA and decreases the expression level of Δ7 mRNA.TEC-1 showed higher selectively (>60-fold) on galactosylceramidase and huntingtin gene expression compared to previously reported compounds (e.g., SMN-C3) due to off-target effects on cryptic exon inclusion and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.TEC-1 modulates SMN2 splicing and displays disease-modifying effects in motor neurons derived from SMA patient iPSCs (GM24468).|TEC-1 rescues the phenotype in a murine model of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).

Published experimental findings depend on the model and assay conditions. They do not guarantee equivalent performance in every application. For laboratory research use only.
