TEC-1 is structurally similar to SMN-C3 or risdiplam and modulates SMN2 splicing. (a) Pharmacophore model and alignment of TEC-1 (green), risdiplam (pink), and SMN-C3 (blue) with MOE2018.01. Pharmacophore annotation: Aromatic and other pi-system rings (orange), H-bond donor heavy atom (magenta), H-bond acceptor heavy atom (pale blue). (b) Structure of TEC-1. (c) Structure of SMN-C3. (d) Structure of risdiplam. (e) qPCR analysis of FL-SMN2 transcripts in SMA type II fibroblasts (GM03813) exposed to each compound for 24 h. The amounts of mRNA were normalized to those of GAPDH. (f) qPCR analysis of Δ7 transcripts of GM03813 cells exposed to each compound for 24 h. The amounts of mRNA were normalized to those of GAPDH. Data are from two biologically independent samples in e, f. a-d were derived by by Axcelead Drug Discovery Partners, Inc.
