a novel class of utrophinmodulators using an improved phenotypic screen, where reporter expression is derived from the full genomic context of the utrophin promoter. We further demonstrate through target deconvolution studies, including expression analysis and chemicalproteomics, that this compound series operates via a novel mechanism of action, distinct from that of ezutromid.
