risdiplam is an approved drug (FDA (2020), EMA (2021))
Compound class:
Synthetic organic
Comment: Risdiplam is a first-in-class, orally bioavailable splicing modifier [3]. Like nusinersen, it is intended to improve the efficiency of SMN2 (HGNC ID 11118; Uniprot Q16637) gene transcription in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) [2].
