Synonym(s): QR-421a
- CAS No.: 2642382-41-8
- Formula:C273H391N81O144P20S20
- Molecular Weight:8372.24
IUPAC Name: ((2R,3S,5R)-3-hydroxy-5-(5-methyl-2,4-dioxo-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-1(2H)-yl-1,3-15N2)tetrahydrofuran-2-yl)methyl dihydrogen phosphate
SMILES: [Ultevursen]
Biological Activity: Ultevursen (QR-421a) is a splice-modulating antisense oligonucleotide targeting exon 13 of the USH2A gene, which restores the functional expression of Usherin protein by inducing exon skipping. Ultevursen binds to USH2A pre-mRNA and modulates the splicing process to specifically skip exon 13 carrying the pathogenic mutation c.2299delG, generating an in-frame transcript and a truncated yet functionally normal protein. Ultevursen exhibits concentration-dependent exon skipping activity in human cells and retinal organoid models, and restores Usherin expression and retinal function in zebrafish and gene-edited mouse models. Ultevursen can be used for related research on type 2 Usher syndrome and non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa[1][2].
