Description: Branaplam, also known as NVS-SM1 and LMI-070, is a highly potent, selective and orally active small molecule SMN2 splicing modulator as a potential treatment for SMA Type 1 (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) .NVS-SM1 works by increasing the amount of functional SMN protein produced by the “back-up” gene, SMN2, through modifying its splicing.

More Info:

Biological target: Branaplam (LMI070) is a highly selective, small-molecule splicing modulators of survival motor neuron‑2 (SMN2) with an EC50 of 0.02 μM.
In vitro activity: In the cellular setting, it was observed that SMN protein levels remained elevated after compound treatment, which and suggests that SMN protein has a long half-life. Branaplam (LMI070; NVS-SM1) treatment induces changes in the levels of 175 genes in human fibroblasts. Reference: Nat Chem Biol. 2015 Jul;11(7):511-7. https://doi.org/10.1038/nchembio.1837
In vivo activity: The C/+ SMA mouse model was employed. After oral administration, NVS-SM1 produced dose-dependent elevations of SMN2-FL transcript and SMN protein in brain and spinal cord (Fig. 2a,b), thus establishing translatability and a pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic relationship. Although it showed dose-responsive activity in the C/+ model (Fig. 2a,b), NVS-SM1 exhibited efficacy at lower doses and exposures. NVS-SM1 showed robust activity across disease-relevant induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSc)-derived neurons (Supplementary Fig. 2a,b). It was also demonstrated that the desired transcript response in SMA-type III PBMCs after NVS-SM1 treatment, suggesting that this readout could serve as a peripheral pharmacodynamic marker in the clinic (Supplementary Fig. 2c). A single, 30 mg per kg body weight oral dose of NVS-SM1 resulted in significant (P < 0.05) and durable SMN protein elevation in brain for up to 160 h (Fig. 2c).
