ABSTRACT
Not too long ago, the concept of selectively targeting mRNA with small molecules was perceived as a formidable scientific challenge. The discovery of small molecule splicing modifiers and the development of risdiplam for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) have firmly established proof of concept for this exciting new platform and transformed a scientific curiosity into a viable technology to target disease. Today, several approaches to target mRNA with small molecules, supported by biophysical and screening methods, are in place to deliver new drugs with high therapeutic relevance.
