Inotersen is a 2′-O-2-methoxyethyl (2′-MOE) phosphorothioate antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) inhibitor of human transthyretin (TTR) production. The selective binding of inotersen to the TTR messenger RNA (mRNA) causes the degradation of both mutant and wild type (normal) TTR mRNA. This prevents the synthesis of TTR protein in the liver, resulting in significant reductions in the levels of mutated and wild type TTR protein secreted by the liver into the circulation. |
