Branaplam diHCl (LMI-070 dihydrochloride; NVS-SM1) is a potent, orally bioactive, small-molecule enhancer of SMN2 (survival of motor neuron-2) splicing that elevates full-length SMN protein and extends survival in a severe SMA mouse model. The SMN2 pre-mRNA and U1 small nuclear ribonucleic protein (snRNP) complex form a transient double-strand RNA structure, which is stabilized through a molecular mechanism. In a manner distinct from constitutive recognition, U1 snRNP increases its binding affinity to the 5' splice site in a sequence-specific manner. This novel mechanism shows that sequence-selective splice modulation via small molecules is feasible and may be used to treat other splicing disorders.
Branaplam diHCl (CAS 1562338-39-9) is a small molecule that promotes survival of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) motor neurons by modulating SMN2 splicing. It is an orally active compound that increases the production of full-length SMN protein. The compound has been investigated for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy and other neurodegenerative diseases. However, specific IC50 values and detailed activity data are not extensively reported in the available literature.
| Targets |
Branaplam diHCl targets the SMN2 gene splicing mechanism. Spinal muscular atrophy is caused by mutations in the SMN1 gene, leading to deficiency of the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. SMN2 is a paralogous gene that produces predominantly truncated, unstable SMN protein due to skipping of exon 7. Branaplam promotes the inclusion of exon 7 in SMN2 mRNA, increasing the production of full-length, functional SMN protein. By increasing SMN protein levels, the compound promotes the survival of motor neurons.

| ln Vitro |
Branaplam HCl (LMI-070 hydrochloride; NVS-SM1) treatment alters the levels of 175 genes in human fibroblasts[1].
In vitro, Branaplam diHCl promotes the inclusion of exon 7 in SMN2 mRNA and increases full-length SMN protein levels in cells derived from SMA patients. It shows efficacy in cellular models of SMA by promoting motor neuron survival. However, specific IC50 values and detailed in vitro activity data are not extensively reported in the available literature. |
| ln Vivo |
Branaplam HCl (LMI-070 hydrochloride; NVS-SM1) (3, 10, 30 mg/kg; oral) hydrochloride causes dose-dependent increases in SMN2-FL transcript and SMN protein in brain and spinal cord[1]. Branaplam hydrochloride (1 mg/kg IV; 3 mg/kg PO) has an AUC of 3.03 μM•h and a CL of 25 mL/min/kg[2]. In the brains of C/+ mice, a single oral dose of 30 mg/kg of Branaplam hydrochloride causes a prominent and long-lasting increase in SMN protein for as long as 160 hours[1]. Branaplam hydrochloride (oral; 0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3 mg/kg) increases body weight and prolongs life in SMNΔ7 mice[1].
In vivo, Branaplam diHCl has been studied in animal models of SMA. As an orally active compound, it has shown efficacy in increasing SMN protein levels and improving survival and motor function in SMA mouse models. The compound has been investigated in clinical trials for the treatment of SMA. However, specific efficacy data and dosing regimens are not extensively detailed. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme/receptor binding assays for Branaplam diHCl are not applicable, as the compound acts by modulating RNA splicing rather than binding to a specific enzyme or receptor. The compound's activity is assessed by measuring SMN2 exon 7 inclusion using RT-PCR or by measuring full-length SMN protein levels by Western blotting or ELISA in SMA patient-derived cells.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for Branaplam diHCl use fibroblast or lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from SMA patients. Cells are cultured in appropriate media and treated with various concentrations of the compound (0.001-10 μM) for 24-72 hours. SMN2 exon 7 inclusion is assessed by RT-PCR. SMN protein levels are measured by Western blotting or ELISA. Motor neuron survival is assessed in differentiated motor neuron cultures.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies with Branaplam diHCl use mouse models of SMA (e.g., SMNΔ7 mice). Mice are treated with the compound orally at doses of 1-30 mg/kg daily for several weeks. Survival, body weight, motor function (rotarod, grip strength), and SMN protein levels in tissues are assessed. Histological analysis of spinal cord and muscle is performed.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetic properties of Branaplam diHCl: The compound is orally active, indicating good oral bioavailability. Specific PK parameters such as Cmax, Tmax, AUC, half-life, and tissue distribution are not extensively reported. The compound is expected to cross the blood-brain barrier to reach the central nervous system.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
The toxicity profile of Branaplam diHCl is not extensively reported. As a compound that modulates RNA splicing, potential toxicities may include off-target effects on other splicing events. The compound is for research use only and not for human therapeutic use. Standard toxicity studies would include acute and subchronic toxicity in rodents.
