Elongator complex protein 1 (ELP1).

| ln Vitro |
PTC258 (0.01 nM-0.01 μM; 48 h) effectively raises the levels of full-length ELP1 mRNA and protein in the fibroblasts of patients with familial dysautonomia (FD)[1].
In vitro studies show that PTC258 (0.01 nM-0.01 microM; 48 h) efficiently increases full-length ELP1 mRNA and protein expression in fibroblasts derived from familial dysautonomia (FD) patients. |
| ln Vivo |
PTC258 is well tolerated at 3–24 mg/kg PO once daily for three months. It increases the amount of functional protein in vivo in all studied organs, including the brain in a mouse model, and corrects the splicing of the ELP1 transcript[1].
In vivo, PTC258 (3-24 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily for 3 months) is well tolerated. It corrects the splicing of the ELP1 transcript and significantly increases functional ELP1 protein levels in all tested tissues, including the brain, in a mouse model. |
| Enzyme Assay |
In a non-cellular assay, recombinant ELP1 pre-mRNA substrate is incubated with HeLa nuclear extract and varying concentrations of PTC258. The reaction is analyzed by RT-PCR to detect correctly spliced ELP1 mRNA products. A concentration-dependent increase in full-length ELP1 mRNA is observed, confirming direct modulation of the splicing machinery without cellular interference.
|
| Cell Assay |
The cellular assay involves culturing primary fibroblasts from FD patients. Cells are treated with a concentration range of PTC258 (0.01 nM-0.01 microM) for 48 hours. Following treatment, total RNA and protein are extracted. RT-PCR quantifies ELP1 mRNA levels, and Western blotting is used to detect ELP1 protein expression, demonstrating restoration of functional ELP1.

| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Familial Dysautonomia (FD) Mouse model[1]
Doses: 3 mg/kg, 6 mg/kg, 12 mg/kg, 24 mg/kg Route of Administration: Oral gavage; one time/day for 3 month Experimental Results: Increased full-length ELP1 transcript in a dose-dependent manner. And also, it increased in functional ELP1 protein in the brain, trigeminal, liver, and quadricep. In the animal study, a mouse model of FD is used. PTC258 is administered orally once daily at doses of 3, 6, 12, and 24 mg/kg for up to 3 months. Tolerability is assessed by monitoring body weight and general health. At the study endpoint, tissues (including brain) are harvested to measure ELP1 mRNA and protein levels, confirming corrected splicing and increased functional protein. |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
PTC258 is orally bioavailable. It is well-absorbed following oral administration and capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, as demonstrated by increased ELP1 protein levels in the brain of treated mice. In vitro, it is stable and can be prepared in DMSO for stock solutions, with recommended in vivo formulation vehicles containing DMSO and PEG300.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
PTC258 is reported to be well tolerated in mouse models when administered orally at doses of 3-24 mg/kg daily for three months, with no severe adverse events noted. No specific cytotoxicity studies are detailed, but the compound is intended for research use only and not for human consumption.
