Active Ingredient Description
Nusinersen

Nusinersen is an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) which increases the proportion of exon 7 inclusion in survival motor neuron 2 (SMN2) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) transcripts by binding to an intronic splice silencing site (ISS-N1) found in intron 7 of the SMN2 pre-messenger ribonucleic acid (pre-mRNA) and hence when SMN2 mRNA is produced, it can be translated into the functional full length SMN protein. SMA is a progressive neuromuscular disease resulting from mutations in chromosome 5q in the SMN1 gene. Gene SMN2, located near SMN1, is responsible for a small amount of SMN protein production.
