COMPOSITIONS FOR PROMOTING READTHROUGH OF PREMATURE TERMINATION CODONS, AND METHODS OF USING THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed are compounds of general formula (I) that promote readthrough of a premature termination codon (PTC) of an RNA molecule in a translation system, and their use, alone or in combination with other compounds, such as aminoglycoside, to treat diseases or disorders ameliorated by modulation of a premature termination codon (PTC) of an RNA molecule in a translation system. The disorder or disease may be Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, Batten disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, cancer, and spinal muscular atrophy. Ar-L-B (I)
