Patent 11608501 was granted and assigned to PTC Therapeutics, Inc. on March, 2023 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Described herein is an intronic recognition element for splicing modifier (iREMS) that can be recognized by a small molecule splicing modifier compound of Formula (I) provided herein or a form thereof, wherein W, X, A and B are as defined herein. In one aspect, methods for modifying RNA splicing to modulate the amount of a product of a gene, wherein a precursor RNA transcript transcribed from the gene that contains an intronic REMS is modified utilizing a splicing modifier compound of Formula (I), are described herein. In another aspect, methods for modifying RNA splicing to modulate the amount of an RNA transcript or protein product encoded by a gene, wherein a precursor RNA transcript transcribed from the gene is modified to comprise an intronic REMS utilizing a splicing modifier compound of Formula (I), are described herein.
