Comment: Ulefnersen (ION363) is an antisense oligonucleotide that is designed to reduce the expression of FUS RNA binding protein (FUS). The P525L FUS variant is associated with the development of a rare and rapidly progressing juvenile form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FUS-ALS) [1]. Antisense-mediated silencing FUSP525L expression is proposed as a novel mechanism to reduce and/or reverse motor neuron loss and disease progression in FUS-ALS patients [2]. Ulefnersen is non-allele-specific, so inhibits expression of mutated and wild type FUS proteins.
Nucleotide sequence is: Gmoe=m5Cmoe-Amoe-Amoe-m5Umoe-dG=dT=m5Cd=dA=m5Cd=m5Cd=dT=dT=dT=m5Cd= Amoe-m5Umoe-Amoe=m5Cmoe=m5Cmoe, where - represents -PO(OH)-, = represents -PS(OH)-, Nmoe is 2'-O-(2-methoxyethyl)-nucleoside, m5N is 5-methyl-nucleoside and dN is 2'-deoxy-nucleoside. We don't have the full chemical structure for ulefnersen. |
