  • Publication number: 20240166693
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to transcription modulator molecule compounds and methods for modulating the expression of dmpk, and treating diseases and conditions in which dmpk plays an active role. The transcription modulator comprising a) the first terminus comprising a DNA-binding moiety capable of noncovalently binding to a nucleotide repeat sequence CAG or CTG; b) a second terminus comprising a protein-binding moiety capable of binding to a regulatory molecule that modulates an expression of a gene comprising the nucleotide repeat sequence CAG or CTG; and c) an oligomeric backbone comprising a linker between the first terminus and the second terminus.
    Type: Application
