expanded CUG repeat transcript (CUGexp) is the causative agent of myotonicdystrophytype1 (DM1) by sequestering muscleblind-like 1 protein (MBNL1), a regulator of alternativesplicing. On the basis of a ligand (1) that was previously reported to be active in an in vitro assay, we present the synthesis of a small library containing 10 dimeric ligands (4–13) that differ in length, composition, and attachment
