Eteplirsen(Cat No.:I045651)is an antisense oligonucleotide used to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in patients with a confirmed mutation in the DMD gene that is amenable to exon 51 skipping. It works by binding to exon 51 of the dystrophin pre-mRNA, enabling the production of a truncated but functional dystrophin protein. This helps slow the progression of muscle degeneration in DMD patients. Administered via intravenous infusion, Eteplirsen provides a targeted therapeutic approach that addresses the underlying genetic cause of DMD, improving mobility and quality of life in affected individuals.
